One reason I love doing these Boardgame Geek century posts about games that are ranked fairly far down is that I get to explore games that are kind of outside the mainstream. And also, most likely, games that I haven’t played in quite a… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3601 – 3700”

Recently the “This Game is Broken” podcast did a “Higher or Lower” game based on games in the Boardgame Geek rankings from 1000 to 2000. (You should really check them out, by the way.

Poker can be a really hardcore game, and quite cutthroat too. Bluffing your opponents into thinking you have an unbeatable hand when you have nothing but crap is a mainstay of the game. Why is he betting so much on that flop? But what… Continue Reading “Gambling With Success – The Gang Review”

I love months where I play a bunch of games that I have no experience with. September gaming was great for the number of plays, but even better for the new to me games that I got to play! I especially love it when… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2025”

Last weekend was the 10th (maybe 11th?) annual Terminal City Tabletop Convention (though I guess it was interrupted by COVID so not actually 11?). I have to say it was probably the best yet.

August was all set to be a banner “new to me” games month. Hell, I was going to a convention! That’s always a great place for new to me games. Sadly, it was not to be, with only three new to me games played.… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2023”
