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
And that was May 2024
The sun is shining which means I'm doing my best to stay indoors in the shadows and play boardgames with the curtains closed (can't stand that sun glare off the sleeved cards, lol). May has been a slower game month than usual for us. A cancelled meetup, Uni assignment deadlines, and that damn heat, all… Continue reading And that was May 2024
And that was April 2024
Quarter of the year gone by and winter is definitely behind us now as the sun is beginning to come out. We've had a great month of gaming with a visit to CajunCon (an Instagram meetup that didn't require us to drive for 2 hours plus). We've also been having a lot of fun with… Continue reading And that was April 2024

Quarter of the year gone by and winter is definitely behind us now. KICKSTARTER ARRIVALS The month started in style with my copy of SHIPWRIGHTS OF THE NORTH SEA: REDUX turning up, along with the big box for EXPLORERS OF THE NORTH SEA. Now all our Medieval Trilogy games are in matching sized boxes. With… Continue reading And that was March 2024
And that was February 2024
Spring is nearly here folks, so lets look back over February. KICKSTARTER ARRIVALS While the Kickstarter arrival drought continues, my oldest outstanding campaign (backed in Sept 2021) finally arrived. And it was a big one! AGEMONIA was a campaign that I followed with a lot of excitment in the months leading up to its launch… Continue reading And that was February 2024
