December turned out to be a gaming lost cause for the most part. Two Sundays cancelled for various reasons, one shortened one, and a bunch of work stuff going on so lunches weren’t always available as well. In fact, if it wasn’t for my… Continue Reading “December 2025 Gaming”

I really like how successful these posts have been! There has been some true engagement as people have gone through the lists and talked about their own experiences with them. I know the last post was Sunday, but let’s get back onto that weekly… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1401 Through 1500”

I knew that November was going to be huge for New to Me games, but I didn’t realize just how huge! Between a convention (which, surprisingly enough, I didn’t play many new to me games at until the day Abi showed up) and multiple… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2025”

It’s time for another “first impressions” post about a game that I’ve just played for the first time but which I may not play enough to eventually review. Or maybe it’s just new enough that I want to get my impressions out there and… Continue Reading “First Impressions – Sanctuary”

I knew November would be much better than October for my gaming, because there’s a really nice 4-day convention in November. I didn’t expect that it would be this much better, though! In November, I managed to play 36 games a total of 57… Continue Reading “November 2025 Gaming”

Last week’s post talking about some of the games just outside of the Top 1000 on Boardgame Geek seemed to be a big hit. Maybe not in terms of visitors to this site, but with friends of mine, sparking some discussion. In the hopes… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1101 Through 1200 – Thoughts”

Recently the “This Game is Broken” podcast did a “Higher or Lower” game based on games in the Boardgame Geek rankings from 1000 to 2000. (You should really check them out, by the way. Hilarious boardgame podcast) During the Covid lockdowns, in order to… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1000 Through 1100 – Thoughts”
