Friday Night Shots – The Art of the Pass
Last week, I talked about people intentionally breaking a game by doing something that doesn’t change the game state. In the post, I referenced everybody in a game of Terraforming Mars just passing as their first action, which doesn’t do anything to make the… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – The Art of the Pass”
Friday Night Shots – Breaking a Game Intentionally – Why?
It’s weird what you can find on the Boardgame Geek forums sometimes. Usually it’s rules questions or reviews or comments about a game in a game’s forum on the site. Many times, those rules questions would be quickly answered if they’d either do a… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Breaking a Game Intentionally – Why?”
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)”

That… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Games & Changed Opinions”
Friday Night Shots – How Important is Art?
Has it been five weeks yet? No, it hasn’t! Welcome back to the bar, only a week later. You must have seen the lights on in the window, or maybe the fire that’s in the corner. We should probably put that out. Anyway, it’s… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – How Important is Art?”

Friday Night Shots – Boardgame Arena
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “Dave, you really shouldn’t wear green because it really makes you look hideous.” And I would agree with that! You’re also thinking “Dave, what’s this? Two Friday Night Shots posts in a row? What’s gotten into you?”… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Boardgame Arena”
Bottoscon 2024 Retrospective
Once again in November I was able to attend Bottoscon, the largest wargaming convention in the Pacific Northwest. This year, they managed to get over 150 attendees, which is amazing considering that when they began 18 years ago, they had 32 attendees. The convention… Continue Reading “Bottoscon 2024 Retrospective”
August 2024 Gaming
It’s funny how sometimes month end can sneak up on you. I was going to hold off on writing this post for a bit, until the weekend. Then I realized that my next game day is actually in September! Who would’ve thunk that? Not… Continue Reading “August 2024 Gaming”
