New to Me – May 2026

Auztralia - Board with monsters and rails

There were no conventions attended in May, but there was a 14-hour games marathon where a bunch of games were played. So I knew this would be a lengthy post! This month, I actually played more new to me games than I did in… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2026”

I’m Not Talking to You – Games Where You Can’t Communicate

The Game - Hand

Recently I was watching a boardgame Youtube video about the creator’s top 10 things that they don’t like in games (sorry, I don’t remember who it was or I would link to them). One of these “things he avoids” was “limited communication in games.”… Continue Reading “I’m Not Talking to You – Games Where You Can’t Communicate”

BGG Top Games – 3001 – 3100

Sierra West - Played Cards 2

It’s Wednesday, the middle of the week, so how about a middle post about Boardgame Geek rankings? I mentioned last week that I’ll keep doing these until I hit a week where I haven’t played anything. That ain’t this week! I should remind folks… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3001 – 3100”

BGG Top Games – 2301-2400

Harbour

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”

BGG Top Games – 2001 Through 2100

Skara Brae - Tableau and Workers

We’re into a new millennium! Not year-wise, of course. We are sadly still in 2026. But in looking at the Boardgame Geek game rankings, we are now over 2000. Some might say we’re getting into the dregs, where I haven’t played, or even thought… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2001 Through 2100”

BGG Top Games – 1901 Through 2000

Spectacular - Final Board

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve done one of these BGG centuries posts, though not because I was getting tired of them. There were just more important things to post about! I enjoy writing these BGG posts, even when the games are… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1901 Through 2000”

January 2026 Gaming

33 - BG Stats - Jan 2026 - Grid

Hard to believe that we’re already a month into 2026! My, how time flies. I wasn’t sure what to expect from January, especially because we had some really small Sundays and long games played. Which is good! But also means that not a lot… Continue Reading “January 2026 Gaming”

Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2026 Edition (#30-21)

Revive - Technologies

It’s another week and another entry in the Top 50 Games Played of All Time (the 2026 edition!) Of course, this is “games played,” not “games” because at only 587, my number of games played doesn’t even scratch the surface of what’s out there,… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2026 Edition (#30-21)”

Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2026 Edition (#50-41)

Molly House - Party

Two years goes by so fast. Hell, even a month goes by so fast, as I remember looking forward to all of the holiday fun and time off in December, and now it’s January and where did the time go? However, it has been… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2026 Edition (#50-41)”

BGG Top Games – 1401 Through 1500

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”
