Yes, I know it’s Saturday. But after a day of having a hole punched in our wall and then another day of long driving (which was great and I picked up a couple of awesome-looking games, but it was long), I wasn’t in the… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – The Shelf of Shame”

September was a fairly lean month for gaming, especially new to me games. I’ve already talked about my September gaming in general, so how about the monthly chat about “new to me” games? I’m actually quite proud of the fact that this is my… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2023”

Talk about taking it right to the end! We weren’t able to play our game until the last week of September, and then the VASSAL server went down and we didn’t finish the game until Friday, September 29th.
