Settler of the Boards

Sup Gamers? I hope you’ve all been playing some amaaazing games lately, especially if you were of the lucky bunch who attended Essen this week! (It’ll be me one day, too!). We got some more spooky games in this week, played a bunch that are on deck for reviews, and overall just had a great time when we did get to play. (School is really killing the board gaming vibe, but hey, what can you do?). Anyway, share your spooky games, your Essen finds, or whatever you like with me, I wanna know what everyone’s playing!

And make sure to check out next week’s post because it’s sure to be exciting and filled with newness since next Saturday, 11/2, is 24-hours of gaming for Extra Life at The Portal in Manchester, CT! 😀

Happy Gaming~

Pairing Lovecraftian Characters: Cthulhu The Great Old One (Deluxe)

In Game Review

You’ve heard all the stories, maybe many times, but now it is time to encounter the characters, lore, and horrors from H.P. Lovecraft’s renowned tales. In this Cthulhu themed card game for 2 to 6 players, matches and links will be made to generate points, but perhaps one player will attempt to swear loyalty to The Great Old One Himself, in order to arise victorious in the end. Let’s take a deeper look.

In What I Played This Week

Howdy Gamers! It’s been another long week of the grind with a little gaming to fill the void in my soul! I spent a lot of my week doing school work/papers, unfortunately, so once again I didn’t play as much as I usually like to. BUT! Still had a few newbies, a few spookums, and a few faves.

Anyone else playing some horror/spooky/Halloween themed games all month? I’m always looking for more suggestions!

Happy Gaming~

In Board Game Talk, Lists

Hey there high (and low) rollers! I wanted to take a blog post to talk a little bit about dice and a few different (random-ish) aspects of them because, in case you didn’t know, I LOVE dice!

There are so many varieties and lots of reasons to buy them all up … especially if you just like to find excuses to buy them, like me. From RPG needs to board game upgrades and more, picking out the perfect sets is so much fun! I personally find it difficult to pull myself away from dice displays at stores and conventions, and more often than not I end up buying a set or two, even if I have no real plans for them other than “they look so nice!” So let’s dive ever so slightly deeper into the dice pool and talk about what’s to love about dice! Or, well, what I love about dice … but maybe you’ll love these things too!

Welcome to another wonderful week of gaming, everyone! I spent the weekend away so didn’t get in as much gaming as usual, but still found time throughout the week amidst work, school, and those pesky eating/breathing/sleeping things to game! A few newbies and a few greats, all-in-all, a nice week!

What day do you usually play the most games? Do you have a weekly game night? Let me know! Tell me things! Someone … anyone? hmm….

Happy Gaming~
