Inventors of the South Tigris Coming to Kickstarter March 12

(Edit: 3/12/24) – It’s live! Go back it here. In my sick doldrums last week, I missed the announcement from Garphill Games that the next (and final) entry in the South Tigris trilogy of games, Inventors of the South Tigris, is coming to Kickstarter… Continue Reading “Inventors of the South Tigris Coming to Kickstarter March 12”

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)”

Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#40-31)

Two weeks and two entries into this list. Maybe I’ll be able to actually do this weekly, unlike in 2022! It was interesting doing a Top 50 rather than a Top 25. Some games have fallen enough that they wouldn’t even be listed if… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#40-31)”

New to Me – December 2023

It’s a new year, but let’s take one last look at the old year before we continue on! December was not a huge month for new to me games, as I detailed earlier. But quality trumps quantity, so even though there are only three… Continue Reading “New to Me – December 2023”

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. There was no way I was going to get the expansion out without playing… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Paladins of the West Kingdom: City of Crowns”

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

This review has been a long time coming. I first played Paladins of the West Kingdom back in 2019, and actually had played it three times by January 2020 (for most games, especially longer, more complicated games, I want to play a game at… Continue Reading “Review – Paladins of the West Kingdom”

Paladins of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution From Folded Space

And now we’re three for three. When Folded Space was offering a bundle deal for storage solutions for the Collector’s Edition boxes of all three West Kingdom games, I jumped at the chance. Having reviewed the Architects of the West Kingdom and Viscounts of… Continue Reading “Paladins of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution From Folded Space”
