Exploring… Wil Wheaton?
I don’t know if you’ve seen it already, but there’s a really cool Geeklist on BGG where people are photoshopping Wil Wheaton into box cover art. I’m certainly no photoshop expert, but […]

Firenze is a game about tower building in Florence, which was apparently a big status symbol there way back in the Renaissance. I had heard good things about it both […]
As I finally make my way back to the mic, I turn my critical eye on the whole “Microgame” fad that has swept over the hobby. What is a Microgame? […]
Yep, it’s that time again… My BLOG-I-VERSARY!!!!! Seven years ago today, I wrote my first article on this blog. Stay tuned over the next few days for a look back […]

Whoops… Sorry to have fallen off the planet for a couple of weeks there. I didn’t mean to do that, but work’s been crazy, and in just one week, I […]
No, I’m not dead. I’ve been busy, but I’ve also been playing games. And one of the new ones I’ve played recently is the non-rondel Mac Gerdts game, Concordia. I […]

This episode is all about the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. This is a game that I’ve had a lot of strong and contradictory feelings about ever since I first heard […]
Last week, I managed to fill in one really big gap in my modern boardgaming experience by playing Caylus for the first time. And in processing the images from that game, I found that the colors of the pieces were very hard to balance, where the pictures either looked too dim or they would become oversaturated when I brightened them up.

Wow, where did the last week go? Between a big project at work and just another busy week with the kids and all, I haven’t had any time at all to write or record much of anything. And I have to admit that I was a little distracted for a couple of days surrounding the long-awaited creation of the Acute Care page on BGG and a very unexpected mention on BGG News.

Once again, it’s been a while, so a huge portion of this show is dedicated to just talking about games that I’ve been able to play recently. But I also do a couple of other things, like call some more attention to my ongoing contest to win copies of Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia and Nanuk.

Lastly, my voice gives up the ghost before I can get around to reviewing Trains, so we’ll have to save that for next show…
Yeah, I know I’ve used pictures of The Great Heartland Hauling Co. before as my Picture of the Week, but you just have to go with what looks best sometimes…
