Welcome back to the bar! I know it’s Saturday. So sue me. It’s been a couple of weeks, but we got flooded last week so I couldn’t open the bar up at all. I saw you looking through the window wondering why the door… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Lunch Time Games”

Tableau-building card games are becoming all the rage. Or maybe they’ve been the rage and I just never noticed? (Editor: “Doesn’t say much for your observational skills, does it?”) One thing I haven’t seen much of, however, are tableau-building games where you are combining… Continue Reading “Two-Steppin’ in the Woods – Forest Shuffle Review”

Once again in November I was able to attend Bottoscon, the largest wargaming convention in the Pacific Northwest. This year, they managed to get over 150 attendees, which is amazing considering that when they began 18 years ago, they had 32 attendees. The convention… Continue Reading “Bottoscon 2024 Retrospective”

As I mentioned the other day, October as a month really sucked, especially for gaming. Being sick, missing three game days, I was totally surprised that I actually managed to play any new to me games! Much less three. I even managed to placate… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2024”

September was a weird month for gaming, mainly because we didn’t play a lot at work because various people were away (or we just were so exhausted due to work stuff that we just wanted to hibernate at lunch). Thus, most (but not all)… Continue Reading “September 2024 Gaming”

July was not a great month for new to me games, but I had a feeling that August would make up for it, with a convention going on and everything. And it did! August was great for new to me games, with seven of… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2024”

Post-apocalyptic games are all the rage, and Radlands is yet another entry into the increasingly-crowded genre. The question becomes, is it worthy of recognition in that genre and beyond? Radlands is a 2-player battling card game designed by Daniel Piechnick with artwork by Delia… Continue Reading “The Apocalypse Will be in Technicolor”

This past weekend was the Dragonflight boardgame convention in Bellevue, Washington. I’ve gone down the last couple of years and used to go down before the pandemic, but this was the first year where most of my Vancouver contingent didn’t go down too. Thankfully,… Continue Reading “Dragonflight 2024 Retrospective”
