October was another month of decent gaming. I was worried that it was going to be a slow month, even though we did get a Sunday game day every week this month. But I shouldn’t have been concerned, as the last Sunday brought me… Continue Reading “October 2023 Gaming”

Good evening! Welcome back for another week. I’m so happy you could join me. Truth to tell, it gets a little lonely behind the bar in this place, even on a Friday night. Maybe I should actually unlock the doors so people could come… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Player Interaction”

Another week, another “wow, I haven’t played many games” post. It’s almost like I’m failing as a “gamer”. Is that possible? Should I really feel bad that I haven’t played a bunch of games? Maybe, if I’m actually writing about them. Am I not… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 200 – Play or Played – #160-151”

(Edit 3/31/20) – Sagrada is now out on full release, iOS & Android! It’s $9.99 CDN for me, so maybe $7.99 US? Not sure. It requires you to be in Portrait mode, which I guess makes sense. Here’s hoping that notifications work on the mobile… Continue Reading “Sagrada App – Early Access on Steam – First Look”

I’m tired. It’s been a busy month of playing new games! So I’ve definitely enjoyed it. But I’m tired. If I hadn’t been writing this post as I played the games, I’m not sure if it would have come out. This is a long one.… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2018”
