Life Ramblings. By Me. For Me. But You're Welcome to Follow Along.
This next entry is a game that the Ladyfolk had at her parent's house, hidden in the basement, just waiting to be discovered in time to rescue me from my lack of a "Q" game! Actually, she knew it was there, or at least hoped it was still there. It's a game I hadn't even heard of before then, which I thought was perfect.
In a cross between Trivia and Scrabble, we take a peek at...
From one Filler to the next! Although, despite this next entry being claimed as a Filler game, the one experience I had of it took much longer than what was listed on the box. This may have been because almost everyone in the playgroup was learning the game, but I suspect not. The rules are nowhere near complicated, but I think the way the game plays can cause for lengthy sessions.
Grab your saws and hammers and let's take a look at the Kickstarter game that focuses on building yourself a handy dandy...
Tonight I'm going to highlight a game that I just recently played and is a bit different than the rest I've featured thus far. It has elements such as hidden roles, bluffing, and deduction, much like Avalon, Resistance, Spyfall, and others of similar design. In fact, the original version of this game may be what inspired those I listed. This version, however, has been condensed and runs roughly 10-15 min.
It's a great Filler/Gateway/Party game, though maybe best for players who can handle the bluffing pressures involved. Either way, it's time to see if we can survive...
This next entry is a card game that I played for the first time this Winter. It is both a Gateway and Filler game. I think it's listed play time is 20 min, and that is pretty accurate even with first-timers. It's really simple to teach and to learn.
Let's take a quick look at a game where you collect cards or pass on them declaring...
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to borrow this next game from a friend so that I could get some pictures taken. I'm going to use some I found on Boardgamegeek, until I can get my own.
It's yet to be released in the US, but I've played the Polish version, and thought it was really fun. And surprisingly challenging. It's heralded as being a cross between Dixit and Clue, and I suppose the comparisons fit. Let's take a quick look into the world of...

This year's A to Z Challenge is over, but how did I fare with another attempt at producing Flash Fiction and Poetry throughout it all? Did I run into the same complications as last year?
Join me as I reflect on the challenge and the thoughts about my continued participation on Dreams in the Shade of Ink.
Dreams in the Shade of Ink is back with more Flash Fiction for the A to Z Challenge 2017! Last year my segments throughout April painted a puzzled tapestry of prose and I hope to provide some new, entertaining stories that you'll enjoy!
Come share in my inky dreams full of fiction, sprinkled with poetry!
The A to Z Challenge 2017 is over and it's time to reflect on how the event went! There were booster pack openings, there were storylines and mechanics to observe within the world of Magic: The Gathering!
Join me as I discuss the ups and downs of this year's Magic Mixer theme.
This year for the A to Z Challenge 2017 Meta MTG presents the Magic Mixer! What's that mean? Your guess is as good as mine... What I do know, however, is that this year's theme is obviously still all about Magic: The Gathering!
Join me as I attempt to highlight a different Magic set each day of the challenge in different ways, from pack openings to discussions about a set's storyline and/or mechanics!

It’s been a long while. I briefly discuss some of this year’s shortcomings, and in doing so, find it’s just more of the same.
Then I attempt to give a more positive spin…
Extra Life Game Day 2021 has arrived! It’s Year 8 for myself and I am looking forward to once again raise money for Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare. Team Cryton Crusaders is ready (kind of) for the annual fundraising event involving a 24-Hour Gaming Marathon! I kept last year’s fun, but likely impossible Milestone to reach!
Learn more about the challenge where my team and I play games and heal kids!
