New to Me – September 2017
September was a good month for “new to me” games. It was a good month for gaming in general, but the new ones I got to play were a nice mix of old and new. Which illustrates exactly the point of my “new to… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2017”
Century – Golem Edition (Century review appendix)
Earlier today, I posted a review of Century: Spice Road, the 2017 spice-converting card game by Plan B Games. A new version of this game has just come out in the past couple of months, called Century: Golem Edition, with art by Justin Chan… Continue Reading “Century – Golem Edition (Century review appendix)”
Review – Century: Spice Road
Have you ever dreamed of being a trader in the medieval world, trading one type of cube spice for another type, fulfilling contracts by turning in certain types of cubes spices? Of course you have! Who hasn’t? (Pipe down, you in the back. You… Continue Reading “Review – Century: Spice Road”
Review – Okey Dokey
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

Review – Würfel Bohnanza
There’s something to be said for a really good filler game, one that can be really short or longer if you have the time, but it doesn’t take much energy or too much thought. There’s also something to be said for a good dice… Continue Reading “Review – Würfel Bohnanza”
Imhotep expansion – Eine neue Dynastie coming in October
I’m a big fan of the 2016 game Imhotep, the quick and easy game where you’re building monuments in ancient Egypt for points. It’s so good and easy that my non-gamer co-worker played it and loved it. So I was excited to see the… Continue Reading “Imhotep expansion – Eine neue Dynastie coming in October”
Review: Valley of the Kings – Afterlife
I didn’t realize this until just now, but I seem to have a thing for Ancient Egypt. Nothing too untoward, don’t get me wrong. But with my love of the (soon to be reviewed) Imhotep and for Favor of the Pharaoh, and now this… Continue Reading “Review: Valley of the Kings – Afterlife”
Smash Up – Big in Japan coming in August
I saw a post on Boardgame Geek talking about the Big in Japan expansion for the card game Smash Up, and for some reason I thought it was talking about how the game itself is quite big in Japan. I didn’t even realize that’s… Continue Reading “Smash Up – Big in Japan coming in August”
