Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2026 Edition (#30-21)
It’s another week and another entry in the Top 50 Games Played of All Time (the 2026 edition!) Of course, this is “games played,” not “games” because at only 587, my number of games played doesn’t even scratch the surface of what’s out there,… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2026 Edition (#30-21)”
Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2026 Edition (#40-31)
This year’s second installment of the Top 50 games played of all time and it’s the second on two weeks! I’m on a roll. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep up the weekly basis for this so I can be done in early February.… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2026 Edition (#40-31)”
BGG Top Games – 1601 Through 1700
Another break in the weekly schedule, but that’s because of New Years, a new month, some end of the year stuff, and all of that. I hope your new 2026 year has been treating you well so far! We’re back with another century of… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1601 Through 1700”
Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2026 Edition (#50-41)
Two years goes by so fast. Hell, even a month goes by so fast, as I remember looking forward to all of the holiday fun and time off in December, and now it’s January and where did the time go? However, it has been… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2026 Edition (#50-41)”
BGG Top Games – 1501 Through 1600
Sorry for breaking the weekly schedule, those of you who have been following these posts so religiously (hi, Bob!) Last week had other important posts to do that didn’t take quite as much time, because these posts do take a lot of effort and… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1501 Through 1600”
Living on the Edge – Forest Shuffle – Woodland Edge Expansion Review
I want to say that the Alpine expansion for Forest Shuffle was the first one, but I’m not 100% sure. That one (as I mentioned in my review) helped by adding a few different cards that mitigated some other favoured strategies in the base… Continue Reading “Living on the Edge – Forest Shuffle – Woodland Edge Expansion Review”
Finding a Stranger in the Alps – Forest Shuffle – Alpine Expansion Review
(100,000 bonus points for anybody who gets the (kind of) movie reference in the title) I’ve been a fan of Forest Shuffle for quite a while, as you can tell from reading my review. This wonderful tableau-building game never really gets old and plays… Continue Reading “Finding a Stranger in the Alps – Forest Shuffle – Alpine Expansion Review”
Have Fun Storming the Castle! – Castle Combo Review
One of the really common things about our Sunday game days, unless we are playing a couple of really deep games that take too much time, is to have 30-45 minutes left after the main game and then trying to decide if we should… Continue Reading “Have Fun Storming the Castle! – Castle Combo Review”
Digital Animals! – Ark Nova App Review
This is kind of a first for Dude Take Your Turn. Which is weird, because after 8 years, you’d think there wouldn’t be an opportunity for a first! In this case, I’m doing a review of a boardgame app where I’ve already reviewed the… Continue Reading “Digital Animals! – Ark Nova App Review”
Winging Your Way Through Asian Skies – Wingspan – Asia Expansion App Review
Do you think Monster Couch is now satisfied? They are the developer of the app version of the very well-regarded tableau-building card game, Wingspan. They have now released the final available expansion for Wingspan, Wingspan Asia, so they are caught up with the board… Continue Reading “Winging Your Way Through Asian Skies – Wingspan – Asia Expansion App Review”
