Friday Night Shots - Reviews vs First Impressions
Friday Night Shots - Reviews vs First Impressions
It’s a Friday night and the rain has stopped!
Until overnight, then it’s supposed to rain all weekend.
Welcome to Vancouver!
Thanks for coming into the bar, even with the Canucks game on.
Sorry, I don’t have a TV. Just a jukebox that plays nothing but the greatest hits of Donny Osmond.
You’ll notice there’s nobody else in here?
Maybe I should get a TV.
But you’re not here to listen to…

Review - Villages of Valeria
Review - Villages of Valeria @_dailymagic_
There’s a certain attraction to families of games out there, though it’s funny how there aren’t as many as you would think there are.
When I say “families,” I’m speaking of games that are based in the same universe, though the mechanics and style of each individual game is different.
There are the Garphill trilogies (I won’t use my usual gif there), and I’m sure there are others out there that…

Kickstarter Review - Like Cain and Abel
Kickstarter Review - Like Cain and Abel
I like card games a lot.
Short, punchy 2-player card games are even better, as you don’t need a lot of time and they work in almost any circumstance.
Even better is when they do some innovative things with the whole genre.
Like Cain and Abel is an 18-card, 2-player trick-taking game designed by, with artwork by, and published by J.L. Reid. It’s going to Kickstarter on April 30 and the campaign…

Friday Night Shots - Update and Rules Mistakes
Friday Night Shots - Update and Rules Mistakes @garphillgames @FeuerlandSpiele @devirgames
Welcome back!
I know it’s been a little while since my last post, and that was after me saying how proud I was that I haven’t had more than a week in between posts in a long time.
Then I go and let 10 days go by.
It’s not from being sick, which is usually the case.
No, this was a full mental health and just not feeling up to writing issue. I did not feel like writing at all, and once again…

Combat Commander - After Action Report - Scenario LoM #12 - Red Sector A
Combat Commander - After Action Report - Scenario LoM #12 - Red Sector A @gmtgames
What’s this?
Two months in a row where I actually do my Combat Commander ladder game report early?
That’s unheard of!
There must be something in the water.
It’s time for another tale from the ladder! The ladder is a Combat Commander monthly tournament run by the unshakeable Patrick Pence, he of Patrick’s Tactics & Tutorials Youtube fame.
You should really go and check that channel out!…

Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) - Auction Games
Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) - Auction Games @25thCG
Apologies for the bar being closed last night!
It’s been a bit of a struggle the last couple of weeks getting stuff written as I’ve been suffering from a bit of imposter syndrome, wondering again what the heck I’m doing with this thing.
I’m already sensing Grant giving me the side-eye.
I’ve managed to not miss a complete week, though, which I’m happy with.
So now the bar is open again (even…

March 2024 Gaming
March 2024 Gaming @PlayRenegade @garphillgames @JohnDClair @LookoutSpiele @bwisegames
February was a very slow month for gaming, but that was ok after a really fast January.
However, March actually beat January like a rented mule!
Ok, actually, there were fewer games played in January, but more plays (because I played a few games so many times in January).
March was an awesome month with the Terminal City Tabletop Convention garnering a number of plays, plus some lunchtime…

Review - Shipwrights of the North Sea - Redux
Review - Shipwrights of the North Sea - Redux @garphillgames @PlayRenegade
What do you do if you love ships but you’re afraid of being out on the water so you can’t actually go sailing?
Especially if you’re a Viking?
You get a job building them instead of sailing them!
That’s the premise of Shipwrights of the North Sea – Redux (ok, maybe without the “I’m afraid to be out on the water” part; I might have extrapolated too much there).

Friday Night Shots - Player Aids
Friday Night Shots - Player Aids @garphillgames @bwisegames @fanfactories
Welcome to another end-of-week social gathering where it’s just you and me!
I’d say I’m enough to make it social. Wouldn’t you?
Well, anyway, hop on a seat at the bar and let’s chat!
I do have to say first, though, that you are running up quite the bar tab here.
Are you going to pay it tonight?
You do have a week still…
I kid!!!
For you, everything’s free.
But only you. Don’t tell anybody…

It’s a few days after another great convention experience, so let’s talk a little bit about Terminal City Tabletop Convention – 2024.
This year, it was held at the Vancouver Convention Centre which is right on the water in downtown Vancouver. It’s a beautiful site, and also the same venue as SHUX was held in…I don’t remember the last one (hey, let’s link to a blog post that might refresh the…

Review - Underwater Cities
Review - Underwater Cities
It would be cool to live on the ocean.
Beachfront property, your back door opening right onto the beach, listening from your balcony to the ocean waves crash on the shore, watching the lightning from a storm out over the water.
That would be amazing!
How about living under the ocean, though?
That would be very wet and hard to breathe…unless you had domes!
That’s kind of the premise of…

Combat Commander - After Action Report - Scenario 93 - Foxtrot Uniform
Combat Commander - After Action Report - Scenario 93 - Foxtrot Uniform @gmtgames
After a really bad (and late!) February episode of Tales from the Combat Commander ladder, we’re getting to March’s almost as soon as I’m done playing it!
This was a much more satisfying game, and that’s whether or not I won (I’m not giving you any spoilers). The scenario was clean and it was just an amazingly fun time!
What’s the ladder?
It’s a tournament setting run by the beyond compare…

Review - Fire in the Library
Review - Fire in the Library @WeirdGiraffes
I’m a pretty big fan of push your luck games.
Hell, I play tons of games of Can’t Stop on Boardgame Arena, even though it’s not an awesome asynchronous game.
I just can’t get enough with pushing my luck!
I’m also a bibliophile.
I love books. I love reading them, and if I had the space, I’d love collecting them. (Instead, I mainly read e-books).
Put those two tastes together and what do you…

Friday Night Shots - Friendship Killing Games

It’s another Friday and welcome to the bar!
Funny how nobody else seems to be in here, but it is raining out there pretty good.
Always happy to have just my friends in the bar with me, hanging out on a Friday night.
Who needs customers?
It’s getting a bit warmer, and maybe the sun will come out soon?
Not for almost a week, at least up here.
Let me pour you a drink and we can talk about…

Friday Night Shots - 5 Player Games
Friday Night Shots - 5 Player Games @gmtgames @GreyFoxGames @_dailymagic_ @Zmangames_ @IonGameDesign
Two Fridays in a row!
Welcome back to the bar. I hope you’re enjoying the excessively wet evening out there.
Why not cozy up to the bar, get some heat going, along with a drink of some sort, and just have a chat?
I promised no fire jokes anymore, so I’m actually kind of out of material now.
Let me see if I can find something…
Nope, nothing there!
Oh well. Next week.
Anyway, let me turn…
