I finally got around to finishing A Game of Thrones: Season One on Sunday Night (it was caught in the DVR back-log). The season finale was kind of a wrap-up/set-up for Season 2 as the Climax of the season was in episode nine as Eddard Stark’s head was chopped off. (I am sure glad I [...]

After a short vacation and with the kids’ swimming lessons out of the way, I finally made it back to our weekly game session. I was able to play three quick games. The night started with a spirited game of 7 Wonders. Six players. A ho-hum third place finish with the winner having three guild [...]

I was really excited for the release of Gozilla Kaiju World Wars, really excited. However after having played the game several times I’m not so happy. I’ll be posting a review this week along with a video but the game leaves a lot to be desired especially on the rules front. So I was a [...]

As mentioned last week, I was able to attend my normal Thursday Night gaming group for the first time in about three months and it was a fun time. I ended up playing Battlestar Galactica (BSG) and was able to pull off one of the most dominant Cylon victories of “ALL TIME.” Before I hurt [...]

So today, I get to finally announce my full-time return to weekly gaming. After a long two-year layoff, I am finally free to game at the normal Thursday Gaming Group and I can honestly tell you I am looking forward to it. For the bulk of the last two years, I have had a conflict [...]

If you’re married to a non-gamer hopefully this column will present a little information and humor. Summoner Wars Volume 1 – Summoner Wars Welcome to the first entry in Gaming with the Wife. As [...]

Conquest of Nerath promises lots of die rolling. Today as a gamer we have a very large assortment of games to choose from not only in theme but also in mechanics. Growing up things were simple, you lined guys up and you rolled some dice. Eventually that turned into role playing games and more sophisticated [...]

As a Star Wars fan and a gamer, one of my most exciting days was when I found and purchased my first few packs of Star Wars Minis. Rebel Storm–Released by Wizards of the Coast in Summer of 2004. An instant hit. It was the start of something big. . . These figures were cool [...]

As promised, here is a quick-fire recap of my day of gaming at the 2011 Spring Kitcon: On my way there, I got a call at 9:05 AM: we have seat waiting for you for Battlestar Galactica: Game One: BSG with Pegasus and Exodus Expansion pieces sprinkled in: I am playing “Helo” and am a [...]

Meant to do this post two weeks ago, but figured I’d toss it out here today. To be honest, I am uber-competitive. When it comes to work and some of the sports I play/played, I’d rather gut my opponent vs. actually lose. Yet when it comes to many board games, I’m often just content with [...]

I was browsing the different sites for some lunchtime topics today and I stumbled upon an upcoming game explained in the z-man games newsletter found here: It’s called Wok Star and it sounds really unique: From the board game geek entry: Wok Star is a cooperative real-time game where players take on different roles to [...]

So, I realized the other day that I hadn’t updated my Boardgame collection on the Geek in quite some time, and after updating it, I realized that I was getting real close to my 100th Board Game/Expansion. Now technically, if I was to count all of the fluff and multiple copies of Monopoly and whatnot [...]

If the stars align correctly my copy of the Battletech 25th anniversary introductory boxed set should arrive today or tomorrow. I never played Battletech growing up. I saw it played a lot, wanted to learn it but with so many games and RPG’s I never got around to it. When I heard about this box [...]
