But it must be emphasized! We’re in the middle of a trick-taking renaissance (thanks,… Continue Reading “I Predict That I Will Not Win This Game – Seven Prophecies Review”

May was a very good month for new to me games. I got one of my new games to the table, played a couple that I’ve been dying to play for a while now, and was introduced to a few that I didn’t even… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2025”

While April wasn’t a really full month of games, it was surprisingly full of new to me games! Six new to me games out of the fourteen I played is actually a really good ratio. I love it when months come together like that.… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2025”

As expected after last month’s post, where March had a huge number of games because of a convention, April came back down to earth with a much fewer amount of games. However, it was much better than February! Which means it was a good… Continue Reading “April 2025 Gaming”

Wow, it has been a spell, hasn’t it? With so many new to me games in March, I broke the usual monthly post into two posts, thinking I’d get them done a few days a part. Yeah, I think I got into one of… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2025 – Part 2”

As I mentioned in my March Games played post, I played a lot of games last month. Not only that, but a whole 14 of them were new to me! That means this post would be monstrously long if I tried to pack it… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2025 – Part 1”

Trick-taking card games are no longer “dime a dozen” examples of games just quickly designed and then thrown out the door to the teeming masses (though really, up until a little while ago, were there teeming masses for trick-taking games?).

Last weekend was the 10th (maybe 11th?) annual Terminal City Tabletop Convention (though I guess it was interrupted by COVID so not actually 11?). I have to say it was probably the best yet. In previous years, the people running it didn’t do the… Continue Reading “Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2025”

It’s a new year! And already we’re 1/12 of the way through it. Who would have thought it would go that fast? It’s also a new year of boardgaming, which means everything I played this month is actually unique to 2025! Unless I played… Continue Reading “January 2025 Gaming”
