So, long ago I wrote about a game called Above and Below. It’s a game we all really liked, because it has this fun mechanic for going on adventures that the girls really liked to do whenever we played – sometimes to the exclusion of the “town-building” that is the core of that game. So […]

Game – Ex Libris
Some people are easier to buy gifts for than others. I would argue that I am one of those people. I have a wide range of interests in specific things and hobbies. I am a fan of various book, tv and movie properties, which means that anything related to those is also a good idea. […]
Game – The Wolf Among Us
I think I’ve established that I’m a gamer of a very specific kind – I don’t have the hand-eye coordination to play any game that requires move “combos” on a moments notice (so fighting games are out), and I am not good at first person shooters mainly for the reason that I am constantly afraid […]
Game – Her Story
As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m an odd sort of gamer. I love tabletop games, and that’s an area where I can talk about with more authority. But when it comes to video games, I’m much less knowledgeable or even capable about talking about (much less playing) the bit “AAA” games that get the […]
Game – Pandemic Legacy (Season 1)
NOTE: This is a spoiler-free review of Pandemic Legacy (Season 1) for an unfinished game. As long as you don’t zoom in on the last picture, you’re cool. You all know I love board games. I know you’re not as interested in them as I am, but holy cats people – this is one that […]
Game – 5 Minute Dungeon
I read a lot of blogs. It helps me feel like I’m staying up to date on pop culture, and also helps me find out about interesting things happening in my city, in the country and around the world. One of my “geeky” blogs I read is the aptly named Geek and Sundry – home […]
Games – Stardew Valley
I am a sucker for a deal. One of the “deal” sites that I like to follow is the Humble Bundle – a website that started out selling video games at a price determined by the purchaser. A portion of the money goes to charity, with the rest split between the game developers whose products were […]
Game – Castles of Mad King Ludwig
Are you guys ready to read (or not read) what will surely be an unpopular post? I joke a little, but still it seems that other people aren’t quite as into board games as the Boy and I. Someday when I’m working on the project, I’ll show you a picture of the cabinets in our […]
Game – Divinity Original Sin (Enhanced Edition)
So, not that a lot of people have filled out my SUPER FAST SUPER EASY READER SURVEY, but the one bit of feedback that I got so far was that perhaps other people weren’t super excited about game reviews. I don’t know if that was more focused on video games or board games, but either […]
Games/TV – D&D and Critical Role
I’m not sure when it started. My fascination with role playing games. Even though it was a recent thing. I was always intrigued – I have a vague memory of creating characters and starting some kind of game when I was maybe 11 or 12 with my cousins in my grandmother’s basement. But it’s also […]
