If you’re a boardgamer and you haven’t heard of Dune: Imperium, what rock have you been hiding under? I know that Boardgame Geek is not the end-all and be-all of board games, the game itself is currently ranked 6th and the new “version” of… Continue Reading “Who the Heck is Ix? – App Expansion Review – Dune Imperium: the Rise of Ix”

Once again in November I was able to attend Bottoscon, the largest wargaming convention in the Pacific Northwest. This year, they managed to get over 150 attendees, which is amazing considering that when they began 18 years ago, they had 32 attendees. The convention… Continue Reading “Bottoscon 2024 Retrospective”

As I mentioned the other day, October as a month really sucked, especially for gaming. Being sick, missing three game days, I was totally surprised that I actually managed to play any new to me games! Much less three. I even managed to placate… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2024”

This post has been a bit delayed, for reasons. Some of those reasons were me killing a whole bunch of Greek soldiers in Ancient Egypt in Assassin’s Creed: Origins, which is super-addicting right now. The game, not the killing. I’m fighting for Cleopatra! Or… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2024”

September was a weird month for gaming, mainly because we didn’t play a lot at work because various people were away (or we just were so exhausted due to work stuff that we just wanted to hibernate at lunch). Thus, most (but not all)… Continue Reading “September 2024 Gaming”

In the 70s, I wonder how many kids wanted to grow up to be rock stars. I wasn’t one of them. While I am a child of the 70s, I wasn’t really listening to much rock music when I was growing up. My parents… Continue Reading “Sex, Candy, and Rock & Roll”

July was not a great month for new to me games, but I had a feeling that August would make up for it, with a convention going on and everything. And it did! August was great for new to me games, with seven of… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2024”

This past weekend was the Dragonflight boardgame convention in Bellevue, Washington. I’ve gone down the last couple of years and used to go down before the pandemic, but this was the first year where most of my Vancouver contingent didn’t go down too. Thankfully,… Continue Reading “Dragonflight 2024 Retrospective”

I knew July would be a bit of an off month for gaming, but it wasn’t too bad. However, it didn’t really hit the “new to me games” jackpot, with only three of them to write about. Funny how it’s still taken me longer… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2024”

After a really full March, where it seemed like I played one game a day (ok, that’s only if you average it out, but still), April was a wasteland for gaming, sadly. Missing two Sundays, not as many games during lunch at work (if… Continue Reading “April 2024 Gaming”
