Friday Night Shots – Should Solo Games Exist?
Last week, I was reading a Boardgame Geek forum post that I thought would be a goldmine for some Friday Night Shots posts. And it is! The thread is entitled “Do you have an unpopular opinion that is TRULY unpopular?” As opposed to those… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Should Solo Games Exist?”
BGG Top Games – 3501-3600
No time warps this time, hopefully. There wasn’t last week, anyway. Yes, doing these centuries (that’s 100 games for those who have been wondering) of Boardgame Geek game rankings have been really interesting and fun to do. But writing them ahead as I do,… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3501-3600”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 04 – Closed for Renovation
Sometimes life just hands you an impossible task and you have to do your best at it, even knowing that you’re probably screwed. Sometimes wargames are like that! Welcome to another tale from the Combat Commander ladder, that monthly tournament of one of the… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 04 – Closed for Renovation”
BGG Top Games – 3301 – 3400
One of these days, I’m going to learn that doing these Boardgame Geek century posts too early is possibly going to cause a rip in the space-time continuum, like what’s happening right about now. What, you didn’t feel that? We’ve all traded places with… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3301 – 3400”
Bottoscon Spring 2026 Retrospective

BGG Top Games – 3201 – 3300
A short turnaround time after the last post about this, mainly because that post was late! We’re actually getting into sections of the Boardgame Geek rankings where there are some good games that don’t deserve to be this far back, and that is the… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3201 – 3300”
BGG Top Games – 3101 – 3200
It’s been over a week since the last Boardgame Geek century post, but last week was pretty full and I didn’t want to oversaturate the market. I didn’t want my readers to be overwhelmed with awesomness. But we’re back now, looking at another century… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3101 – 3200”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 108 – In My Time of Dying
In many tactical wargames, especially pitting small units like squads and stuff against each other, smoke becomes very important. Even more so when there’s a lot of open ground to cover. Welcome to another tale from the Combat Commander ladder, that monthly tournament run… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 108 – In My Time of Dying”
Combat Commander Tips for Beginners
Those of you who have spent any time following this blog (not just reading a post or two here and there) know that Combat Commander (from GMT Games) is one of my favourite games out there. I’m even part of a monthly ladder tournament… Continue Reading “Combat Commander Tips for Beginners”
BGG Top Games – 3001 – 3100
It’s Wednesday, the middle of the week, so how about a middle post about Boardgame Geek rankings? I mentioned last week that I’ll keep doing these until I hit a week where I haven’t played anything. That ain’t this week! I should remind folks… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3001 – 3100”
