Mr. President – Storage Solution From Rails on Boards

Regular readers of this blog know that I’m a huge fan of the plastic, form-fitting counter trays for wargames offered by Rails on Boards (in their Cube4Me shop). I’ve actually put together a few sets for them to sell on their site, but this… Continue Reading “Mr. President – Storage Solution From Rails on Boards”

Friday Night Shots – Liking Low-Rated Games

Hey there! It’s the weekend again, and I really appreciate you stopping by every week just to chat board games. Or to chat about anything, really. Actually, that’s not totally true, but it is nice to see you! Let me pour you a drink… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Liking Low-Rated Games”
