Blog in Review - 2024 (and love to @thebrdgmschronicle.bsky.social @cliosboardgames.bsky.social @playersaidblog.bsky.social @thing12games.bsky.social @heavycardboard.bsky.social @zillablitz.bsky.social @lampshade124.bsky.social @danthurot.bsky.social)

Happy New Year, everybody! I hope you had a safe and happy New Year’s Eve celebration last night, or at least just spent the changeover with your loved ones. Some of you may even have been asleep! As I did last year and for the five years previous (really, that long?), I wanted to do a bit of a retrospective for my gaming and this blog, letting you now some of the highlights, the stats, and…

Blog in Review - 2023 @dragonflight @terminalcitycon @OrcaCon @gmtgames @strongholdgames

It’s Monday and 2024 is upon us, almost sneaking up on us like a wily coyote hunting a roadrunner. As is my tradition over the past 4 years or so, I wanted to do an update on how this blog, and my gaming, is doing each year. A retrospective of the previous year is a great way to do that! I’m not going to go into a great deal about the year itself, other than to say that if you’re going to be…

Friday Night Shots - Game Length @gmtgames @FFGames @garphillgames @alderac @AMIGOSpiele

(This was supposed to go out last night, but instead it’s going out tonight. Pretend it’s still Friday, ok?) It’s another Friday, and it’s vacation time! Yes, I am off of work for an entire month, not returning until July 31. But since it is Friday, let’s belly up to the bar and talk about another game-related topic that doesn’t require a whole lot of brain power (or coherency). That subject…

November Gaming - Tracked by @BGStatsApp - A surprising month!

November was a good month of gaming, even with missing my final week’s game day and it being harder to get games in at work. Thanks to BG Stats for these images! I’ll of course talk about the “new to me” games in this month’s post (probably next week) but I wanted to touch on some of the highlights of the month. I was amazed that I played 26 different games last month, though a convention and…

October Gaming - Tracked by @BGStatsApp - A great month!

October was a pretty good month for gaming for me, better than September anyway. Thanks to the great BG Stats app for this picture! The five “new to me” games (marked with an asterisk) will be talked about in my monthly post for October, but I just wanted to show you all what I’ve been up to this month. Here are the top 16 out of the 17 played, in picture form! A number of games came from the…

Upcoming Conventions - @SHUXshow @OrcaCon

Since I wasn’t able to get a review done over the weekend, how about a short post about upcoming conventions that I will be attending? I’m really looking forward to convention season coming up again. I’ve really missed it (as can be guessed from my “Stories from Boardgame Conventions” post), as the last convention I went to was Dice Tower West in February 2020, right before all of the COVID…
