A Gaming Life
It had been a quiet September at Dude Central. There was a birthday party that nobody came to (it’s not my fault I accidentally put September 9, 2018 on the invitations. How was I supposed to know that everybody would actually look at the… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2019”
I’ve never done well with a number of Uwe Rosenberg’s “big” games (A Feast for Odin, Agricola, Caverna, etc), which I’m sure is my problem and not his. I can see the good design in them, but they’re just not for me (though I… Continue Reading “Review – Le Havre : Inland Port”
I’m a big fan of the 2-player trick-taking game The Fox in the Forest, published by Foxtrot Games and Renegade Games.

It’s hard to believe we’re almost half-way done with 2019 already. Where does the time go? I know where my time didn’t go last month: playing new to me games. I only have three games to tell you about! However, as the Cult of… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2019”
Imagine you really love trees, so much so that you want to build your own place to house them. To look at them. To love them. Say you’re walking through your forest of trees, when you are suddenly attacked by a bunch of ninjas… Continue Reading “Review – Arboretum”
Quick news post today (I promise a review is coming later this week). Long-time readers know of my love for The Networks (designed by Gil Hova). Not only did I give it a glowing review, but it made it into my Top 5 games… Continue Reading “The Rival Networks Coming from Formal Ferret Games”
