Review – New York Slice

New to Me – October 2017
Welcome to this month’s New to Me post, as discussed on an episode of the Boardgames in Bed podcast (not this month’s, but the concept of “New to Me” games) It was looking like a lean month for new to me games in October.… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2017”
Review – Valley of the Kings: Last Rites
In Ancient Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs where whoever died and built the best pyramid was seen to be the most dope ruler in all the land, sometimes it wasn’t just what was buried with you that made the difference. Sometimes it was… Continue Reading “Review – Valley of the Kings: Last Rites”
Review – Iron Curtain
The Cold War has always been an interesting topic for me. As a child of the 70s and 80s, I grew up during the height of it, when TV-movies like The Day After and World War III (damn, David Soul could act) made us wonder… Continue Reading “Review – Iron Curtain”

Sometimes when you sit down for a board game, you want something really deep and thinky. Something with meaty decisions where one bad choice will suddenly set you back for the rest of the game. Other times, you want something silly and fun. And… Continue Reading “Review – Okey Dokey”
New to Me – August 2017
August was the month of the Dragonflight convention (38th edition, see you there on the 39th maybe?) so it’s to be expected that I would get some new games in. But surprisingly, not as many as I expected. I did get a couple of… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2017”
Review – No Thanks
I have fond memories of playing cards on Christmas Eve down at Grandma’s house. The Roy family would gather there, open their presents, have a lovely dinner, and then a bunch of us would get around the table and play cards. Usually Push Rummy… Continue Reading “Review – No Thanks”
