This post has been a long time coming. Sorry about that. Life has a way of getting away from you sometimes, doesn’t it? Especially in these chaotic times. I swear that 2020 has been…well, let’s say “challenging.” However, I have made promises to people… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 200 – Play or Played – 180-171”

It’s a brand new year! And this time, I can actually say that while talking about 2020 games (unlike last month). January was a busy month for new-to-me games. I went to two conventions on back-to-back weekends (that was a lot of fun but… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2020 (Part 1)”

I’m tired. It’s been a busy month of playing new games! So I’ve definitely enjoyed it. But I’m tired. If I hadn’t been writing this post as I played the games, I’m not sure if it would have come out. This is a long one.… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2018”

Welcome to this month’s New to Me post, as discussed on an episode of the Boardgames in Bed podcast (not this month’s, but the concept of “New to Me” games) It was looking like a lean month for new to me games in October.… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2017”

I love books. Books make me happy. The feel of the paper as you turn the pages. The new book smell. The tap of your finger on the screen as you go to the next page… Wait, what? Anyway, books are awesome. I can… Continue Reading “Review – Biblios”

March was actually a very good month for “new to me” games, and I even managed to hit three 2017 games in there! The year is off to a good start. Pretty much everything was light, filler stuff (which is never a bad thing… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2017”

One of the really fun things about board games, besides playing them if they are really good, is that wonderful feeling when you first get a game. It’s all in shrink wrap, pristine, nobody has touched what’s inside. It has that new game smell.… Continue Reading “It’s All About the Insert”
