Whoa, where did December go?!? Hope everybody had a wonderful and safe holiday season. It’s been a busy and fun few weeks, hence the lack of posts here, but I’m planning to be back on the regular again in 2016. Share this… Facebook Twitter Linkedin Reddit Pinterest
Last weekend I went to Game Day, and a curious thing happened — all the games that I played were new to me! This hardly happens as whenever we learn a new game, somebody usually suggests an old familiar game soon after, so that our brains don’t hurt too much. Or I usually suggest BSG …
It’s been a busy week or so being out of town for my cousin’s wedding in LA, but now I’m back! Well, at least until Christmas vacation. I finally got a chance to get Mombasa on my table during last night’s game night. My two friends came over (we unfortunately couldn’t find a 4th player), but the …
I meant to write this post sooner but things got busy during Thanksgiving weekend. Hope everybody had a wonderful holiday weekend! And one of the things I’m thankful for is being a part of a wonderful board-gaming community. Anyway, if anybody has any reservations about joining Team Geek at BGG Con, I would say to …
Wow, BGG Con came and went to so quickly! I arrived Dallas a day before the convention to attend Team Geek orientation, and immediately got into gaming that evening. I’m planning to write a follow-up post next on what it was like to be part of Team Geek, so this entry will be strictly about gaming …
I flew out this morning from Phoenix to Dallas to help get ready for BGG Con, which begins tomorrow and runs through Sunday. This year will be my second time at the convention, and my first time on Team Geek, which will require some volunteer time throughout the convention. I’m super duper excited! I’m already …
About six months ago, I was telling my board-game friends that I was going to BGG Con again, after having an awesome time last year. My one friend had this crazy idea to have our own convention, without the need for traveling and in the comforts of our homes, since they all couldn’t get away …
I finally had some time to assemble the Broken Token organizer for Caverna, both of which I received on my birthday. Caverna is a game with a million little pieces, both in plastic and cardboard form, and having an organizer for it seriously saves like 20 minutes for setup and cleanup of the game. And …
My board-gaming friends this past weekend decided to hold a Halloween scavenger hunt. They initially wanted to throw a Halloween party but since they said their place is too small, they decided to organize this event instead. The event took place in downtown Phoenix in about a square mile radius, and six teams (about half of …
“Damnit, I’m a dollar short!!” This sentence basically sums up the awesome game of Power Grid. I hadn’t played this game in a long while (and it actually is one of the first games I owned), but recent back-to-back games of it reminded me of how much fun and strategic this game is, especially when you …
