It’s time for another century of Boardgame Geek rated games, getting down into the second half of the 2000s and seeing what’s there. This one isn’t quite going to be the bonanza that last time’s was, but there are definitely some good games in… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2501 – 2600”

Each week when I do these BGG Top Games posts, I comment about how things are getting a little thin down here in the 2000s. It’s like you’re scuba diving and suddenly your air tank is reading as near empty and you don’t know… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2301-2400”

I knew July would be a bit of an off month for gaming, but it wasn’t too bad. However, it didn’t really hit the “new to me games” jackpot, with only three of them to write about. Funny how it’s still taken me longer… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2024”

Hey there! It’s the weekend again, and I really appreciate you stopping by every week just to chat board games. Or to chat about anything, really. Actually, that’s not totally true, but it is nice to see you! Let me pour you a drink… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Liking Low-Rated Games”

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”

Whew! I’m finally awake again after finishing last week’s Part 1 of my “New to Me Games – January” post. That really took a lot out of me. It’s been a week and I’m just now recovering! Excuse me while I hop on my… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2020 (Part 2)”

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”
