February is the shortest month of the year, though it can seem quite long (or did before a stat holiday was added to it). It can seem even longer when you don’t get as many games played as usual! As I mentioned in my… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2023”

February was a weird month for gaming. I missed on Sunday Funday because of doing a math trade (where I traded 17 games for a bunch of money and 5 other games!) and then I was on vacation for a week so we didn’t… Continue Reading “February 2023 Gaming”

It was published in 2019 by Osprey Games and I actually wrote about how excited I was when it was first announced.

It’s been a few months since my lost post about the monthly GMT Update! That’s not GMT’s fault. They do it monthly. I just haven’t had a lot to say about the more recent ones. At least nothing that really seemed blogworthy. How many… Continue Reading “Highlights From the January 2023 GMT Games Update”

One of the common words I hear to describe some games with lots of upkeep is “fussy.” That’s when there’s a bunch of stuff on the table, you’re trying to keep straight multiple different abilities and tracks and hopefully you don’t forget anything.

OrcaCon is a convention held in Bellevue, Washington in January every year. Sadly, I wasn’t able to go last year and the two years before that…well, something happened. I’m not really sure what. I went to my first OrcaCon in January 2020 and then… Continue Reading “OrcaCon 2023 Retrospective”

Sometimes we just need a little peace in our lives, especially during these tumultuous times. What can be more peaceful than brewing and selling tea? Ok, maybe a certain panda game, but other than that? I’ve heard a ton of good things about the… Continue Reading “App Review – Chai”
