Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#40-31)
Posted on January 21, 2024 by whovian223
Two weeks and two entries into this list. Maybe I’ll be able to actually do this weekly, unlike in 2022! It was interesting doing a Top 50 rather than a Top 25. Some games have fallen enough that they wouldn’t even be listed if… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#40-31)”

Friday Night Shots – Polyomino Games
Posted on October 20, 2023 by whovian223
It’s Friday again! Weekends are awesome, aren’t they? But I’m pleased that you spend your Friday night (or Saturday morning, maybe?) hanging out with me, having a drink or two (we do have water or pop!) and just commiserating about board games. We’ll just… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Polyomino Games”
Friday Night Shots – One And Done Games
Posted on July 7, 2023 by whovian223
It’s Friday again! That was fast (that could be because I’m not writing this on Friday, since I’m actually out playing games tonight!) Grab a seat, and I hope you don’t mind the Delerium playing on the speakers. The volume’s not high. Can I… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – One And Done Games”
New to Me – April 2023
Posted on May 5, 2023 by whovian223
As mentioned in my April Gaming post, April was not a banner month for games. Too much time off and missing a regular game day really sank that. It also affected my “new to me” games because I only got two of them played!… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2023”
March 2023 Gaming
Posted on April 1, 2023 by whovian223
March was definitely a great month of gaming. I managed to play 21 games (32 plays) in 31 days! And 15 days worth of gaming is always good. Fifteen out of thirty-one? Woo! Many thanks to Boardgame Stats for the wonderful app that lets… Continue Reading “March 2023 Gaming”

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”

New to Me – November 2021
Posted on December 3, 2021 by whovian223
Welcome to November’s “New to Me” post! You may notice something odd about November. No, it’s not that I had way too much Thanksgiving turkey (THANKSGIVING’S IN OCTOBER, YOU NON-CANADIANS!). It’s that three of the seven entries on this list are from Alderac Entertainment… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2021”

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”
