July is always going to be a bit of a slower month for gaming, mainly because I’m on vacation for a large portion of it. That means no lunchtime games! Though I was able to get a bunch of Final Girl plays in, which… Continue Reading “July 2026 Gaming”

I know I’ve talked about expansions before on Friday Night Shots (both ones you won’t play again and whether or not you even like them to begin with), but a recent post on Boardgame Geek prompted another thought that I wanted to explore.

There were no conventions attended in May, but there was a 14-hour games marathon where a bunch of games were played. So I knew this would be a lengthy post! This month, I actually played more new to me games than I did in… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2026”

It’s always interesting when good games are reimplemented. Will the new one keep the same quality or charm as the previous game? Will it make it better? Is it being designed to correct mistakes from the original? You get that with games like Dune… Continue Reading “Skipping Through the Moors – Forest Shuffle: Dartmoor Review”

After a rather lackluster February gaming month, I knew March was going to be pretty huge. Not only was it the great Terminal City Tabletop Convention, but it also captured one day of Bottoscon Winter. It would have been even larger if we hadn’t… Continue Reading “March 2026 Gaming”

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”

Now we’ve gone and done it. We’ve now reached the Top 10 games of all time, played by me at least.

We’re starting to get down into the dregs of the Boardgame Geek Top 2000 games. Not dregs in that these are bad games, because considering there are thousands of games in the BGG database, the top 2000 are still fairly highly rated. But just… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1701 Through 1800”
