New to Me – September 2024
This post has been a bit delayed, for reasons. Some of those reasons were me killing a whole bunch of Greek soldiers in Ancient Egypt in Assassin’s Creed: Origins, which is super-addicting right now. The game, not the killing. I’m fighting for Cleopatra! Or… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2024”
September 2024 Gaming
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 2024 Gaming
It’s hard going back to work after a month off. It’s been a really tiring week, so much so that I will not be posting my “new to me” games post until at least the weekend. But I did want to get my July… Continue Reading “July 2024 Gaming”
Putting Wood on the Biblical Fire
Reading the description of Ezra & Nehemiah when it first hit Kickstarter, I was intrigued. If you read this blog for more than just one or two posts, you know I’m a huge fan of Garphill Games and the games designed by Shem Phillips… Continue Reading “Putting Wood on the Biblical Fire”
Friday Night Shots – Should You Learn a Game Before Trying to Teach It?
Two bar visits in a row? That’s a rarity in 2024! But I’m happy to have you come in to have a drink and talk about some obscure boardgame topic that my mind has come up with. I appreciate you indulging me, and I… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Should You Learn a Game Before Trying to Teach It?”
Friday Night Shots – Reviews vs First Impressions
It’s a Friday night and the rain has stopped! Until overnight, then it’s supposed to rain all weekend. Welcome to Vancouver! Thanks for coming into the bar, even with the Canucks game on. Sorry, I don’t have a TV. Just a jukebox that plays… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Reviews vs First Impressions”
March 2024 Gaming
February was a very slow month for gaming, but that was ok after a really fast January. However, March actually beat January like a rented mule! Ok, actually, there were fewer games played in January, but more plays (because I played a few games… Continue Reading “March 2024 Gaming”
New to Me – March 2024
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”
Review – Shipwrights of the North Sea – Redux
What do you do if you love ships but you’re afraid of being out on the water so you can’t actually go sailing? Especially if you’re a Viking? You get a job building them instead of sailing them! That’s the premise of Shipwrights of… Continue Reading “Review – Shipwrights of the North Sea – Redux”
Friday Night Shots – Friendship Killing Games
It’s another Friday and welcome to the bar! Funny how nobody else seems to be in here, but it is raining out there pretty good. Always happy to have just my friends in the bar with me, hanging out on a Friday night. Who… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Friendship Killing Games”
