Living on the Edge – Forest Shuffle – Woodland Edge Expansion Review
I want to say that the Alpine expansion for Forest Shuffle was the first one, but I’m not 100% sure. That one (as I mentioned in my review) helped by adding a few different cards that mitigated some other favoured strategies in the base… Continue Reading “Living on the Edge – Forest Shuffle – Woodland Edge Expansion Review”
Finding a Stranger in the Alps – Forest Shuffle – Alpine Expansion Review
(100,000 bonus points for anybody who gets the (kind of) movie reference in the title) I’ve been a fan of Forest Shuffle for quite a while, as you can tell from reading my review. This wonderful tableau-building game never really gets old and plays… Continue Reading “Finding a Stranger in the Alps – Forest Shuffle – Alpine Expansion Review”
July 2025 Gaming
Being off for almost the entire month of July, I wasn’t expecting much on the gaming front. However, I managed to attended a Wednesday night meet-up a couple of times, which greatly helped take the place of our normal lunchtime games at work, at… Continue Reading “July 2025 Gaming”
Friday Night Shots – A Quick & Dirty Top 50
Welcome back to the bar! Last month, I mentioned how this is almost becoming a monthly thing instead of a weekly thing. That was…one month ago. I guess it is! Welcome to the finest bar in the city, because it’s so clean. It certainly… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – A Quick & Dirty Top 50”
Top 10 New to Me Games of 2024
I’ve been writing this blog for almost 8 years now, doing a monthly “new to me” post for just as long (it started in April 2017, but it was about March’s games!), and I often do “best games played” of the year if I’m… Continue Reading “Top 10 New to Me Games of 2024”
Two-Steppin’ in the Woods – Forest Shuffle Review
Tableau-building card games are becoming all the rage. Or maybe they’ve been the rage and I just never noticed? (Editor: “Doesn’t say much for your observational skills, does it?”) One thing I haven’t seen much of, however, are tableau-building games where you are combining… Continue Reading “Two-Steppin’ in the Woods – Forest Shuffle Review”
New to Me – October 2024
As I mentioned the other day, October as a month really sucked, especially for gaming. Being sick, missing three game days, I was totally surprised that I actually managed to play any new to me games! Much less three. I even managed to placate… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2024”
June 2024 Gaming
I wasn’t really expecting much for gaming in June, mainly because of Father’s Day but also because I wasn’t sure how many lunchtime games we would get in. There was a lot of stuff going on at work that was taking the place of… Continue Reading “June 2024 Gaming”
Friday Night Shots – Modular Expansions & Stories
It’s vacation time! Today was my last day of work for 4 weeks, and wow has this been needed. I’m hoping that my blog output will increase a bit this month as I have more mental capacity to actually write. But we’ll see what… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Modular Expansions & Stories”
April 2024 Gaming
After a really full March, where it seemed like I played one game a day (ok, that’s only if you average it out, but still), April was a wasteland for gaming, sadly. Missing two Sundays, not as many games during lunch at work (if… Continue Reading “April 2024 Gaming”
