This post took me a lot less time than last month’s did. That’s because there were no conventions in April! Instead of 10+ new to me games, there are only four in this month’s post, but they are all pretty good! The Cult of… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2026”

This is very late, and I am very sorry. Usually I have written my “New to Me Games” post by the end of the first week of the month. But March was such a cornucopia of new games that I just couldn’t do it!… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2026”

It’s time for another century of Boardgame Geek rated games, getting down into the second half of the 2000s and seeing what’s there. This one isn’t quite going to be the bonanza that last time’s was, but there are definitely some good games in… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2501 – 2600”

After a rather lackluster February gaming month, I knew March was going to be pretty huge. Not only was it the great Terminal City Tabletop Convention, but it also captured one day of Bottoscon Winter. It would have been even larger if we hadn’t… Continue Reading “March 2026 Gaming”

As we get further and further down the BGG rankings, the pickings are becoming increasingly slim. But it’s also made me think a little bit, considering some of the games that show up in each century. I know, thinking is dangerous, especially for me.… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2201 – 2300”

Has it been a year already since last year’s Terminal City convention? Why yes, yes it has. This year’s event was still down at the Vancouver Convention Centre on the waterfront, but it changed buildings to a much larger room. This convention-goer approves of… Continue Reading “Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2026”

Rob Bottos is a great guy. Not only is he kind and really interesting to talk to, but he also looks after his fellow gamers. He’s run the regular Bottoscon in New Westminster since 2007 (with one year’s break due to COVID) and it’s… Continue Reading “Bottoscon Winter 2026 Retrospective”

We’re into a new millennium! Not year-wise, of course. We are sadly still in 2026. But in looking at the Boardgame Geek game rankings, we are now over 2000. Some might say we’re getting into the dregs, where I haven’t played, or even thought… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2001 Through 2100”
