Top 10 Games Played in 2019 (5-1)

Whew! After telling you the first half of my Top 10 games played in 2019, I needed a break. Being surrounded by all that awesomeness can be tiring! But now I’m back with the bottom half of the list. These are the 5 best… Continue Reading “Top 10 Games Played in 2019 (5-1)”

Red Flag Over Paris from GMT Games

After looking at a couple of games from GMT that are getting close to reaching the magical level of the P500 track (it takes 500 orders for them to be “given the go,” so to speak), let’s get much more immediate. In this month’s… Continue Reading “Red Flag Over Paris from GMT Games”

1989: Dawn of Freedom from GMT Games

In what is quickly becoming a regular series, today’s post is about another GMT Games P500 game that I’ve ordered but it hasn’t quite made the cut yet. Previous attempts have born fruit! The Barracks Emperors has gained a whole 8 more orders! Last week’s… Continue Reading “1989: Dawn of Freedom from GMT Games”

Ancient Civilizations of the Middle East from GMT Games

Since I’m in full-blooded GMT Fanboy Mode (can I trademark that?

New to Me – August 2019

It’s September, and it’s hard to believe the school year’s about to start. Where has 2019 gone? August was a good month for new to me games, even if there were only three of them (I did playtest a couple at Dragonflight, but I’m… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2019”

New to Me – June 2019

June was a very slow month for new to me games. Only two! And one expansion. Man, were they great ones, though. The expansion is to my favourite game of all time (at least for now) and I got another COIN game in! I… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2019”

New to Me – May 2019

It’s hard to believe we’re almost half-way done with 2019 already. Where does the time go? I know where my time didn’t go last month: playing new to me games. I only have three games to tell you about! However, as the Cult of… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2019”

App Review – Fort Sumter

When news hit a month or so ago that the wonderful 2-player game Fort Sumter was coming to digital via Playdek, I was…well, let’s just say excited and leave it at that (I don’t want to be embarrassed). Now that day has finally arrived,… Continue Reading “App Review – Fort Sumter”
