BGG Top Games – 1701 Through 1800
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”
BGG Top Games – 1601 Through 1700
Another break in the weekly schedule, but that’s because of New Years, a new month, some end of the year stuff, and all of that. I hope your new 2026 year has been treating you well so far! We’re back with another century of… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1601 Through 1700”
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”
