With a convention coming in November, I had a feeling that this New to Me games list would get pretty hefty. Little did I know how hefty it would get! This was a big month for new to me games. Even better, many of… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2023”

One game mechanism I really like is dice rolling and engine building (ok, that’s two mechanisms). Who doesn’t like chucking a bunch of dice? Ok, Len in the back, maybe. But otherwise, who doesn’t?

October was a great month for new to me games! That’s been a bit unusual lately, so I’m glad that this is back on the upswing. Of course, with every improvement there comes a downside. I played 5 new to me games in October,… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2023”

It’s long, it’s 2-player, but its gameplay has stood the test of time to make it… Continue Reading “Review – Twilight Struggle: Red Sea – Conflict in the Horn of Africa”

There is a phrase in boardgaming that I’m sure you’ve all heard of (unless you’re new to the gaming scene). When a game has a bunch of ways to get points, and where every action is going to get you some points but the… Continue Reading “Review – Point Salad”
