Friday Night Shots - The Shelf of Shame

Friday Night Shots - The Shelf of Shame @gmtgames @Pandasaurusgame @HBuchanan2 @Volko26

Yes, I know it’s Saturday. But after a day of having a hole punched in our wall and then another day of long driving (which was great and I picked up a couple of awesome-looking games, but it was long), I wasn’t in the mood to write anything last night. The rum flowed better tonight, though this is still going to be a fairly short post compared to some of mine. So welcome back to the bar!…

Top 25 Games Played of All Time - 2022 Edition (25-21)

Top 25 #boardgames Played of All-Time (2022 Edition) @PlayRenegade @garphillgames @gmtgames @FFGames @Psycorey @valens116 @strongholdgames

With the close of the year 2021, I have actually played 422 games since I really started playing boardgames in 2012. Since my “Top 25 Games Played of All Time” series in 2019 was predicated on my having played almost 300 games, I thought that 2022 would be a good time to update that list. I’ve played over 100 new to me games since January 2019! Thus, here is the first entry in the 2022 version…

November 2021 Monthly Update From GMT Games

The November @gmtgames Monthly Update - My thoughts.

They’re still just interviews right now (or they were, until they posted something non-interviewish this morning after I had written all of this last night!) so I’m going to continue doing a GMT Games update based on their monthly email. I’ll be doing that until I’m assured that Grant and Alexander are back to posting to the blog…

Finnish Civil War...Save this game from its MAP Join the movement!

Finnish Civil War…Save this game from its MAP Join the movement!

Well. Its rare to say this or to do this, but alas an intervention may be required… It seems a rogue artist has demolished a game. Demolished I say. So completely, so thoroughly, so absolutely that there is no redemption. None. This game will never be know save for its cringe worthy art. [Is this a clever ploy by Compass Games marketing to try and steal the crown for worst map ever? Notoriety has…
