Hey there gamers, readers, fans, and friends! Welcome to my new and improved blog 😀

I’m really, really excited about this upgrade and can’t wait to move everything over to this new platform and keep on posting here for a long time to come.

If you’d like to read my old posts in the meantime, they are still available on my old site, and probably will be for the long haul. But, I will slowly but surely be moving everything over to here so that posts old and new can come togehter in one place!

Thanks for visiting ^__^

And as always, very happy gaming~

What I Played This Week 4/27 – 5/3

In What I Played This Week

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~

Top Ten Tiny Games

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?

We like to shape things up here, to keep you on toes, so be prepared to reorganize A LOT.
