Stephen’s Favorite New-to-Him in 2020 Game: Stephen couldn’t limit himself to just 1 game either! His top new-to-him games that he played this year were: Empyreal: Spells & Steams, Heroscape, Cowboy Bebop: Space Serenade, and Tidal Blades. Additionally, his favorite new-to-him expansion was the Stockpile Continuing Corruption Expansion as well!

2021 Goals: Play a boatload of games and have a boatload of fun!

Additionally — An Announcement!

Going forward I’m no longer going to be doing my weekly plays lists. I haven’t really been enjoying putting the lists together as much, so they’ve been bogging me down a little bit. Instead, I’m planning on posting more pictures frequently on social media (so make sure to follow me), and I’m thinking of trying out a “new to me last month” series! Thanks again for another year of gaming. Let’s make 2021 one for the books!

Happy Gaming~
