I think I’ve mentioned before that my FLGS has a Used Game Sale every year. People can bring in games they no longer want, and have the opportunity to sell them. The event itself has actually gotten pretty big and intense, with people camping outside the store hours before opening…
Othello is a game that I remember playing a toooooooooon when I was a kid. I don’t remember how I was introduced to it, but for some reason, I became obsessed. I was always wanting to play, and my family probably got annoyed with my constant requests to play. Admittedly,…

One thing that I truly love about the board gaming hobby is the ability to discover new games at nearly every turn. Just when I think I’ve seen it all, I come across a post on BGG or a social media game group that blows my mind. Either with unique…
Barcelona! One of my favorite cities I have ever visited. I have sweet memories and also sour memories of this wonderful place. I have walked the streets, tipped the street performers, performed at the Universitat de Barcelona, but I also have mistakenly happened upon a brothel at night and had…
As you’ve read in our previous reviews, we are BIG fans of the Valeria-verse games. Whether we have to recruit adventurers for quests, build a thriving village, or traverse the lands to protect its people from various Monsters, we are all about this realm. For this newest installation in the…
