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.

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”

I know I have said this before, but looking at the next couple of centuries in the Boardgame Geek top games rankings, at least the next couple of weeks are going to be very bare bones. I haven’t played a lot of them and… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2701 – 2800”

Rob Bottos is a great guy. Not only is he kind and really interesting to talk to, but he also looks after his fellow gamers. He’s run the regular Bottoscon in New Westminster since 2007 (with one year’s break due to COVID) and it’s… Continue Reading “Bottoscon Winter 2026 Retrospective”
