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”

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”

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”
Inventors of the South Tigris Coming to Kickstarter March 12
(Edit: 3/12/24) – It’s live! Go back it here.

Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#10 – 1)
It’s been a long journey getting to this top 10. Not so much in weeks, as these posts have appeared for 5 weeks just like the previous Top 25 did (or they should have, but I’d forgotten that I took a much too long… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#10 – 1)”
Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#30-21)
When I was first talking about movement on this list between 2022 and 2024, I wasn’t sure how much movement there would be in the Top 10. Those games are still great, shouldn’t they stay up there? Of course, some games might supplant them,… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#30-21)”
