New to Me – April 2019

You know what? I rock. Yes, I do. Not only did I manage to get five new to me games played in April when I only was able to play eight in total, but two of those five games are more than ten years… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2019”

Review – Embark

I’ve always been an explorer at heart, ready to ride the waves and discover new adventures, new lands, maybe meet a few new people. (Editor – Reading all of your reviews, you’ve had a lot of unfulfilled ambitions) While I was never able to… Continue Reading “Review – Embark”

Ascension – Skulls & Sails Coming in May

I’m a huge Ascension fan, maybe partially because it helped get me back into the whole gaming scene but also because it’s just a fun little deckbuilder. It’s hard to believe it’s been around since 2010 and there are literally tons of expansions (Editor – That could… Continue Reading “Ascension – Skulls & Sails Coming in May”

Review – Dual Powers: Revolution 1917

World War I and the Soviet takeover of Russia have always been fascinating historical topics for me. I’m a historian by education and desire, if not by trade. While I’m sure there have been some games that cover the Russian Revolution, Dual Powers: Revolution 1917… Continue Reading “Review – Dual Powers: Revolution 1917”

New to Me – March 2019

It’s March! Or it was March. This post is about March, at any rate. What was I saying? Oh yeah, I played lots of new to me games last month because last weekend was a convention weekend. I played a total of eight new… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2019”

Review – 13 Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis

The early 1960s were a different time. The chaos in American society over the war in Vietnam hadn’t really started yet. Protests and radicalism weren’t prominent like they became later in the decade. The Cold War, however, was definitely a thing and it was… Continue Reading “Review – 13 Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis”

App Review – Tides of Time

(Edit: 5/7/20 – I forgot to link to the review when I posted that they’ve updated the app. It’s still not awesome, but it’s not bad anymore. And it’s temporarily (as of this writing) free!) There’s something to be said for seeing ages and… Continue Reading “App Review – Tides of Time”

Valley of the Kings Premium Edition – Kickstarter April 2

I’m a big deck-building fan, and the various Valley of the Kings ones are no exception. The three games are the base game, Afterlife and Last Rites.  They all come in really small boxes. The games are designed by Tom Cleaver with artwork by Banu Andaru and Guillermo H.… Continue Reading “Valley of the Kings Premium Edition – Kickstarter April 2”

New to Me – February 2019

February didn’t feel like it was going to be a good month for new to me games, mainly because I was horribly ill during one weekend and missed a game day. Thankfully, the other days had a good variety of new games as well… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2019”
