There’s just something about a really neat storage solution for games. Sure, baggies are fine, and you can just turn the box upside down and drop a bunch of baggies onto the table for everybody to sort out. They work…ok. And it’s not the… Continue Reading “Fantastic Factories – Storage Solution from Folded Space”

How our tastes change over time is always kind of interesting to look at. As a kid, I loved Brussels Sprouts! Now, I really really hate them. Ok, I’m kidding…nobody sane likes Brussels Sprouts.

Two weeks and two entries into this list. Maybe I’ll be able to actually do this weekly, unlike in 2022! It was interesting doing a Top 50 rather than a Top 25. Some games have fallen enough that they wouldn’t even be listed if… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#40-31)”

Another year, another OrcaCon has passed. I first went to OrcaCon in 2020, but then some world-wide event that I can’t seem to remember stopped me from going again until last year. I wish it would come to me. Anyway, this last weekend was… Continue Reading “OrcaCon 2024 Retrospective”

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”

Hey there! It’s the weekend again, and I really appreciate you stopping by every week just to chat board games. Or to chat about anything, really. Actually, that’s not totally true, but it is nice to see you! Let me pour you a drink… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Liking Low-Rated Games”

September was a fairly lean month for gaming, especially new to me games. I’ve already talked about my September gaming in general, so how about the monthly chat about “new to me” games? I’m actually quite proud of the fact that this is my… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2023”
