New to Me – October 2024
As I mentioned the other day, October as a month really sucked, especially for gaming. Being sick, missing three game days, I was totally surprised that I actually managed to play any new to me games! Much less three. I even managed to placate… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2024”
New to Me – August 2024
July was not a great month for new to me games, but I had a feeling that August would make up for it, with a convention going on and everything. And it did! August was great for new to me games, with seven of… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2024”
Dragonflight 2024 Retrospective
This past weekend was the Dragonflight boardgame convention in Bellevue, Washington. I’ve gone down the last couple of years and used to go down before the pandemic, but this was the first year where most of my Vancouver contingent didn’t go down too. Thankfully,… Continue Reading “Dragonflight 2024 Retrospective”
Evolving to the End of the World
There’s something to be said for cute, family-weight games. Sure, they aren’t always super-exciting, exercising your brain in the way that may keep it active until you’re 100 like some of the heavier games might. But they’re cute! Doomlings is definitely the cute, family-weight… Continue Reading “Evolving to the End of the World”
Review – Furnace

April 2024 Gaming
After a really full March, where it seemed like I played one game a day (ok, that’s only if you average it out, but still), April was a wasteland for gaming, sadly. Missing two Sundays, not as many games during lunch at work (if… Continue Reading “April 2024 Gaming”
Review – Villages of Valeria
There’s a certain attraction to families of games out there, though it’s funny how there aren’t as many as you would think there are. When I say “families,” I’m speaking of games that are based in the same universe, though the mechanics and style… Continue Reading “Review – Villages of Valeria”
Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2024
It’s a few days after another great convention experience, so let’s talk a little bit about Terminal City Tabletop Convention – 2024. This year, it was held at the Vancouver Convention Centre which is right on the water in downtown Vancouver. It’s a beautiful… Continue Reading “Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2024”
Review – Underwater Cities
It would be cool to live on the ocean. Beachfront property, your back door opening right onto the beach, listening from your balcony to the ocean waves crash on the shore, watching the lightning from a storm out over the water. That would be… Continue Reading “Review – Underwater Cities”
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)”
