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

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

It's the Monday morning after the marathon before. The first weekend of August has seen us push our board game playing abilites to the limit with another 24hr Board Game Marathon. With sleep off the menu, we were going to spend the 1440 minutes between 9am Saturday and 9am Sunday just playing games with like… Continue reading And that was the 24hr Board Game Marathon 2024 – part 1
And that was July 2024
It's so hot that all of our board games are melting! Just kidding. But damn, is it hot. And with the way sun hits our house in the afternoon and evening, we quite often feel like gaming but have to skip. So definitely less plays this July. New games continue to be thin on the… Continue reading And that was July 2024
And that was June 2024
The end of May and beginning of June was UKGE 2024, but unfortunately we were unable to attend this year due to money and a busy schedule. So instead we got to view the convention through the accounts we follow on social media. We are looking at fitting in a trip to UKGE 2025, finances… Continue reading And that was June 2024
