And just like that – summer is practically at an end! I felt like I was able to see people a little bit more in the summer, which is weird since jobs aren’t like school… haha. But I digress. I felt like August was the month of party games, which made for some really funny plays. But I’m already looking forward to more new plays in September!

Another month of gaming! I was surprised I played so many new things this month, and was pleasantly surprised by a number of them. Overall, it was a pretty solid month for games. Spoiler: I think Cretaceous Rails was easily my favorite new play of the month!

Can you believe June is already over?? I can’t! This month I hosted a Taskmaster competition which is like one big, intricate game… sort of, haha, and was pretty fun! I didn’t play a ton new board games, but I had some fun with what I did get to the table. These days, my ratings tend to fall right around a 6/7 for many things, which seems “low” to some, but when you play so many games, it’s hard to rate things super high all the time, I think. Or maybe I’m just getting harsher with my ratings… haha. Overall, a decent month for games, and looking forward to July’s plays!

Another month in the books! I found a lot of things that I newly tried this month just okay, but a few gems as well! I feel like I’m definitely playing games less than before, but maybe that’s just part of life. I still get things to the table a few times a week, and it’s still a big part of my life. But I’m exploring other hobbies too! What hobbies do you invest time in outside of gaming?

It’s been a hard month for me personally, unfortunately. Which made wanting to play games really difficult at times, even though it’s supposed to be something that brings me joy. Still, I persevere, and I got some new games to the table. Do you play games more or less when you’re feeling down or going through a rough patch?
