This post took me a lot less time than last month’s did. That’s because there were no conventions in April! Instead of 10+ new to me games, there are only four in this month’s post, but they are all pretty good! The Cult of… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2026”

This is very late, and I am very sorry. Usually I have written my “New to Me Games” post by the end of the first week of the month. But March was such a cornucopia of new games that I just couldn’t do it!… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2026”

It’s time for another century of Boardgame Geek rated games, getting down into the second half of the 2000s and seeing what’s there. This one isn’t quite going to be the bonanza that last time’s was, but there are definitely some good games in… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2501 – 2600”

We’re into a new millennium! Not year-wise, of course. We are sadly still in 2026. But in looking at the Boardgame Geek game rankings, we are now over 2000. Some might say we’re getting into the dregs, where I haven’t played, or even thought… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2001 Through 2100”

January 2026 wasn’t a huge month for new to me games, though the ones I did play were very fun. That may change in February, though, since a friend of mine has bought a few games I’ve never played, so we’ll get some of… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2026”

Last week’s post talking about some of the games just outside of the Top 1000 on Boardgame Geek seemed to be a big hit. Maybe not in terms of visitors to this site, but with friends of mine, sparking some discussion. In the hopes… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1101 Through 1200 – Thoughts”

May was a very good month for new to me games. I got one of my new games to the table, played a couple that I’ve been dying to play for a while now, and was introduced to a few that I didn’t even… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2025”

Last weekend was the 10th (maybe 11th?) annual Terminal City Tabletop Convention (though I guess it was interrupted by COVID so not actually 11?). I have to say it was probably the best yet. In previous years, the people running it didn’t do the… Continue Reading “Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2025”
