I love game conventions. Not only do they give me even more of an opportunity to play great games, but it gives me the opportunity to game and chat with many people who I don’t see very often. That’s why Bottoscon is one of… Continue Reading “Bottoscon Spring 2025 Retrospective”

As expected after last month’s post, where March had a huge number of games because of a convention, April came back down to earth with a much fewer amount of games. However, it was much better than February! Which means it was a good… Continue Reading “April 2025 Gaming”

Wow, it has been a spell, hasn’t it? With so many new to me games in March, I broke the usual monthly post into two posts, thinking I’d get them done a few days a part. Yeah, I think I got into one of… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2025 – Part 2”

Some expansions for games make huge changes to it, maybe fixing something from the base game or giving new avenues to win the game. Maybe the Mask strategy is really weak and this expansion makes it stronger? Some expansions just add a bit more… Continue Reading “Exploring the Underworld – Faraway: People From Below review”

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”

Aloha! (Saying this for my friend who’s out on a cruise, even though she’s not technically going to Hawaii but somewhere just as warm). You may be wondering. “Dave, why are you wearing socks with sandals?” I would say that you should just keep… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2024”

Yes, I know it’s Saturday. But after a day of having a hole punched in our wall and then another day of long driving (which was great and I picked up a couple of awesome-looking games, but it was long), I wasn’t in the… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – The Shelf of Shame”

It’s Friday, a week before Christmas, and the whiskey is flowing while I read blog posts. Or write them!
