New to Me – April 2018
April was an interesting month for the Cult of the New to Me. First, we had our new member initiation, but nobody came (oops!). (Editor: Doesn’t help that you gave them the wrong date) Then I took a look at the new to me… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2018”
Review – Fugitive
I’ve been told that, as I get older, I’m going to look a lot like Tommy Lee Jones, only with more wrinkles (Editor: Talking to yourself doesn’t count). Why do I bring that up here, other than to let you know that I’m kind… Continue Reading “Review – Fugitive”
Expansion Review – Smash Up: Cease and Desist
If I keep on getting and reviewing Smash Up expansions, I’m going to have to come up with some creative openings that don’t all sound the same. Maybe make up some meta joke that will carry throughout the reviews? Not sure on that one.… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Cease and Desist”
New to Me – March 2018
I’m tired. It’s been a busy month of playing new games! So I’ve definitely enjoyed it. But I’m tired. If I hadn’t been writing this post as I played the games, I’m not sure if it would have come out. This is a long one.… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2018”
Expansion Review – Smash Up: Science Fiction Double Feature
As I’ve stated a few times before, Smash Up and I have a bit of a checked history. I actually almost traded it away because I found it fiddly and didn’t really care for it. Then I played it again and something just clicked.… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Science Fiction Double Feature”
Review – The Fox in the Forest
I’m a big fan of trick-taking games, most especially the wonderful game Diamonds. But what happens when you’re sitting there with only one person, trying to figure out what game to play? You’re both fans of trick-taking games, but there are only two of… Continue Reading “Review – The Fox in the Forest”
Smash Up Goes to the 70s
(Edit – 12/20/19: For those of you finding this article in some other way, the review is up!) Smash Up is a game with a special place in my heart, mainly because it had to earn its way there. When I first played it,… Continue Reading “Smash Up Goes to the 70s”
Review – Imhotep
I really seem to have an affinity for Ancient Egypt. I’ve played around with burying things and trying to earn the regard of the Pharaoh. But now I want to become an architect! It’s always been my dream, since I couldn’t become a lumberjack.… Continue Reading “Review – Imhotep”
Review – Hanamikoji
(Editor’s Note: Apparently there is conflicting information about whether Hanamikoji was a capital at any point. I took my description below directly from the BGG site for the game, but other information seems to contradict that.) Like any honest businessperson, we would all want… Continue Reading “Review – Hanamikoji”
New to Me – January 2018
It was actually a pretty light month for new to me games. Between being sick and missing two game days/nights and then actually playing a few games multiple times, the new experiences were few and far between. In fact, I only have two new… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2018”
