July 2024 Gaming
It’s hard going back to work after a month off. It’s been a really tiring week, so much so that I will not be posting my “new to me” games post until at least the weekend. But I did want to get my July… Continue Reading “July 2024 Gaming”
Putting Wood on the Biblical Fire
Reading the description of Ezra & Nehemiah when it first hit Kickstarter, I was intrigued. If you read this blog for more than just one or two posts, you know I’m a huge fan of Garphill Games and the games designed by Shem Phillips… Continue Reading “Putting Wood on the Biblical Fire”
Friday Night Shots – Should You Learn a Game Before Trying to Teach It?
Two bar visits in a row? That’s a rarity in 2024! But I’m happy to have you come in to have a drink and talk about some obscure boardgame topic that my mind has come up with. I appreciate you indulging me, and I… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Should You Learn a Game Before Trying to Teach It?”
New to Me – June 2024
May was a really boring month for new to me games, so much so that I was wondering how I could correct that for June. How about seven? No, that’s no my winning lotto number, though it should be. That’s how many new games… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2024”

Aloha! (Saying this for my friend who’s out on a cruise, even though she’s not technically going to Hawaii but somewhere just as warm). You may be wondering. “Dave, why are you wearing socks with sandals?” I would say that you should just keep… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2024”
Review – Shipwrights of the North Sea – Redux
What do you do if you love ships but you’re afraid of being out on the water so you can’t actually go sailing? Especially if you’re a Viking? You get a job building them instead of sailing them! That’s the premise of Shipwrights of… Continue Reading “Review – Shipwrights of the North Sea – Redux”
Friday Night Shots – Player Aids
Welcome to another end-of-week social gathering where it’s just you and me! I’d say I’m enough to make it social. Wouldn’t you? Well, anyway, hop on a seat at the bar and let’s chat! I do have to say first, though, that you are… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Player Aids”
Friday Night Shots – Friendship Killing Games
It’s another Friday and welcome to the bar! Funny how nobody else seems to be in here, but it is raining out there pretty good. Always happy to have just my friends in the bar with me, hanging out on a Friday night. Who… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Friendship Killing Games”
