Games I’ve Played the Most on Board Game Arena
These are the games that I’ve played the most on Boardgamearena.com. I would recommend any of these games without reservation.
10 Days in Europe – A Pleasant Journey

Cartographers – The Best Game I’ve Never Played
Over the last 12 months we have gamed together using a few online resources, but Tabletop Simulator has been the most common platform so far with 105 games played. One of the games that was a surprise hit on the platform was Cartographers.
Journal #2 – Sagrada – Be Better Than the Sum of the Rejected Dice
The question that comes up when I make the choice to play a solo game is 'what differentiates a game from a puzzle'? I could also question why do we even play games in the first place, but I'm here to write, not to think. I tried the Solo mode for Sagrada the other...
