Posted on December 30, 2019 by whovian223
Everybody likes exploring ancient tombs and seeing what the artifacts there may tell us about our ancient ancestors. Right? We all have an inner Indiana Jones inside us, striving to get out. Or maybe it’s just me? Anyway, with the 2019 game Nagaraja from… Continue Reading “Review – Nagaraja”

New to Me – October 2019
Posted on October 31, 2019 by whovian223
October was SHUX month. SHUX is a 3-day boardgame convention in Vancouver that was simply phenomenal. I had so much fun, and would have had even more fun if I hadn’t felt so terrible. Maybe next year! You know what conventions mean, right? No,… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2019”

New to Me – June 2019
Posted on July 1, 2019 by whovian223
June was a very slow month for new to me games. Only two! And one expansion. Man, were they great ones, though. The expansion is to my favourite game of all time (at least for now) and I got another COIN game in! I… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2019”

Posted on March 8, 2019 by whovian223
Yesterday, one of the best boardgame apps ever made finally appeared on Steam after a long period on iOS/Android. Galaxy Trucker, by Czech Games Edition, is a game that doesn’t really seem like it would be a good fit on digital. It’s a real-time… Continue Reading “Galaxy Trucker Ships Out to Steam”
