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”

With a convention at the beginning of the month, it was a no-brainer that November would be a bigger gaming month than October had been. However, after working remotely for most of the month (so no lunch-time games, since I’m usually doing stuff around… Continue Reading “November 2023 Gaming”

One of the common words I hear to describe some games with lots of upkeep is “fussy.” That’s when there’s a bunch of stuff on the table, you’re trying to keep straight multiple different abilities and tracks and hopefully you don’t forget anything.

November was an interesting month for boardgaming. I went to my second convention this year, a relatively small (compared to SHUX, anyway!) local wargaming convention where I was finally able to get a bit of wargaming done!

June 2022 was a weird month. For the most part, things are going ok, especially compared to last year. But there are so many bad things going on the world that it’s still really stressful. Plus, I’m on vacation the entire month of July… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2022”

One of the cool new 2-player games I bought during the pandemic lockdowns and brought to work once we came back to the office was Riftforce.

Welcome to November’s “New to Me” post! You may notice something odd about November. No, it’s not that I had way too much Thanksgiving turkey (THANKSGIVING’S IN OCTOBER, YOU NON-CANADIANS!). It’s that three of the seven entries on this list are from Alderac Entertainment… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2021”

Wow, it’s been over a month since the last edition of the Top 300 boardgames on Boardgame Geek. I think that’s a bad sign. Is it a bad sign? Is it because of the funk I’ve been in over the last month or so?… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 300 – Play or Played – #280 – 271”
