Lacrimosa – Storage Solution from Folded Space

Folded Space - Lacrimosa - Trays

It’s been a while since I’ve put together a Folded Space insert (some of the best game inserts out there right now), but when I bought Lacrimosa direct from Devir Games when it went on their Black Friday sale for a steal, I knew… Continue Reading “Lacrimosa – Storage Solution from Folded Space”

February 2025 Gaming

BG Stats - Feb 2025 - Grid format

February wasn’t a great month for me overall, in terms of posting (or mental health, really). But it was a great month for games! Missing the first Sunday of the month due to weather, and then only one game on Super Bowl Sunday, I… Continue Reading “February 2025 Gaming”

Friday Night Shots – What Does “Solving” a Game Mean?

The White Castle - Main Board

Hey there! Welcome back to the bar. It’s been a long month and a half, hasn’t it? It’s been under renovations, but we’re back! Until everything breaks down again. I’m going to try and do these posts much more regularly than they have been… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – What Does “Solving” a Game Mean?”

Top 10 New to Me Games of 2024

Harmonies - Final board

I’ve been writing this blog for almost 8 years now, doing a monthly “new to me” post for just as long (it started in April 2017, but it was about March’s games!), and I often do “best games played” of the year if I’m… Continue Reading “Top 10 New to Me Games of 2024”

Rock Hard 1977 – Storage Solution from Folded Space

Rock Hard 1977 - Folded Space - Full Insert

Regular readers of this blog know that I’m a big fan of Folded Space inserts because they just make organizing and playing games so much easier. No emptying of baggies, and then wondering which baggy each thing should go in when you’re putting stuff… Continue Reading “Rock Hard 1977 – Storage Solution from Folded Space”

November 2024 Gaming

19 - BG Stats - November 2024 - Grid

With Bottoscon at the beginning of the month, you knew that November would be chock full of gaming goodness. And it was! Maybe not quite as much as might have been otherwise, since we missed a Sunday game day and the next one had… Continue Reading “November 2024 Gaming”

Bottoscon 2024 Retrospective

Bottoscon 2024 - The Quay in New Westminster on the Fraser River

Once again in November I was able to attend Bottoscon, the largest wargaming convention in the Pacific Northwest. This year, they managed to get over 150 attendees, which is amazing considering that when they began 18 years ago, they had 32 attendees. The convention… Continue Reading “Bottoscon 2024 Retrospective”

Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) – What Attracts You to a Game?

Civolution - Box (new game by Stefan Feld)

It’s been a month and the bar’s been closed! More renovations needed (and I’m just lazy, actually), but I’m glad you happened by and could stop in! The jukebox renovations took up most of the month, partially because I kept forgetting to pay the… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) – What Attracts You to a Game?”

September 2024 Gaming

Rock Hard 1977 - Board

September was a weird month for gaming, mainly because we didn’t play a lot at work because various people were away (or we just were so exhausted due to work stuff that we just wanted to hibernate at lunch). Thus, most (but not all)… Continue Reading “September 2024 Gaming”

Sex, Candy, and Rock & Roll

Rock Hard 1977 - box

In the 70s, I wonder how many kids wanted to grow up to be rock stars. I wasn’t one of them. While I am a child of the 70s, I wasn’t really listening to much rock music when I was growing up. My parents… Continue Reading “Sex, Candy, and Rock & Roll”
