We’re quickly moving through the 5000s in the Boardgame Geek game rankings list, and this week is actually pretty good and pretty bad. Pretty good because I’ve actually played three of them! (actually 4, but the extra one jumped up into last week’s century… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 5301 – 5400”

September looked like it was going to be very dry in the “new to me games” system, with only one going into the last two weeks. Once again, Abi saves the day! Getting five new to me games played in the last two weeks… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2026”

Even closer to 5000 on the Boardgame Geek ranking system, the pickings of played games are getting slim! Not so slim that it would keep me from doing another in this series of posts, because it’s so goddamned fun to talk about games, both… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4801 – 4900”

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. Rumble Nation is a dice-chucking area control game where players are attempting to take over as many provinces as possible… Continue Reading “The Distant Sound of Thunder – Rumble Nation Review”

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.
