New to Me - August 2024

New to Me #boardgames - August 2024 @roxleygames Capstone_Games @firstfishgames @devirgames @JackieFox1976

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 them played. That’s why this post is so late! However, the Cult of the New to Me was not exactly happy, even with so many games played. Why is that? Because the oldest game played was…

Dragonflight 2024 Retrospective

Dragonflight 2024 Retrospective @dragonflight @CatchUpGames @firstfishgames @czechgames @Capstone_Games @devirgames @AllplayHQ

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, I have a Seattle contingent of friends to hang out with, and I even got to meet more of them on the weekend! I pretty much only see…

Review - Speakeasy Blues

Review - Speakeasy Blues @artanagames

There have been a few games published recently about Prohibition and various alcohol-related activites. I fully endorse more of that! *hic* One of the ones that looked really cool but I never pulled the trigger on buying it was Speakeasy Blues. When the pandemic hit and I was looking for stuff to play with my wife, this popped up on one of my boardgame store sites and I took a second look,…

New to me - January 2021

New to me #boardgames - January 2021 - Speakeasy Blues & Legendary Marvel: Noir! @UpperDeckEnt

Ah, 2021. The past year has been dangerous, depressing, disappointing, in some cases despotic, and many other words that begin with “d”. Everybody was so happy to get rid of it, to see it in the rear view mirror, like stopping at a rest stop so you can both go to the bathroom and then you hurry back and drive away while 2020 comes running after you. It’s dead! It’s gone! We won’t have to face…

Boardgame Geek Top 200 - Play or Played - #160-151

Boardgame Geek Top 200 - Play or Played - #160-151 @IBCGames @coolmini_or_not @Hasbro @riograndegames @Boardgame_girl1 @StrongholdGames @Wizards @gmtgames @days_of_wonder @czechgames @FloodgateGames @Boardgame_girl1 (mainly for Tichu)

Another week, another “wow, I haven’t played many games” post. It’s almost like I’m failing as a “gamer”.

Is that possible? Should I really feel bad that I haven’t played a bunch of games?

Maybe, if I’m actually writing about them.

Am I not fulfilling my blogging mandate as far as games posting?

Am I desperate for content because of COVID?

That may certainly be true.

But given…

Sagrada App - Early Access on Steam - First Look

Sagrada App - Early Access on Steam - First Look @FloodgateGames @direwolfdigital

Dire Wolf Digital has a great history of digital games, from the wonderful Raiders of the North Sea (hey, I should probably review that sometime, eh?) to the very good adaptation of Yellow & Yangtze (I’m not a huge fan of the game itself but the digital adaptation is great!). They’ve also done Lotus (something I’ve reviewed!) and Lanterns (another good app I should probably review at some point)
