Illuminating Games: Pathfinder Adventure Cardgame
http://illuminatinggames.blogspot.com/2014/02/pathfinder-adventure-cardgame.html
Chris' thoughts, rants, and essays on the world of gaming. Thursday, February 27, 2014. For a guy who ostensibly thinks dungeon-crawling is stupid, I sure have played a lot of games in that genre of late. The latest is Pathfinder: The Adventure Card Game. A cooperative game from Paizo Publishing, and it's not bad. The time and some of them require a significant energy investment while Pathfinder is more lightweight. Besides, D&D is more than a game now, it’s become something of a cultural touch...I threw...

I can also be found on Tumblr. Now, and as usual I'm on Twitter. Stopping in American cities before eventually finding freedom in Canada, all while trying to dodge the slave catchers.

Illuminating Games: A Distant Plain
http://illuminatinggames.blogspot.com/2014/03/a-distant-plain.html
Chris' thoughts, rants, and essays on the world of gaming. Sunday, March 2, 2014. I have moved over to WordPress – check out the new digs. If you want to get join the discussion). Although I wasn’t very impressed by Andean Abyss. I’m still intrigued by the idea of GMT’s COIN game system, so I went up to EndGame. In Oakland to join in their biweekly(ish) wargaming group to try to give A Distant Plain a fair shot. Also like Andean Abyss, I remain somewhat frustrated by how superficially A Distant Plain tre...
Illuminating Games: October 2013
http://illuminatinggames.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Chris' thoughts, rants, and essays on the world of gaming. Thursday, October 31, 2013. I've been wanting to write something about Tzolk'in for quite some time. It's a game I had to be convinced to even try – my experience with CGE has been mixed, and the gears struck me as a gimmick. When I finally got around to trying it though, I liked it a lot and it's almost cracked 10 plays. If you're short food, which you often will be, there is nothing for it but to go to Palenque. Even though Tzolk'in plays smoot...

nimrods: Sunday part 2
http://nimrods.blogspot.com/2010/09/sunday-part-2.html
On being a boardgame geek. Friday, September 24, 2010. I still rate this as a very good game indeed, probably an 8, but a game of this complexity and length needs to be the main event. Definitely not a wind-down game. (Chicago Express or Nexus Ops might have been a better choice.). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Theres something about Maria. In which we plays Blackbeard, me lads. A happy time with the Unhappy King. Homeopathy at OK Corral. Time enough for Ra. Our pledge to you.

https://linnaeus.wordpress.com/2010/02
Archive for February, 2010 Monthly archive page. My Review of Race for the Galaxy: Rebel vs. Imperium. Race for the galaxy. On February 16th, 2010. My review of Race for the Galaxy: Rebel vs. Imperium. Was posted to Game Cryer. A couple of days ago, and I naturally assume some of my readership would be curious🙂. Feel free to comment, but if you’re getting into nitty gritty stuff like specific cards and strategies, it’s probably best to do it here where you won’t scare the norms😉. On February 3rd, 2010.
nimrods: July 2010
http://nimrods.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
On being a boardgame geek. Monday, July 19, 2010. Always confirm the venue. I arranged to meet Sam yesterday at 9:30am for a game of 1825. At 9:50 I was starting to worry - has he forgotten? Has he been knocked off his bike? At 9:50 Sam was also sitting at home wondering where I had got to. It turns out we had both assumed we were going to meet at our own place. Thursday, July 15, 2010. The power of information. This is the age of the internet! Isn't the internet great? Sunday, July 11, 2010. I think Ted...
nimrods: In which we plays Blackbeard, me lads.
http://nimrods.blogspot.com/2010/09/in-which-we-plays-blackbeard-me-lads.html
On being a boardgame geek. Thursday, September 16, 2010. In which we plays Blackbeard, me lads. Something else we played at Nick's last weekend was Blackbeard (GMT's new edition). Danni easily beat Nick and me, storming ahead in notoriety and booty after sacking Portobello. This is a fun game, though poor Nick spent most of the game scanning the rules for us. He was effectively a full-time GM so it's hardly surprising he came in last. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Theres something about Maria.

nimrods: August 2010
http://nimrods.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
On being a boardgame geek. Thursday, August 19, 2010. What a lovely surprise - World War 2! I have the loveliest wife imaginable. She has no interest in military history - in fact I suspect she is rather appalled by the idea - but yesterday she presented me with Anthony Beevor's "D-Day". What a great gift! Must get Breakout Normandy. On the table again! Tuesday, August 03, 2010. Key to my victory - thinking hard. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What a lovely surprise - World War 2! The (New) Tao of Gaming.

http://nimrods.blogspot.com/2011/11/so-i-finally-got-to-play-high-frontier.html
On being a boardgame geek. Sunday, November 13, 2011. So I finally got to play "High Frontier" on Saturday. I persuaded Nick Simon and Iain to come over to Wood Green for a Big Games Day, and spent weeks preparing for the big day by studying the rules over and over. It's not that it's a complicated game - every one of us has mastered more complicated games - but it's unfamiliar, so not much in the way of conceptual landmarks. Having said that - I loved it! Simon and Nick both seemed to enjoy it too, both...
nimrods: December 2010
http://nimrods.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
On being a boardgame geek. Saturday, December 25, 2010. Friday, December 17, 2010. Darren was so inspired by the game that he resolved to buy it immediately, regardless of the OTT prices being achieved on eBay these days. We finished with a round of Race for the Galaxy, where I managed to scrape a last-turn win against Sam's Spartan war-machine. Very satisfying. Thursday, December 09, 2010. It's all laid out on the table awaiting my first solo play-through. Looking forward to it. The (New) Tao of Gaming.
nimrods: November 2009
http://nimrods.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
On being a boardgame geek. Sunday, November 15, 2009. Failing to clear Colleville actually. I feel a bit torn about ASL - it's a terrific fun game, and it's great to have a little ASL community on the doorstep. But there are so many other great wargames out there that I also want to explore. But having opponents available makes a huge difference. It's nowhere near so much fun wargaming solo or online.

Illuminating Games | Chris' thought, essays, and rants on the world of gaming
Chris' thought, essays, and rants on the world of gaming. Droids, Midichlorians, and Orcs: Dealing with problematic canon. March 17, 2015. I ran into this in my Star Wars: Age of Rebellion game. I had a player who had chosen a droid PC with Droid Rights as her motivation. This is cool because it’s a theme the movies raise but don’t explore: droids obviously have some degree of sentience, but are treated as property, which seems wrong. And what possible narrative purpose could it serve to do so? Then thro...
