New to Me – August 2022
Posted on September 20, 2022 by whovian223
September has been a weird month. School has started again, so work has been busy. I just haven’t really felt up to writing anything, but I don’t usually let that get in the way of doing at least this post. However, things have just… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2022”

Posted on December 3, 2021 by whovian223

I such a timely guy, aren’t I? The first post in this series came out what seems like months ago (it was over a month ago, on February 15). What’s taken so long for the second post? Would you believe I fell asleep? All… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 300 – Play or Played – #290-281”

Posted on September 2, 2020 by whovian223
When I began this series about the Boardgame Geek rankings and talking about the games in them, I didn’t think it would be this difficult. The Top 100 was pretty static. So when I spent the first part of the week putting all of… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 200 – Play or Played – #190-181”

It’s week 3 of our weekly look through the Boardgame Geek Top 100 to see what games I’ve played and which ones I may be interested in playing. Last week I got educated about Dominion, maybe even enough to try it again some day. What… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 100 – Played or Play? 80-71”

It’s no secret that I’ve been in a bit of blog doldrums over the last couple of weeks.

June was a slow month for new games, which I know is seriously disappointing to my fellow cult members. Hey, we all have slow months! Besides, I was busy setting up the Cult of the New to Me fundraiser so wasn’t able to find… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2018”
