He Just Keeps Coming – Final Girl (and Happy Trail Horrors) Review
I’ve never been a fan of horror films. They’re inherently silly and, yes, kinda scary at the same time. I’m not big on feeling fear at the movies and jump scares just annoy me (and startle me, yes). For some reason, though, horror tropes… Continue Reading “He Just Keeps Coming – Final Girl (and Happy Trail Horrors) Review”
Friday Night Shots – Game Moments That Make You Go “Wow”
I know you keep walking by this bar every Friday night and are constantly amazed when you see the big neon “Open” sign. Especially given my history the last few months.

I’m back to trying to make my games a bit easier to unpack and pack up again, after a short hiatus. The trays from Cube4Me really make that so much easier! Today’s storage solution is for the solo World War II game, Halls of… Continue Reading “Halls of Hegra – Storage Solution With Rails on Boards”
New to Me – September 2023
September was a fairly lean month for gaming, especially new to me games. I’ve already talked about my September gaming in general, so how about the monthly chat about “new to me” games? I’m actually quite proud of the fact that this is my… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2023”
Review – Skies Above Britain
Solo air war games are pretty common out there in the wargaming field. Of course, one of my favourites (though my sample size is admittedly pretty small) is the great Storm Above the Reich, designed by Jerry White and published by GMT Games. But… Continue Reading “Review – Skies Above Britain”
Terraforming Mars – Automa Coming to Kickstarter Soon(ish)
Exciting news yesterday! (I would have posted it yesterday, but too many posts for a Friday already). Even though Terraforming Mars: Prelude 2 has not even seen a hint of Kickstarter yet (maybe later in the Summer is the last I heard), they’ve already… Continue Reading “Terraforming Mars – Automa Coming to Kickstarter Soon(ish)”
