I love Trickerion so much that I purchased a wooden insert from Meeple Realty while I was at BGG ConĀ in November. I just got around to building it. I actually started two weeks ago and realized that the set I had purchased was missing wooden sheets. I emailed the Meeple Realty folks, and they quickly …
If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you’ve noticed that I’ve been playing a lot of games recently, more so thanĀ usual. I think it’s been a way of decompressing from all the awfulness that’s happening outside in the real world. When your job requires you to stay informed with all the insanity that’s happening …
It’s been a depressing few months, and it’ll be even more depressing come Friday, but, hey, at least we can escape from the harsh reality ofĀ real life by playing board games, right? Ā So … let’s all go back in time to 1960 to a very different presidential race that came down to Richard Nixon vs. …
Happy New Year, people of the Internet! I can still say that, right, even though it’s Jan. 11? I’ve been meaning to do this post for the past week or so, but life gets in the way ā as well as board gaming. I just wanted to take a minute to celebrate hitting 1,200 followers …

Ā I’ve had the base game Russian Railroads for a few years, and while I always enjoy playing it, the game’s winner, for the most part, is determined by who advances the most on the Trans-Siberian railroad. …
Guys, I’m totally having BGG Con withdrawal!! I had such a fabulous time, and I just want to spend another 5 glorious days of just board gaming.Ā This past BGG Con was my third one I’ve attended. I think back to how I went to BGG Con for the first time in 2014 ALL BY MYSELF …
BGG Con 2016 came and went, and it was a blast! It still blows my mind that five days can go by so quickly! And I can’t wait to do it all again next year. I’m planning to do two posts on BGG Con. In this post, I’m going to write about all the games …
Two weeks ago, my friend @idontknowrulesĀ purchased this game Leaving Earth, which sounded like a game theme he and I were randomly talking about a few weeks before that.Ā He still isn’t quite sure how he ran across the BGG listing for it, but we’re so glad he did. The guys and I have played the game …
My friends and I decided to host a second-annualĀ Friendship Con last week, and I had so much fun. It was nice seeing friends who moved away from Phoenix and those friends I haven’t seen since last year’s event. We played a lot of games, though sadly we didn’t get through all the games on our …
