Catching Up on Games (12/16/23)

Recently, we had a chance to meet up and play games several days in one week. As the end of the year draws closer and we’ve been readying to redo our top 100s, I’ve also been trying to get in more solo games. So, here’s what I’ve been playing lately! 2023 Top 100 coming soon!Continue reading “Catching Up on Games (12/16/23)”

Other Releases

This is a quick update to highlight that I’ve added a new section to the site for other releases (found under the Releases tab). These are for extra things like the content I’ve made for Runebound (which needs to be uploaded) and other games, or anything I make that doesn’t quite fit in another categoryContinue reading “Other Releases”

Runebound 2nd Edition: Sands of Al-Kalim

As seen in last year’s Top 100, Runebound is one of my favorite games and has been since it hooked me into the hobby some 13 years ago. I’m actually lucky I got into the hobby when I did. Had I missed out on Runebound, it would have been my grail game for many years.Continue reading “Runebound 2nd Edition: Sands of Al-Kalim”

Catching up on Games (11/1/23)

We had some good weekends of getting games played, including a bunch of new ones (some just new to us). Vindication + Chronicles I love Vindication. Chronicles adds a lot of narrative to the game to make it more immersive. This is a double-edged sword. Adding story is great, and there are some neat waysContinue reading “Catching up on Games (11/1/23)”

Board Game Review: Knarr

9/10 A spectacular and speedy set-collection game Update: 10/10 In Knarr, you will run a crew of Vikings and explore and settle lands while recruiting new Vikings to your crew. Don’t get too excited, there’s not a lot of theme here. It’s a simple set-collection card game where you can cash in your sets ofContinue reading “Board Game Review: Knarr”

Legend of the Five Rings solo & Collection Update

It was finally time to bring this back out. My collection has grown again (by a little), but I wanted to play my Unicorn deck before changing things up. I already played the Phoenix deck last time (here). I also bought some matte sleeves to use so there’s less glare than the other sleeves, butContinue reading “Legend of the Five Rings solo & Collection Update”

Catching up on Games (8/27/23)

Recently, I was in the mood to get some solo games to the table, so there’s more here than I would normally have for 1 month. Anno 1800 I had to get this back to the table after that first play. Such a clean, crunchy design. This time, it was a 3-player game, so weContinue reading “Catching up on Games (8/27/23)”

Catching up on Games (7/30/23)

I had been holding out on another one of these until I had played enough of League of Dungeoneers, but that isn’t likely to happen soon. So, here’s what I played since last time. It’s not as much as I expected, but a lot of stuff slowed down our gaming the past few months. WeContinue reading “Catching up on Games (7/30/23)”

Winds of the North v0.9 Release!

It’s finally here! And while the expanded combat rules are probably the biggest change, there are some other important quality-of-life and balance changes.
