Friday Night Shots – Disliking Popular Games
As the rain continues to fall here in Vancouver (though at the time of writing, it’s actually not at the moment!), it’s incredibly nice of you to come visit and spend a little time at the bar catching up and discussing board games with… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Disliking Popular Games”
Friday Night Shots – How Much Luck is Too Much Luck?
It’s another Friday night and you’ve chosen to spend a few minutes with me. I love that! Thank you. Ok, it could be Saturday morning when you’re reading this, or it could be December 22, 2025. Who knows? Pull up a chair in front… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – How Much Luck is Too Much Luck?”
Friday Night Shots – Player Interaction
Good evening! Welcome back for another week. I’m so happy you could join me. Truth to tell, it gets a little lonely behind the bar in this place, even on a Friday night. Maybe I should actually unlock the doors so people could come… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Player Interaction”

Mobile Terra Mystica is Out – First Impressions
Last Thursday, Terra Mystica hit our mobile screens, right on schedule. It’s a great-looking app. Digidiced should be proud. I’m not going to go into the rules or how the game itself plays, however, as it would take way too long and probably wouldn’t… Continue Reading “Mobile Terra Mystica is Out – First Impressions”
Terra Mystica App Magically Appearing on Apr 20
The two times I’ve sat down to play the game Terra Mystica, I’ve bounced off of it pretty hard. It’s a complex game with a lot of different moving parts that tie up your brain like getting wrapped up in a huge blanket and… Continue Reading “Terra Mystica App Magically Appearing on Apr 20”
