May 2023 Gaming
It’s been another slower month of gaming this last May, again because one of our Sundays was cancelled (this month due to Mother’s Day…stupid moms!) This month, I had the same number of plays (19) as April but only 11 games instead of 13.… Continue Reading “May 2023 Gaming”
Architects of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution from Folded Space
I’ve already talked about the Viscounts of the West Kingdom storage solution from Folded Space, and how much better it is than the actual Collector’s Edition insert. For some reason, the Garphill Games inserts that came with the Collector’s Editions are just terrible as… Continue Reading “Architects of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution from Folded Space”
Friday Night Shots – Asymmetry in Games
We’re back to Canadian Club after some Crown Royal over the last week or two. That’s not bad, of course. It’s a mainstay! But maybe that’s why I’m thinking about asymmetry in boardgames for this Friday Night Shot. Or maybe not. Actually, the reason… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Asymmetry in Games”
Friday Night Shots – How Do You Learn a Game?
We’ve come a long way in this hobby (especially wargames, since that’s what I used to play in my youth) since the days where there were very few games coming out each year so everybody who was interested in gaming actually was playing those… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – How Do You Learn a Game?”

Are they worth it?… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Big Boxes, Are They Worth It?”

Right now, my Dune Imperium box has a hodgepodge of baggies and stuff in… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – My Take on Game Storage Solutions”
Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution from Folded Space
If you’ve read this blog for more than five minutes, then you know that I’m a huge fan of Garphill Games and especially the West Kingdom trilogy of games. I’ve reviewed two of them (Architects of the West Kingdom and Viscounts of the West… Continue Reading “Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution from Folded Space”
New to Me – March 2023
March was a good month for gaming, with a convention and numerous lunch time plays at work as well as some hefty Sunday game days as well. As noted in my March gaming post, I played 21 games! Seven of them were even new… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2023”
Expansion Review – Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Gates of Gold
With the last Viscounts of the West Kingdom Kickstarter (way back in…I can’t remember when!), Garphill Games decided that rather than release expansions for this great games in dribs and drabs, as well as then finally releasing a Deluxe box for the entire game,… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Gates of Gold”
