A Look Back at Most Played and Best New Games of 2018

by Leave a Comment

First up, happy holidays to everyone reading this. I hope this season has been filled with games and gaming.

With 2018 coming to and end I thought this would be a good time to do a look back at the past year. The way the timing works out we will be recording our last podcast of the year on Boxing Day and that episode will release on New Years Day. So I thought this would make for a great discussion topic for that show.
I'm going to be looking at my most played games of 2018. I will follow that up with a list of some of the best new games of 2018 as well as my biggest surprise of 2018. [ READ MORE ]

Extra Life Gaming Marathon and a bit more – Tabletop Gaming Weekly

by 2 Comments

My week started off with a game of Brass Lancashire, but the big news was that Extra Life, a worldwide charity gaming event, was this past weekend.

While I did spend most of Extra Life organizing events, teaching games, running auctions and trying to get people to part with their money I did get in quite a bit of gaming. A total of 11 game plays spread over 8 different games.
We also discussed Extra Life on episode 15 of our tabletop gaming podcast. [ READ MORE ]

Tabletop Gaming Weekly – Sept 10 – #WhatDidYouPlayMondays

by Leave a Comment

Every Monday I take a look back at my last week in gaming. I do this on Monday to be part of Geeky Goodies' #WhatDidYouPlayMonday.

The big thing that happened this past week is that Sean and I attended Queen City Conquest, where we both got in a ton of gaming. In addition, talking about tech in games got me itching to get XCOM off of my pile of shame. Lastly, I'm still playing 7 Wonders and Race for the Galaxy on Board Game Arena. [ READ MORE ]

Tabletop Gaming Weekly – Aug 27 – #WhatDidYouPlayMondays

by Leave a Comment

Every Monday I like to take part in #WhatDidYouPlayMondays, something started by Chris Cormier over at geekygoodies.com. With the launch of this website, I decided to take it a step further and instead of just listing what I played each week on social media I would actually write about each game. This also gives me a chance to talk about any gaming events or other cool things that happened during the week.

I had a great week gaming wise. Two games off the pile of shame: Clank! In! Space! and Lazer Ryderz. Played a few more games on Board Game Arena (Can't Stop, Race for the Galaxy and 7 Wonders) and learned some good news about the platform. Decided to try to get in more plays of games I own that I have only played one time, and to that end played Hardback and Flip City. Attended a game night at The CG Realm and managed to get in a couple more games: Terraforming Mars and Honshu. Like I said, a good week! [ READ MORE ]
