It’s a new year, but let’s take one last look at the old year before we continue on! December was not a huge month for new to me games, as I detailed earlier. But quality trumps quantity, so even though there are only three… Continue Reading “New to Me – December 2023”

It’s a brand new year! And as I mentioned yesterday, I plan to continue blogging at the pace that I kept up last year. Maybe even more, though I’m not sure if that would kill me or not. After the blog review yesterday, you… Continue Reading “December 2023 Gaming”

(Edit: 3/12/24) – It’s out of Early Access, and available on iOS/Android as well! One of the biggest games of 2020, hitting during the pandemic lockdowns but still going strong, was Dune: Imperium from Dire Wolf Digital. It was just phenomenally well-received, so much… Continue Reading “App Review – Early Access – Dune: Imperium”

As 2023 steamrolls ahead, another month of gaming is complete! September actually was a slight step back from August, even though I didn’t miss any game days! However, there were fewer days at work where we had lunch free to play. In addition to… Continue Reading “September 2023 Gaming”

Dragonflight was my first convention ever, back in 2015 (I think). It’s held at the same hotel in Bellevue, Washington, as OrcaCon is held (though the hotel rooms are a lot more expensive, being in the Summer instead of January like OrcaCon). Thus, it… Continue Reading “Dragonflight 2023 Retrospective”

(Edit: 10/5/23) – Finally, the last design diary! I think. Nope, there are 1-2 more coming. Paul Dennen reveals how Contracts work and it looks like a major boost to the beginning of the game, at least in trying to get money. You can… Continue Reading “Dire Wolf Digital Going App Crazy With Announcements”

Finally, my set is complete! Clank in Space is always near the top of my games played. I just love the deckbuilding aspects, how the board works, and how you can end the game without any points. Ok, I don’t love that last part,… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Clank in Space: Cyber Station 11”

After a robust March of gaming, April took a bit of a downturn. The lack of a convention along with missing a Sunday game day and being off for a week so there were no lunch time games that week, all of that combined… Continue Reading “April 2023 Gaming”

(Edit: 7/12/23) – The campaign went live a couple of days ago and I’m unenthused. This is a great purchase for anybody who doesn’t already have the game. The game is great and you should definitely check it out! But if you’ve bought everything… Continue Reading “Shards of Infinity: Saga Collection Coming Soon from Stone Blade”
