My latest #boardgame review on the Opinionated Gamers site - the wonderful Tales of the Arthurian Knights designed by Andrew Parks. opinionatedgamers.com/2025/10/10/t...

This a a wonderful video about one of my favorite Superman stories (written by @kurtbusiek.bsky.social)... but you should go find the trade paperback of Superman: Secret Identity and read it before watching this.

My latest post on the Opinionated Gamers site is a VERY extensive preview of the Heroscape releases coming February - May of 2026. I not only cover @renegadegamestudios.com RenegadeCon but also salt in a good bit of my own commentary. Enjoy! #boardgames opinionatedgamers.com/2025/10/07/h...

The 1 Player Guild on BoardGameGeek votes each October for their favorite solo #boardgames... and I turned my entry into a Geeklist for all to enjoy. boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/364...

September gaming… a good bit of solo play plus multiple BGA async tournaments. And the chance to try some oddball new stuff thanks to my son and some good friends.

Nashville - April ‘24 #MyPLMornings

It's early September... so that means that it is time for my solo gaming recap from the first 8 months of 2025 over on the Opinionated Gamers site. #boardgames opinionatedgamers.com/2025/09/08/s...

I enjoyed Tenpenny Parks a lot... so I'm very interested in the upcoming KS from @thunderworksgames.bsky.social to add both variety and some additional depth to the game. (Plus, a way to store all of it together.) thunderworksgames.com/products/ten...

Battle of Hoth is really good… I lost and I still enjoyed it immensely. #boardgames

August was a big month for BGA gaming... and the discovery of Unstoppable & Sniper Elite. I'm working on reviews of Flamme Rouge: Grand Tour (excellent expansion) and Tales of the Arthurian Knights... and my every four month solo gaming report is just a week or so away.

My newest board game review on the Opinionated Gamers site - Zoo Tycoon: The Board Game (and the New Shores expansion) from Treecer Games. It's got cute wooden animals and some think-y strategic choices all rolled into one. opinionatedgamers.com/2025/08/15/i...

My latest post for the Opinionated Gamers... a recap of a wonderful LONG #boardgame weekend with a smattering of games from various eras (including one that is 45 years old!). opinionatedgamers.com/2025/06/04/k...

"Despite what some Christian leaders are saying, the real crisis facing the church today is not a loss of cultural power, but the disappearance of Christlike character." @skyejethani.bsky.social

My latest Heroscape review is now posted on my personal blog... #boardgames akapastorguy.blogspot.com/2025/05/hero...

On a road trip & listening to The Cars first album… first, dang - this holds up well for being 40+ years old. Second - the wisdom of crowds… what genre is this? New Wave? Pop? Ocasek-ness?

An extensive recap of my solo gaming for the first third of 2025 over on the Opinionated Gamers site... read and enjoy! #boardgames opinionatedgamers.com/2025/05/02/s...

I've updated my review from yesterday to reflect Renegade Game Studios changing the date for ordering prior to the small tariff price hikes they are going to make. (You now have through Friday, May 2.) opinionatedgamers.com/2025/04/30/h...

April #boardgames…

My newest #boardgames review (with a side of tariff commentary) on the Opinionated Gamers site... opinionatedgamers.com/2025/04/30/h...

Well said, @mikecosper.bsky.social.

My weekend #boardgames included an interesting smattering of old & relatively new… and a LOT of solo play of Undaunted 2200: Callisto. (It’s really really good.)

Texted LITERALLY WAR PLANS

In 2020, I wrote a preview for the KS of Northgard from @opensesamegames.bsky.social... and the production copy was even nicer than the prototype copy they sent me. Open Sesame is back with an expansion on KS - I've already backed it. 1/2 #boardgames opinionatedgamers.com/2020/08/15/n...

A new post on my personal blog - which is actually a really old post from my long-defunct website about "lost & found" board game rules. #boardgames akapastorguy.blogspot.com/2025/03/game...

My newest set of solo gaming reviews on the Opinionated Gamers site: Hamlet, World Wonders, SAS Rogue Regiment & In the Ashes. #boardgames opinionatedgamers.com/2025/03/19/a...

Any fans of this policy able to explain it? - Navajo code talkers were DEI hires? - Recounting them disadvantages white code talkers? - Removing rebel statues "erases history" but this does not? www.axios.com/local/salt-l...

Tremendous game of Northgard yesterday… lost to extremely clever play (my game score would have won if we’d reached round 7). Check out the Kickstarter going on for the expansion and the base game from @opensesamegames.bsky.social… 1/2

My newest review on the Opinionated Gamers site - this time, my likely Game of the Year for 2025, the amazing Arydia: The Paths We Dare Tread from Far Off Games. #boardgames opinionatedgamers.com/2025/03/10/w...
