BGG Top Games – 3101 – 3200
It’s been over a week since the last Boardgame Geek century post, but last week was pretty full and I didn’t want to oversaturate the market. I didn’t want my readers to be overwhelmed with awesomness. But we’re back now, looking at another century… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3101 – 3200”
May 2026 Gaming
May was a busy month! I mean, not March busy, but definitely better than April busy. There was a 14-hour boardgame marathon where I ended up playing 8 games a total of 14 times. Just in one day! Then a couple of Sundays had… Continue Reading “May 2026 Gaming”
New to Me – May 2026
There were no conventions attended in May, but there was a 14-hour games marathon where a bunch of games were played. So I knew this would be a lengthy post! This month, I actually played more new to me games than I did in… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2026”
Skipping Through the Moors – Forest Shuffle: Dartmoor Review
It’s always interesting when good games are reimplemented. Will the new one keep the same quality or charm as the previous game? Will it make it better? Is it being designed to correct mistakes from the original? You get that with games like Dune… Continue Reading “Skipping Through the Moors – Forest Shuffle: Dartmoor Review”
I’m Not Talking to You – Games Where You Can’t Communicate
Recently I was watching a boardgame Youtube video about the creator’s top 10 things that they don’t like in games (sorry, I don’t remember who it was or I would link to them). One of these “things he avoids” was “limited communication in games.”… Continue Reading “I’m Not Talking to You – Games Where You Can’t Communicate”
BGG Top Games – 3001 – 3100
It’s Wednesday, the middle of the week, so how about a middle post about Boardgame Geek rankings? I mentioned last week that I’ll keep doing these until I hit a week where I haven’t played anything. That ain’t this week! I should remind folks… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3001 – 3100”
The Silent Cockpit – Sky Team Review
One of the more recent tropes in cooperative games is the idea that players can’t talk to each other. This removes the alpha gamer issue and also can make the game more interesting. Sometimes, thematically, it makes no sense, but you can’t have everything.… Continue Reading “The Silent Cockpit – Sky Team Review”
Violent Conventions – Final Girl – Shriek Review
One of the cool things about how the whole Final Girl franchise (from Van Ryder Games) has come about is that each group of feature films is tied into a series, with the occasional vignette or special feature. That appears to be coming to… Continue Reading “Violent Conventions – Final Girl – Shriek Review”
BGG Top Games – 2901-3000
It’s another week, and another century of ranked boardgames from the Boardgame Geek rankings. I figure I’m going to keep doing this until I run into a century where I have literally played none of the games (even then, if there’s something interesting in… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2901-3000”
It’s All Greek to Me – Fantasy Realms: Greek Legends Review
It’s amazing how many times a company can go to the same well, bringing up a game with all of the same mechanics and some slight variations in how those mechanics are executed, and still come up with a fun game that (maybe) surpasses… Continue Reading “It’s All Greek to Me – Fantasy Realms: Greek Legends Review”
