    Last Thursday our game night started two hours late because everyone had stuff going on. But six people made it, finally, and we tried a few card games and a tried and true classic. First, before members five and six showed, we busted out Scout. This is the second time we’ve played it. I’ve had

    Gamers, Assemble!

    GenCon in Indianapolis is going on as I write this post. I’m not sitting in the middle of a crowded hall full of gamers where I can’t hear myself think for all the buzzing about board games going on in my head. In fact, I’m not there at all. I haven’t been there since probably

    Welcome back! If you’ve been following along, you may have noticed that I’ve mentioned in past posts that I have some issues with expansions to board games. No, I don’t hate them.
