I wasn’t expecting too much out of my May gaming period, mainly because of Mother’s Day and two Vancouver marathons meaning that we didn’t have our usual Sunday gaming place for three straight weeks. Suddenly, though, the light appeared and we had an alternate… Continue Reading “May 2025 Gaming”

I knew March was going to be a big month for gaming, considering the Terminal City Tabletop Convention weekend. However, I had no idea how big it would be! Last month, I had 20 plays of 14 different games, and I thought it was… Continue Reading “March 2025 Gaming”

It’s a new year! And already we’re 1/12 of the way through it. Who would have thought it would go that fast? It’s also a new year of boardgaming, which means everything I played this month is actually unique to 2025! Unless I played… Continue Reading “January 2025 Gaming”

I’ve been writing this blog for almost 8 years now, doing a monthly “new to me” post for just as long (it started in April 2017, but it was about March’s games!), and I often do “best games played” of the year if I’m… Continue Reading “Top 10 New to Me Games of 2024”

It’s a new year, and coming up on my 8th blog anniversary in March! One thing I forgot to mention in yesterday’s Blog in Review post was the fact that, in those 8 years (or at least since I started, which I think was… Continue Reading “New to Me – December 2024”

(Edit: 11/10/25: I’ve upgraded this post to a review of the game, rather than a “first impression,” since I’ve now played it four times. I would not change a word of it, though. I did manage to score 194 points in one game! But… Continue Reading “Review – Civolution”

It’s been a month and the bar’s been closed! More renovations needed (and I’m just lazy, actually), but I’m glad you happened by and could stop in!
