Regular readers of this blog know that I’m a big fan of Folded Space inserts because they just make organizing and playing games so much easier. No emptying of baggies, and then wondering which baggy each thing should go in when you’re putting stuff… Continue Reading “Rock Hard 1977 – Storage Solution from Folded Space”

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”

I’m a pretty big fan of push your luck games. Hell, I play tons of games of Can’t Stop on Boardgame Arena, even though it’s not an awesome asynchronous game. I just can’t get enough with pushing my luck! I’m also a bibliophile. I… Continue Reading “Review – Fire in the Library”

Another year, another OrcaCon has passed. I first went to OrcaCon in 2020, but then some world-wide event that I can’t seem to remember stopped me from going again until last year. I wish it would come to me. Anyway, this last weekend was… Continue Reading “OrcaCon 2024 Retrospective”

(Edit: 6/6/23: It’s live!) It’s rare when I see a “by a bunch of stuff in one bundle” offer come up where I want most of it, so it makes it worth actually taking a look at. That’s changed with the latest announcement from… Continue Reading “4 New Expansions from Alderac Entertainment Group Coming to Kickstarter June 6”

November was an interesting month for boardgaming. I went to my second convention this year, a relatively small (compared to SHUX, anyway!) local wargaming convention where I was finally able to get a bit of wargaming done! Considering how many wargames I now have,… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2022”
