While April wasn’t a really full month of games, it was surprisingly full of new to me games! Six new to me games out of the fourteen I played is actually a really good ratio. I love it when months come together like that.… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2025”

Food Chain Magnate is not a game that I’ve ever really been able to get into, mainly because it appears to be long and pretty vicious. It’s a Splotter game, and I’ve never actually played one of their games before. I want to! But… Continue Reading “Food Chain Magnate: Special Edition Coming to Gamefound November 14”

It was a close one this week. Yes, I almost didn’t get this post done so that it would post this week at all. That would break my streak and we know that we can’t have that. But here it is! We’re three episodes… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 300 – Play or Played – #230-221”

Three weeks. Yes, that’s three weeks. Three weeks in a row where I’ve done an entry for the Top 300 games on BGG! Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? I know, right? I don’t believe it either! Anyway, this is the… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 300 – Play or Played – #240 – 231”
