Spring is here. The days are longer and the sun has definitely got his hat on. Of course this now means that the sun likes to invade our dining room in the latter half of the day, forcing us to pulled the blind down and prevent the room heating up as well as stop the… Continue reading And that was April 2025

And that was March 2025
As always, passing by March makes time feel like it's moving fast; we're now a quarter of the way through the year! We had a visit to our South coast friends which saw some more 4-player experiences of games we all normally play at 2. And we finally got the chance to see what all… Continue reading And that was March 2025
And that was February 2025
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
