After last month where I said that my “new to me games” list was slacking off a bit in 2026, August managed to bring six new games to the table! That still only puts me at 46 new games where last year was 84.… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2026”

Recently I was watching a boardgame Youtube video about the creator’s top 10 things that they don’t like in games (sorry, I don’t remember who it was or I would link to them). One of these “things he avoids” was “limited communication in games.”… Continue Reading “I’m Not Talking to You – Games Where You Can’t Communicate”

Has it been a year already since last year’s Terminal City convention? Why yes, yes it has. This year’s event was still down at the Vancouver Convention Centre on the waterfront, but it changed buildings to a much larger room. This convention-goer approves of… Continue Reading “Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2026”

Rob Bottos is a great guy. Not only is he kind and really interesting to talk to, but he also looks after his fellow gamers. He’s run the regular Bottoscon in New Westminster since 2007 (with one year’s break due to COVID) and it’s… Continue Reading “Bottoscon Winter 2026 Retrospective”

Hard to believe that we’re already a month into 2026! My, how time flies. I wasn’t sure what to expect from January, especially because we had some really small Sundays and long games played. Which is good! But also means that not a lot… Continue Reading “January 2026 Gaming”

Poker can be a really hardcore game, and quite cutthroat too. Bluffing your opponents into thinking you have an unbeatable hand when you have nothing but crap is a mainstay of the game. Why is he betting so much on that flop? But what… Continue Reading “Gambling With Success – The Gang Review”

It’s nice when a month of gaming comes together in unexpected ways is better than you expected it to be. I was surprised by July’s gaming numbers, considering I was off. August came around and I was going to be missing one Sunday due… Continue Reading “August 2025 Gaming”

With a convention in June (Bottoscon for the win!), I knew that June would be a much better month for gaming than May was. That’s one reason I love convention months! Even so, there weren’t as many “new to me” games as in previous… Continue Reading “June 2025 Gaming”
