More 2022 Wrap-up: Games I Missed
The end of the year is a great time for making lists. I’ve seen a ton of 2022 top game lists this month, and I realized that I haven’t played many games that were released this year. In fact, only 9 of this year’s games hit my table. Bottom to top, these include Skull Canyon…

2022 Wrap-up: New to the Table
Every year I set a goal for myself that pertains to the year. I started this in 2020, setting the goal to play 20 new-to-me games and read 20 new-to-me books during the year. In 2021 it was 21 of each. This year it was 22 of each. We’re not going to discuss the books…

What Are We Doing Here?
Welp. You’ve found this place. Now that you’re here, you might wonder what the heck we’re doing here, you and I. Honestly, I’m hoping to build a place where we can chat about board games pretty informally. I’ve blogged a bit in the past (when it was cool) about my life and shit, but I…
