Age of Steam – 2002’s Best Train Game
Age of Steam by John Bohrer and Martin Wallace has a long and storied history, but I’m not privy to the details. The game has been reimplemented by Railways of the World and by Steam: Rails to Riches.
But let’s not talk about that part of history, let’s talk about the actual game. Age of Steam is a train game in which you and your opponents are trying to develop your train company and delivering goods in the longest way possible. Efficiency will not be rewarded on the free market.
Food Chain Magnate: The Ketchup Mechanism & Other Ideas – First Impressions
I’ve owned the Food Chain Magnate: The Ketchup Mechanism & Other Ideas for a couple of years now, and I’ve had a chance to play through most of the modules at least once. I thought it would be fun to go through each of the modules and briefly talk about how they change the game.

Challenging your Hobby – Talking about Board Game Challenges
As board gamers, I believe something we share is a love of creating rulesets and then trying to excel within the rules we’ve made.

Best New to me Games of 2022

For some, this character trait is annoying, but I am who I am. in 2022 I played 105 different games 235 different times, and of those 105 different games, 41 were new to me. I’ve compiled the games that were new to me in 2022 that I enjoyed the most
