Straight out of the festive period and head first into a cold, wet, and extremely miserable month. But, when the weather is that bad, and the world outside our doorsteps continues to be horrific in unimaginable ways, it's very easy to slink back to our hobby, exploring the shelves, and distracting our minds with plays… Continue reading And that was January 2026

And that was December 2025
This was a quieter gaming month than usual. Studies have been keeping me busy. Illness has helped too. And, of course, it's that time of year. So, with only a few days where I managed to play games, the number of plays could have been quite low. But, the rare times I did game, it… Continue reading And that was December 2025
And that was November 2025
A very cold and wet month, was November. Perfect for board gaming. We got a lot of new games to the table this month. Part of that was a visit to the @getintogames household were we always get a lot of new games played. We also had a family visit that same weekend where my… Continue reading And that was November 2025
And that was October 2025
We started this month recuperating from our epic September of gaming. Month nine of the year was a big month for game playing, both with consistancy and with totals. So October was a lot less about chasing those stats. It also saw me dive into my third (and hopefully final) year of Uni, so evenings… Continue reading And that was October 2025
And that was September 2025
This is a month where we played a lot of games. A. Lot. A week off for both of us with zero plans meant it was all about playing as much as we could. A mix of favourites, Shelf Of Shame, and bringing back some old classics, saw us sore to great heights. We even… Continue reading And that was September 2025
And that was August 2025
We started this month with another board game meet up, this time with @getintogames and @mrsgetintogames so a lot of new games got played. I also got to teach them DEAD OF WINTER, one of my favourite games, which was nice. I nearly got my first ever Traitor victory in that, but the pesky dice… Continue reading And that was August 2025
And that was July 2025
Soooooooooo hot! But did that stop us playing games? Heck no. In fact, we went a little epic with three different games days hosted in our new games room (have I mentioned the new games room?) Our first offical guests were @boardgamemeeple and @carrieongaming who brought with them a lot of cool new games for… Continue reading And that was July 2025
And that was June 2025
As we all slowly melt away, we also cross the half way mark of this year. This month finally saw the completion of our garage conversion (sort of) and so we've finally been getting back into gaming again. Of course the heat doesn't help as all we want to do most nights is collapse on… Continue reading And that was June 2025
And that was UKGE 2025 – Day 4
With the potential of a 3+ hour drive home, we never planned to stay too long on the Sunday. Some people had already gone, others were busy scouring the halls for last minute deals, and the rest were taking it super easy. It ended up being a day with no demos and no games played… Continue reading And that was UKGE 2025 – Day 4
And that was UKGE 2025 – Day 2
With the Thursday evening done, I was buzzing to get going for the first day in the main halls. Despite convincing myself that we had no goals or agendas for this year's Expo, that all went out the window following the Thursday night preview show. I now had a map and specific stalls we simply… Continue reading And that was UKGE 2025 – Day 2
