New to Me – June 2025
Ah, June. Halfway through the year (at the end of it anyway) and it’s good to take stock of where I am in my boardgaming. I’ve played more than half again the number of unique games as I did last year, meaning I (hopefully)… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2025”
June 2025 Gaming
With a convention in June (Bottoscon for the win!), I knew that June would be a much better month for gaming than May was. That’s one reason I love convention months! Even so, there weren’t as many “new to me” games as in previous… Continue Reading “June 2025 Gaming”
Friday Night Shots – How Important is Art?
Has it been five weeks yet? No, it hasn’t! Welcome back to the bar, only a week later. You must have seen the lights on in the window, or maybe the fire that’s in the corner. We should probably put that out. Anyway, it’s… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – How Important is Art?”
March 2025 Gaming
I knew March was going to be a big month for gaming, considering the Terminal City Tabletop Convention weekend. However, I had no idea how big it would be! Last month, I had 20 plays of 14 different games, and I thought it was… Continue Reading “March 2025 Gaming”
Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2025
Last weekend was the 10th (maybe 11th?) annual Terminal City Tabletop Convention (though I guess it was interrupted by COVID so not actually 11?). I have to say it was probably the best yet. In previous years, the people running it didn’t do the… Continue Reading “Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2025”
Friday Night Shots – What Does “Solving” a Game Mean?
Hey there! Welcome back to the bar. It’s been a long month and a half, hasn’t it? It’s been under renovations, but we’re back! Until everything breaks down again. I’m going to try and do these posts much more regularly than they have been… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – What Does “Solving” a Game Mean?”
January 2025 Gaming
It’s a new year! And already we’re 1/12 of the way through it. Who would have thought it would go that fast? It’s also a new year of boardgaming, which means everything I played this month is actually unique to 2025! Unless I played… Continue Reading “January 2025 Gaming”

And anybody else who likes the South Tigris trilogy of games from Garphill, or even if you just like one or… Continue Reading “South Tigris Trilogy Expansions from Garphill Games – On Kickstarter Now!”
Who Wants a Fragrant Clock? – Inventors of the South Tigris Review
Necessity is the mother of invention, but is it the mother of a game about inventing things? Things to ponder. That’s what I am always thinking when I play Inventors of the South Tigris, the latest (and last) of the South Tigris trilogy of… Continue Reading “Who Wants a Fragrant Clock? – Inventors of the South Tigris Review”
Working in the West Kingdom
This story takes place in the game Architects of the West Kingdom. The letter below was found in a church and was translated by somebody very talented yet also very vindictive. He modernized the language of the letter and, when reprimanded for that, destroyed… Continue Reading “Working in the West Kingdom”
