Back to Video Game Fighting – Tag Team Review
There have been a few “auto-battler” card games out in the last few years, most notably Challengers (which is a huge multiplayer tournament romp if you do it right). What is an auto-battler? It’s when you have a deck of cards shuffled, and you… Continue Reading “Back to Video Game Fighting – Tag Team Review”
Elevating Card Play – Up or Down Review
Relatively quick card games are my bread and butter on work lunches, though of course we also make time for some other shorter games (like Cascadia). One game that was not on my radar at all until I saw the Boardgame Geek GameNight! crew… Continue Reading “Elevating Card Play – Up or Down Review”
BGG Top Games – 4601-4700
After a week where I literally had not played any of the games in the Boardgame Geek century I was talking about, this week is going to be huge! Well, maybe not huge, but we’re back to at least a few. That will probably… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4601-4700”
Dinos Dinos Everywhere! – Final Girl – The Raptor Games Review
We are now down to it. The final Final Girl feature film left for me to play, though I do have three vignettes to play. Series 4 is now over with the release of The Raptor Games, a film where you are on an… Continue Reading “Dinos Dinos Everywhere! – Final Girl – The Raptor Games Review”
BGG Top Games – 4501 – 4600
We have reached the midway point of the 4000s in the Boardgame Geek game rankings, and we have also hit another milestone. I have not played or do not own any of the games in this century. I know I said originally that I… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4501 – 4600”
New to Me – August 2026
After last month where I said that my “new to me games” list was slacking off a bit in 2026, August managed to bring six new games to the table! That still only puts me at 46 new games where last year was 84.… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2026”
BGG Top Games – 4401 – 4500
We’re halfway through the 4000s in our weekly look at games on the Boardgame Geek top games list, and things are looking up again. Slightly. Last week, I had only played two of the games in that century and I was beginning to despair… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4401 – 4500”
August 2026 Gaming
August was a booming month for gaming, despite there not being any conventions or anything. Well, maybe not “booming,” but certainly better than last month! Lunch time games at work certainly helped matters, plus there were a few Sundays where multiple games got played.… Continue Reading “August 2026 Gaming”
Things Are Getting Stranger – Final Girl – The Falconwood Files Review
I’m actually surprised that it took the Final Girl franchise until Series 3 to do a film based on Stranger Things. However, when they decide to do so, they go whole hog and throw in everything but the kitchen sink. Did you think there… Continue Reading “Things Are Getting Stranger – Final Girl – The Falconwood Files Review”
The Distant Sound of Thunder – Rumble Nation Review
That’s the sound of a medieval nation in the throes of civil war. Also the sound of dice hitting the table! Both sound ominous. Rumble Nation is a dice-chucking area control game where players are attempting to take over as many provinces as possible… Continue Reading “The Distant Sound of Thunder – Rumble Nation Review”
