I love playing games that are new, even more when they’re older but still new to me! You know what I love even more? Having reviewed a bunch of them already so I don’t have to try and condense a description of them for… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2025”

May seemed like a really dead month for gaming. Hell, we missed out on two Sunday game days (Mother’s Day and a marathon the week before) so I thought it was going to be almost as bad as April. When I looked at my… Continue Reading “May 2024 Gaming”

It’s a few days after another great convention experience, so let’s talk a little bit about Terminal City Tabletop Convention – 2024.

December was a curtailed month for games. The last game I played was on December 13 (or December 16 if you count my Combat Commander ladder game I played on a Friday night). Between a Sunday Funday being snowed out, Christmas falling on a… Continue Reading “New to Me – December 2022”

Welcome to the first of what could be a series of posts, or might just be a one-shot. Basically, it’s Friday night, I’ve had a couple of drinks, and maybe it’s time to visit a pressing issue in the boardgame industry. Or maybe I… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Score Sheets for Games”

Sometimes for dinner you just want a big, juicy steak grilled to perfection with a mashed potato, something that you can savor for a long time while you’re enjoying good company and a glass of wine. And sometimes you just want a few White… Continue Reading “Review – Fantasy Realms”

July was vacation month. I was off the entire month and was away from my normal game group for half of the month. Thus, it’s not surprising that I only played two “new to me” games in July. But tell that to the rabble… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2019”

April was an interesting month for the Cult of the New to Me. First, we had our new member initiation, but nobody came (oops!). (Editor: Doesn’t help that you gave them the wrong date) Then I took a look at the new to me… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2018”
