September 2023 Gaming

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 2023 Retrospective

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”

Dire Wolf Digital Going App Crazy With Announcements

(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”

Expansion Review – Clank in Space: Cyber Station 11

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”

Shards of Infinity: Saga Collection Coming Soon from Stone Blade

(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”

Expansion Review – Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Gates of Gold

With the last Viscounts of the West Kingdom Kickstarter (way back in…I can’t remember when!), Garphill Games decided that rather than release expansions for this great games in dribs and drabs, as well as then finally releasing a Deluxe box for the entire game,… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Gates of Gold”

First Look – Undaunted: Normandy app on Steam

Undaunted: Normandy is a wargame/card game combination designed by the excellent designers David Thompson and Trevor Benjamin. It was published in 2019 by Osprey Games and I actually wrote about how excited I was when it was first announced. Then I never bought it.… Continue Reading “First Look – Undaunted: Normandy app on Steam”

Expansion Review – Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Keeper of Keys

Shem Phillips and S J MacDonald of Garphill Games fame, seem to have a side job in addition to designing great games. They are the Adepts of Alliteration! That’s why all of their expansions have brilliant alliteration. Works of Wonder, Age of Artisans, and… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Keeper of Keys”
