March 2026 Gaming
After a rather lackluster February gaming month, I knew March was going to be pretty huge. Not only was it the great Terminal City Tabletop Convention, but it also captured one day of Bottoscon Winter. It would have been even larger if we hadn’t… Continue Reading “March 2026 Gaming”
BGG Top Games – 2301-2400
Each week when I do these BGG Top Games posts, I comment about how things are getting a little thin down here in the 2000s. It’s like you’re scuba diving and suddenly your air tank is reading as near empty and you don’t know… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2301-2400”
Cuddle Bears of Death – Final Girl – Bad Times at Buddyland Review
Many of us have been to those amusement places like Chuck E. Cheese or Showbiz Pizza (that’s what they were called when I was a kid), where you have your video games, you have your dining areas where rambunctious kids are running around, throwing… Continue Reading “Cuddle Bears of Death – Final Girl – Bad Times at Buddyland Review”
Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2026
Has it been a year already since last year’s Terminal City convention? Why yes, yes it has. This year’s event was still down at the Vancouver Convention Centre on the waterfront, but it changed buildings to a much larger room. This convention-goer approves of… Continue Reading “Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2026”
BGG Top Games – 2101 – 2200
It’s been a short hiatus for these posts since I’ve had end of month stuff to do, but after a couple of weeks, we are back! Once again we are going through a century of games rated on Boardgame Geek, from 2101 to 2200.… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2101 – 2200”
New to Me – February 2026
February was a slow month for new to me games, even with two days of a three-day convention. Of course, fighting illness off and then actually not playing anything new for the February days of that convention would have something to do with that.… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2026”
Bottoscon Winter 2026 Retrospective
Rob Bottos is a great guy. Not only is he kind and really interesting to talk to, but he also looks after his fellow gamers. He’s run the regular Bottoscon in New Westminster since 2007 (with one year’s break due to COVID) and it’s… Continue Reading “Bottoscon Winter 2026 Retrospective”
So Many Birds! – Final Girl – Terror From Above Review
I’ve never seen the classic Hitchcock thriller, The Birds, but I’m very familiar with the trope! Some birds are just creepy. They sit and watch you. Crows can recognize you, which can be good or bad depending on whether you’re a good person or… Continue Reading “So Many Birds! – Final Girl – Terror From Above Review”
BGG Top Games – 2001 Through 2100
We’re into a new millennium! Not year-wise, of course. We are sadly still in 2026. But in looking at the Boardgame Geek game rankings, we are now over 2000. Some might say we’re getting into the dregs, where I haven’t played, or even thought… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2001 Through 2100”
Kids’ Play Time Can Be Weird – Fort Review
Boardgames have had many themes, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game where the theme is the rise and fall of friendships when you were a kid. Not to mention playing around the neighbourhood, building a tree fort, and just passing the… Continue Reading “Kids’ Play Time Can Be Weird – Fort Review”
