What I Played This Week 4/27 – 5/3

On May 4, 2020

Hey there gamers! I hope you got a lot of gaming in once again this past week, I know I got a fair few to table, including some that haven’t seen the light of day in a while, so that was cool.

We did some extra virtual gaming this week as well. I’m glad we have the capability to do these things, and I’m glad we can help provide some entertainment to friends and family during this social distancing time, but it still isn’t the same, and it can be hard because it just makes me miss having game nights and friends over on weekends even more. I’m running short on spoons these days, but I’m just trying to look forward to better days as much as possible.

I hope you all have plenty of spoons and love and games and whatever else you need. Sending virtual hugs your way, take as you need. And as always, happy gaming~

Good Morrow, Gamers! So over the last few months, I’ve found myself buying a few more small box/tiny games as opposed to your “traditional” box sizes that you’d find Ticket to Ride in, for example. I wanted to bring my top ten small box/tiny games to the table here in case you’re in need of suggestions of lil stuff that’s easy to travel with or store if you don’t have a lot of room. While there’s definitely crossover, I tried to pick games that covered a bunch of different mechanics so there’s something for everyone! But without further ado, let’s check them out!

Hey there, Gamers! I hope everyone had another great week of gaming and maybe even got something new to the table! I did a little more virtual gaming this past week, and did a bunch more themed gaming over the weekend to continue my alphabet gaming project, as I like to call it.

The feeling of missing my normal game nights has been hitting me hard lately. I also just miss having friends over on the weekends for escape room games, and sillier party/kids games. While I’m glad I’m still playing games at home, I hope to get back to these meet ups real soon.

I said as sort of a joke on Twitter the other day that once quarantine is over I’m having a big board game party and inviting tons of people over to play. Who knows, maybe I actually will!

What games are you itching to play once quarantine ends?

Top 10 Games to Play Virtually

Heellloooo, Gamers! So, like probably a bunch of you, I’ve been doing a bunch of remote gaming over the past few weeks to stay connected with people and give some of my peeps something fun to do together since we’re all going a little stir-crazy.

While better days seem to be just ahead, I still wanted to compile a list of the games that work best virtually because, hey, you never know when you might need them! All of these can be played with only 1 person owning the game, and providing the other players with scans/photos of scoresheets, or the players using dry erase boards, paper and pencil, or touch screen devices.

Let me know what you’ve found worked best over video chats, because I’d love to have more ideas handy!

Happy Gaming~
