Life Ramblings. By Me. For Me. But You're Welcome to Follow Along.
This next entry focuses on a co-op deduction game that borrows from another game known as Telephone. It can potentially play in 15 Min or less, and there are very few rules whatsoever, so it definitely classifies as a Gateway/Filler game.
A strong caveat, however, is that you need exactly four players to play...
Next up is a game about Big Business. It's not overly complicated, though the scoring kind of confused me, to be honest, but there is a lot of direct player interaction of a nature that may not be for everyone. Let's find out.
Ubongo has come and gone, and it's time to move on to our next...
This next entry is another game that qualifies as both a Gateway and Filler. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to offer up a "U" beyond Uno, and I have been intentionally avoiding classics whenever possible. Though, I wasn't opposed to variants of classics since many people may not know of them. As it turns out, I was invited to a Game Night by a friend of my regular gaming group. The host ended up having thousands of games in his collection!
So that night alone I fulfilled my experience quota of "U", "V", and "Y" games, which I was still needing to figure out. The collection was amazing! This entry, a game that reminds me of Tetris, is...
Splendor made for an excellent Christmas gift. It's light, fun, and fairly accessible to people with varying levels of gaming experience. But what if I had given a panda? The receiver of the gift would then have to tend to its needs by starting a bamboo garden. But what if the panda was constantly eating all of the bamboo?!
That is a similar tale told in our next entry in which the Emperor of China bestows the gift of a panda to the Emperor of Japan, as a token of peace, in a garden full of...
Our next entry is not only a favorite of the playgroup I attend once or twice a week, but also the Ladyfolk. So much so that she gets fairly irritated if I ever forget to bring it (which is often...) to our own Game Nights with friends and family. To be fair, I could be reminded...
Anyhow, all we're ever trying to do is live a life full 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!
