Agricola – Board Game Review
It’s hard to imagine that Agricola has existed since I was in high school. The things I would have done to have known about Agricola's existence during the years when I was living with my primary gaming buddy. I can guarantee you, we would have been playing Agricola...
That Time You Killed Me: Episode 1
That Time You Killed Me is an abstract strategy game for 2 players, designed by Peter C. Hayward and released in 2021. It's kind of like chess, but with more murder. Murder by squishing. Squishy murder. As the story goes, you've invented time travel! Yay! Except...
Woodcraft – First Impressions
Apparently 2024 is the year that I dive into Valdimr Suchy games. In the last 6 months I've played Pulsar 2849, Praga Caput Regni, Evacuation, and now, Woodcraft gets added to that pile as well. With this experience, I'm starting to get a feel for Valdimr's designs....

Cryptid – Board Game Review
There aren't a lot of deduction games that I enjoy. At least, competitive deduction games. I really enjoy solo logic puzzles, but when deduction becomes a competition, I freeze up and my brain becomes a puddle. It probably doesn't help that the people who make up my...
SCOUT
SCOUT by Kei Kanjino and published by Oink Games has got to be one of the most widely popular little box of cards Oink games has published so far. Each card in SCOUT is double-sided, with different numbers on either side. Each round begins by dealing out the whole...
Ticket to Ride
Sometimes I feel like I'm becoming a curmudgeonly old man. Bitter at the world and have a deep disdain and loathing for 'fun'. Soon I'll be chasing the roaming street youths off my lawn with a stick, how dare they play? Everyone should be out working! No one wants to...
