First in-person multiplayer gaming since February 2020, aside from a few rounds of Sushi Go Party during a family weekend. First in-person Epic Duels in quite a bit longer than February 2020, plus we got in some Spirit Island and Imhotep, which I will cover in future posts. This session was with the 1670 group, …
First off, if you’re not playing board games on boardgamearena.com, why aren’t you? It’s free, it’s browser-based, and it’s awesome. All of this was true prior to the pandemic, and seeing as that’s still going on, all the more reason to play games online. I love how it sets up and records everything for you …

I’ve done this twice recently with the Freedon Nadd and Ahsoka, Defender of Corvus decks, so I thought I’d explain briefly. I make a lot of SWED decks. I get ideas and sometimes they come together really well and really elegantly. Sometimes they don’t. In making decks for LOTRED, it has been no different. Some …
This old blog post gets at what I was looking for in a space game, and explicitly why current space games like Xia and Firefly the Game fall short. I was looking for a mix of those 2 games along with Merchants & Marauders, the best pirate board game I’ve played so far. But, as I …

I recently picked up Raiders of the North Sea and it’s just a great game from a game design perspective, and that’s the view we’ll be taking of more games as we continue to review them. There’s a lot to like about the game, especially a simple, beautiful rule set: Place a worker, take an …
