Despite starting February with a gaming high, it went quickly downhill thanks to me becoming ill on the 2nd and not getting any better until the 16th. This meant that not a lot of games were played over the first couple of weeks of February, and our challenges were left wanting. And what of that… Continue reading And that was February 2025

And that was January 2025
A new year has begun. Apparently it happens every 12 months. A lot as changed since the last January post. I got married. I started my second year of Uni. Deadpool and Wolverine came and went. One thing that hasn't changed in the transfer from 2024 to 2025 is our love of board games and… Continue reading And that was January 2025
And that was 2024!
Farewell 2024, and hello 2025. The last 12 months have been, once again, a fantastic time for gaming. We've continued having our visits to fellow Instagram gamers, there were still a nice amount of new games coming in, and our 2024 Challenges were all almost completed (that's right, we failed one). As with last years… Continue reading And that was 2024!
And that was December 2024
It's the last month of the year and all the game playing of 2024 has been done. I plan to have a review of the year up here in about a week, but for now let's look back over the final month, the festive month, that was December. KICKSTARTER ARRIVALS This one went down to… Continue reading And that was December 2024
And that was November 2024
As we close in on the end of this year it's that time when outstanding personal Board game challenges are hunted down, where Top 50 lists are created, and where gaming becomes cosy on those dark, dark evenings. November was a month with less plays than are normal pace. There's no real reason for this… Continue reading And that was November 2024
And that was October 2024
The clocks have gone back and the nights are drawing in. It's a cosy time of year to play board games. KICKSTARTER ARRIVALS October was a good month for Kickstarter arrivals, mostly because one of my most anticipated pledges turned up. UNCONSCIOUS MIND from @fantasiagames is now one of the most gorgeous games in our… Continue reading And that was October 2024
And that was September 2024
As we head towards Autumn, we still have lots of games playing days on the calandar, and September was no exception. KICKSTARTER ARRIVALS After months of small card games or nothing at all, September saw the first big box arrival in a while with the ANDROMEDA'S EDGE all-in pledge. I'd just missed DWELLINGS OF ELDERVALE… Continue reading And that was September 2024
And that was August 2024
This month we got to enjoy our new favourite gaming event, the 24 Board Game Marathon, which you can read about in more detail here. We also popped a little way north to enjoy our second annual MollyCon, an Instagram gamer meetup organised by Craig of @getintogames which was, once again, a lot of fun.… Continue reading And that was August 2024
And that was the 24hr Board Game Marathon 2024 – part 3
We crossed the witching hour with GLEN MORE II finishing around 1am. The hall was beginning it's transformation into a ghost town with small settlements of gamers dotted around the tables. Like us, bigger games were being played, and I really do think this is the better tactic. Something that aims for around the 2… Continue reading And that was the 24hr Board Game Marathon 2024 – part 3
And that was the 24hr Board Game Marathon 2024 – part 2
At 7am we headed down for breakfast (which ended up being an awkward and sureal experience based on miscommuniaction, lack of staff training, and expectations. It's best left at that). It was so peaceful at that time of the day with a lot of gamers either still sleeping in at the hotel or not even… Continue reading And that was the 24hr Board Game Marathon 2024 – part 2
