Another month and another “New to Me” games post. This is the 50th! It feels so good to finally be playing some new games. I’m trying to play some of the many games I bought during the worst of the pandemic (so this is… Continue Reading “New To Me – September 2021”

It was a close one this week. Yes, I almost didn’t get this post done so that it would post this week at all. That would break my streak and we know that we can’t have that. But here it is! We’re three episodes… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 300 – Play or Played – #230-221”

Wow, I’m lazy. Either that, or I’ve been in a bad mental space. You know, 2021 was supposed to be better, but so far it’s barely been marginally better and that’s only because 2020 sucked so much. I finished the Top 200 BGG games… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 300 – Play or Played – #300-291”

After three weeks or so, it’s time for another entry in the BGG Top 200! We’re almost done, which you would think would mean that I could actually get these done in a timely manner. But, you know, COVID and everything. Yeah, I do… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 200 – Play or Played – #130-121”

I really seem to have an affinity for Ancient Egypt. I’ve played around with burying things and trying to earn the regard of the Pharaoh. But now I want to become an architect! It’s always been my dream, since I couldn’t become a lumberjack.… Continue Reading “Review – Imhotep”

(Editor’s Note: Apparently there is conflicting information about whether Hanamikoji was a capital at any point. I took my description below directly from the BGG site for the game, but other information seems to contradict that.) Like any honest businessperson, we would all want… Continue Reading “Review – Hanamikoji”

August was the month of the Dragonflight convention (38th edition, see you there on the 39th maybe?) so it’s to be expected that I would get some new games in. But surprisingly, not as many as I expected. I did get a couple of… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2017”

I’m a big fan of the 2016 game Imhotep, the quick and easy game where you’re building monuments in ancient Egypt for points. It’s so good and easy that my non-gamer co-worker played it and loved it. So I was excited to see the… Continue Reading “Imhotep expansion – Eine neue Dynastie coming in October”

After a week of being away, how about a big “New Games I Played in May” post as a return? May was a good month for new games for me, and three of them were actually 2016 games! That’s kinda new, right? Anyway, on… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2017”
