The beginning of the 1970s was a tumultuous time. The Vietnam War was in full swing, I had just been born so I hadn’t really amounted to much yet, and worst of all, people were wearing some really ugly clothes. Oh yeah, there was… Continue Reading “Review – Watergate”

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.
