Review – Scholars of the South Tigris
If you’ve been following this blog for more than a fortnight, then you know that I’m a big fan of many Garphill games, especially those designed by Shem Phillips and S J MacDonald. They seem to be a fan of trilogies, with the North… Continue Reading “Review – Scholars of the South Tigris”
Expansion Review – Paladins of the West Kingdom: City of Crowns
I received the Kickstarter version of Paladins of the West Kingdom: City of Crowns a long time ago, but I was having trouble getting the base game to the table.

September 2023 Gaming
As 2023 steamrolls ahead, another month of gaming is complete! September actually was a slight step back from August, even though I didn’t miss any game days! However, there were fewer days at work where we had lunch free to play. In addition to… Continue Reading “September 2023 Gaming”
Review – Paladins of the West Kingdom

Having reviewed the Architects of the West Kingdom and Viscounts of… Continue Reading “Paladins of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution From Folded Space”
Review – Wayfarers of the South Tigris
There are games that are just complex for the sake of being complex. The rules are really intricate, each phase has like 10 things to do, and everybody spends 10 minutes trying to figure out what to do on their turn. Then there are… Continue Reading “Review – Wayfarers of the South Tigris”
Architects of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution from Folded Space
I’ve already talked about the Viscounts of the West Kingdom storage solution from Folded Space, and how much better it is than the actual Collector’s Edition insert. For some reason, the Garphill Games inserts that came with the Collector’s Editions are just terrible as… Continue Reading “Architects of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution from Folded Space”
Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution from Folded Space
If you’ve read this blog for more than five minutes, then you know that I’m a huge fan of Garphill Games and especially the West Kingdom trilogy of games.

New to Me – March 2023
March was a good month for gaming, with a convention and numerous lunch time plays at work as well as some hefty Sunday game days as well. As noted in my March gaming post, I played 21 games! Seven of them were even new… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2023”
