I love game conventions. Not only do they give me even more of an opportunity to play great games, but it gives me the opportunity to game and chat with many people who I don’t see very often. That’s why Bottoscon is one of… Continue Reading “Bottoscon Spring 2025 Retrospective”

It’s time for another in a series of reviews of storage tray solutions from Rails on Boards/Cube4Me, as they endeavour to corner the market on these plastic trays. I even have a bunch of GMT counter trays that I haven’t used because of this!… Continue Reading “People Power – Storage Solution From Rails on Boards”

Yes, I know it’s Saturday. But after a day of having a hole punched in our wall and then another day of long driving (which was great and I picked up a couple of awesome-looking games, but it was long), I wasn’t in the… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – The Shelf of Shame”

We’re back to Canadian Club after some Crown Royal over the last week or two. That’s not bad, of course. It’s a mainstay! But maybe that’s why I’m thinking about asymmetry in boardgames for this Friday Night Shot. Or maybe not. Actually, the reason… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Asymmetry in Games”
