What I Played This Week 5/18 – 5/24

On May 25, 2020

Hey, hey, hey, Gamers! I hope everyone had another great week of gaming! 😀 I’m glad to have a day off from work today, but unfortunately I’ll be doing some chores instead of playing extra games. But hey, you win some, you lose some, right? Anywho, I hope you’ve enjoyed whatever you’ve been playing a whole lot! I’ve been enjoying recent review games, and my ongoing alphabet gaming project. Times are still weird and not-so-normal, but I hope going back to weekly game nights are on the horizon soon. We’ll see, I guess! Until then, happy (social distance) gaming~

With the recent death of the Emperor, a new leader must take the throne. Since the Emperor hadn’t named a successor, it is up to you to back one of the country’s Princesses and help her gain enough public support to win the crown! Are you up for the challenge?

In What I Played This Week

Hey there, Gamers! I hope you all had a great week full of gaming and happiness! We got a few games to the table during the week and a bunch over the weekend, continuing our alphabet-gaming project. We even got something new out this week! While playing through some of our games, we realized more of them play 5 then we thought, and we can’t wait to get back to our weekly game group and bring all these games for them to play too! It’s crazy not having seen them in a while, and we really wish we could get back to it soon. Let’s all hope for the best!

Happy Gaming~

Top 10 Games I Don’t Own

Howdy Gamers!
Now, I know what you’re thinking from the title, “This seems like a weird list…” And, to be fair, you’re not wrong. I guess it is a little bit weird to exclusively look at a bunch of games you don’t own. Your follow-up thoughts maybe include something along the lines of “If you like these so much, why don’t you just buy them…?” Again, a valid assessment.

For one reason or the next (price, availability, not playing it til after a Kickstarter, someone else I know owns it ….. et cetera) these just haven’t made it into my collection yet. Maybe they will in the future, maybe not, but I still wanted to give some love to some games I don’t own, just for fun. So check them out! There’s actually all rated about the same for me on BGG, so they’re just organized alphabetically. Which ones of these do you like? Which ones do you own? What games that you love haven’t made it into your collection yet either? These are the questions that need answers!

Anyway, Happy Gaming~
