Friday Night Shots – Game Length
(This was supposed to go out last night, but instead it’s going out tonight. Pretend it’s still Friday, ok?) It’s another Friday, and it’s vacation time! Yes, I am off of work for an entire month, not returning until July 31. But since it… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Game Length”
Friday Night Shots – Pre-Order Extravaganza!
Welcome back! Belly up to the bar and let me get you a drink of some kind. Doesn’t have to be booze. It’s Friday again. The week has kind of flown by, though that could be because it feels like I have a million… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Pre-Order Extravaganza!”
Paladins of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution From Folded Space
And now we’re three for three. When Folded Space was offering a bundle deal for storage solutions for the Collector’s Edition boxes of all three West Kingdom games, I jumped at the chance. Having reviewed the Architects of the West Kingdom and Viscounts of… Continue Reading “Paladins of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution From Folded Space”
Review – Wayfarers of the South Tigris
There are games that are just complex for the sake of being complex. The rules are really intricate, each phase has like 10 things to do, and everybody spends 10 minutes trying to figure out what to do on their turn. Then there are… Continue Reading “Review – Wayfarers of the South Tigris”
Friday Night Shots – Expansions: Yea or Nay?
It’s Friday. A long week is finished and it’s time to sit back, relax, have some good food and a drink of some kind (whatever kind you like). There’s plenty of soft music in the background too. This isn’t so much of an issue… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Expansions: Yea or Nay?”
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?”
Friday Night Shots – Big Boxes, Are They Worth It?
It’s Friday, so you know what time it is, right? The whiskey along with me looking at Boardgame Geek is making me think about Big Boxes and Collectors boxes and games, which makes for a perfect Friday Night Shots post. Are they worth it?… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Big Boxes, Are They Worth It?”
