March 2025 Gaming
I knew March was going to be a big month for gaming, considering the Terminal City Tabletop Convention weekend. However, I had no idea how big it would be! Last month, I had 20 plays of 14 different games, and I thought it was… Continue Reading “March 2025 Gaming”
Like Sands Through the Hourglass – Sandbag Review
Trick-taking card games are no longer “dime a dozen” examples of games just quickly designed and then thrown out the door to the teeming masses (though really, up until a little while ago, were there teeming masses for trick-taking games?). Now they all involve… Continue Reading “Like Sands Through the Hourglass – Sandbag Review”
Wanna Join the Circus? – Scout Review
Joining circuses can be fun! But who knew the process of joining was just playing a bunch of cards? Do the cards with people’s names and circus skill set represent them being rejected when they are placed on the table? Or are the combinations… Continue Reading “Wanna Join the Circus? – Scout Review”
Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2025
Last weekend was the 10th (maybe 11th?) annual Terminal City Tabletop Convention (though I guess it was interrupted by COVID so not actually 11?). I have to say it was probably the best yet. In previous years, the people running it didn’t do the… Continue Reading “Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2025”
New to Me – February 2025
Welcome to another in the continuing series (8 years and running!) of “new to me” boardgames posts. In a few days, I’ll be celebrating 8 years of blogging, and one of the things I am proud of is that I have never missed a… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2025”
New to Me – January 2025
Another year and another month of new to me games. It’s 2025 now and things are still going strong on the new to me front, with four whole new ones this last month! No first impressions posts this time, though, so I’ll be talking… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2025”
January 2025 Gaming
It’s a new year! And already we’re 1/12 of the way through it. Who would have thought it would go that fast? It’s also a new year of boardgaming, which means everything I played this month is actually unique to 2025! Unless I played… Continue Reading “January 2025 Gaming”
This is a Prince-Free Bash – Rebel Princess Review
I’ve been on a trick-taking tear recently, though that’s not necessarily reflected in my reviews (getting them played is another thing). I have been buying a bunch of them, though. One of them that I’ve actually played enough to review recently is a rather… Continue Reading “This is a Prince-Free Bash – Rebel Princess Review”
Top 10 New to Me Games of 2024
I’ve been writing this blog for almost 8 years now, doing a monthly “new to me” post for just as long (it started in April 2017, but it was about March’s games!), and I often do “best games played” of the year if I’m… Continue Reading “Top 10 New to Me Games of 2024”
New to Me – December 2024
It’s a new year, and coming up on my 8th blog anniversary in March! One thing I forgot to mention in yesterday’s Blog in Review post was the fact that, in those 8 years (or at least since I started, which I think was… Continue Reading “New to Me – December 2024”
