It happens to us once or twice a year. It makes the hunt worth it. To find a game which has avoided entry into the BoardGameGeek database is a rare feat. As with this week’s example, they are usually regionally issued and by very smal ...
As you know, we game regularly on weekends. Our standard game is Gloomhaven, but we’re really at the tail end of it so we’ve been stretching the last few sessions out by playing other games. Scott and Doug often select from some ...
