August was a booming month for gaming, despite there not being any conventions or anything. Well, maybe not “booming,” but certainly better than last month! Lunch time games at work certainly helped matters, plus there were a few Sundays where multiple games got played.… Continue Reading “August 2026 Gaming”

That’s the sound of a medieval nation in the throes of civil war. Also the sound of dice hitting the table! Both sound ominous.

We’ve reached the 4000 mark in the BGG top ranked games list, and this century I have to say is one of the worst as far as my familiarity with any of the games goes. We haven’t hit the “I don’t know any of… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3901-4000”

As we go deeper into the Boardgame Geek game rankings, it’s almost like going deep, deep underwater. Sometimes there’s something truly beautiful down here, like some full-coloured coral in bloom that is just an amazing sight. And sometimes you get a few rocks.

There’s something cool about games that have small boxes that you can cart around fairly easily, just sticking it in the back of your pack behind huge games like Speakeasy or something. There’s also something cool about jetting through the galaxy, colonizing planets and… Continue Reading “Dicing Your Way Through the Galaxy – Tiny Epic Galaxies Review”

No time warps this time, hopefully. There wasn’t last week, anyway. Yes, doing these centuries (that’s 100 games for those who have been wondering) of Boardgame Geek game rankings have been really interesting and fun to do. But writing them ahead as I do,… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3501-3600”

It’s been over a week since the last Boardgame Geek century post, but last week was pretty full and I didn’t want to oversaturate the market. I didn’t want my readers to be overwhelmed with awesomness. But we’re back now, looking at another century… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3101 – 3200”

There were no conventions attended in May, but there was a 14-hour games marathon where a bunch of games were played. So I knew this would be a lengthy post! This month, I actually played more new to me games than I did in… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2026”
