Some game mechanics just aren’t for me. I talked about that in my latest board game blog post: bit.ly/4aFnGDp

We finally got to play Compile, an AI-themed lane-battler in a crowded genre. How does it compare to its counterparts?

January brought four new games into the mix. Digital plays took a hit. In-person plays increased.

Had my buddy over for a fun game night a couple of weeks ago. We played the newest Unmatched Adventures for the first time and also tabled some small box favorites.

With little kids at home, getting games to the table is tough. Here, I take a look at the godsend that is BGA, my most played games on the platform, and some of my recent favorites: bit.ly/4qn0ccD

I don't really like co-op games. I'll rarely choose to play one. There are a select few, however, that I do enjoy. Check out my latest!

Hundreds of games exist, and not all land. Here are some that fell flat for me, even if a few are widely loved.

I've visited a lot of board game stores since getting into the hobby back in 2019. I wrote about some of my favorites in the latest Board Gaming with Bapter: bit.ly/45lAFYG

With the holiday season in full swing, here’s a list of games I want right now (yesterday would also work), but given where life currently sits… this is probably, definitely, a pipe dream: bit.ly/4auEpuF

Gotcha. Yeah it’s slowed down for me unless it’s a small box game. Unfortunately opening up the chambers of how my brain works would be more of a short story.
Sorry the post wasn’t what you thought, but I appreciate you checking it out.
Board games are everywhere, but when one grabs my attention, all hell breaks loose. I plunge into the familiar spiral of research, overthinking, hyper focusing, and existential dread, which is DEFINITELY normal, right?!

An 85% dip from 2023 to 2025 when it comes to in-person board gaming?! Sad face. Hopefully there will be a small increase next year? Having kids is no excuse!

Some board games need a better home. Others deserve the same home, unplayed and on a shelf 😆. Latest post is up: open.substack.com/pub/bapterga...

….and it continued today!
Ever since Clank! Digital released, I’ve been wanting to play it more in person. Three times in the last couple of weeks.
Unfortunately, I haven’t made it out of the dungeon in any of those games. Here’s to hoping fourth time is a charm!
