After a week where I literally had not played any of the games in the Boardgame Geek century I was talking about, this week is going to be huge! Well, maybe not huge, but we’re back to at least a few. That will probably… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4601-4700”

Some of these “top BGG Games” posts are a little lean on games that I’ve played, though I really enjoy that because we can then spend more time talking about games that it would be cool to play! If there are any in that… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3701 – 3800”

June wasn’t as big of a month for new to me games, which makes sense because even the convention I attended only had two. Bottoscons tend to have us play older games for the most part, though not always. Combine that with, as I… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2026”

May was a busy month! I mean, not March busy, but definitely better than April busy. There was a 14-hour boardgame marathon where I ended up playing 8 games a total of 14 times. Just in one day! Then a couple of Sundays had… Continue Reading “May 2026 Gaming”

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve done one of these BGG centuries posts, though not because I was getting tired of them. There were just more important things to post about! I enjoy writing these BGG posts, even when the games are… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1901 Through 2000”

May seemed like a really dead month for gaming. Hell, we missed out on two Sunday game days (Mother’s Day and a marathon the week before) so I thought it was going to be almost as bad as April. When I looked at my… Continue Reading “May 2024 Gaming”

Hey there! It’s another Friday night! Thanks for braving the crowd. I made a space here at the bar for you. Yes, I was joking. You are the only one here. For now, anyway! Have a drink. Whatever you like. Let me turn down… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Playing Low-Rated Games”

It’s Friday again! That was fast (that could be because I’m not writing this on Friday, since I’m actually out playing games tonight!) Grab a seat, and I hope you don’t mind the Delerium playing on the speakers. The volume’s not high. Can I… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – One And Done Games”

It’s now March and the Cult of the New to Me is getting restless. We’re now close to a year since lockdowns and social distancing became a thing rather than some abstract concept. This past weekend, a year ago, I was coming home from… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2021”

This post has been a long time coming. Sorry about that. Life has a way of getting away from you sometimes, doesn’t it? Especially in these chaotic times. I swear that 2020 has been…well, let’s say “challenging.” However, I have made promises to people… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 200 – Play or Played – 180-171”
