Wow, I’m lazy. Either that, or I’ve been in a bad mental space. You know, 2021 was supposed to be better, but so far it’s barely been marginally better and that’s only because 2020 sucked so much. I finished the Top 200 BGG games… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 300 – Play or Played – #300-291”

It’s that time of week again. The sun’s out (kind of, though it’s supposed to rain by the time this actually posts) and we’re into Summer. Yet the temperature’s in the 60s in Vancouver and I’m really enjoying it. I don’t need it to… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 100 – Played or Play? #30-21”

It’s no secret that I’ve been in a bit of blog doldrums over the last couple of weeks. The social isolation and not playing many games (none until last weekend, actually) except the apps that I do asynchronously, plus getting really busy at work… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 100 – Played or Play? 100-91”

You know what? I rock. Yes, I do. Not only did I manage to get five new to me games played in April when I only was able to play eight in total, but two of those five games are more than ten years… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2019”

I’ve always been an explorer at heart, ready to ride the waves and discover new adventures, new lands, maybe meet a few new people. (Editor – Reading all of your reviews, you’ve had a lot of unfulfilled ambitions) While I was never able to… Continue Reading “Review – Embark”

February didn’t feel like it was going to be a good month for new to me games, mainly because I was horribly ill during one weekend and missed a game day. Thankfully, the other days had a good variety of new games as well… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2019”

Damn, I hate colds. Colds that work their way into your head and then just sit there, clogging up your sinuses until your head feels bigger than when you get a compliment from somebody you really admire. But not in a good way. The… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2019”

It’s December! And too many days into December for my New to Me Games post for November, so my apologies. I do have a good reason, though. The Cult of the New to Me was having a fundraiser, but unfortunately it didn’t go well.… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2018”
