I’ve been playing games since ~2010 and decided I wanted to start writing down my thoughts on games somewhere. I enjoy all sorts of games, from party games with big groups right through to heavy 6 hour euro games. The goal for my reviews is to highlight often unmentioned downsides to games, nitpicking the things that just don’t make sense or could have been done better. While most games I intend to review will be games I’ve enjoyed, I think it’s a great idea to discuss negative aspects of otherwise good games.

As a child, I played classic games like Monopoly, Mousetrap, and Trouble, and then I didn’t play many board games again until 2011. That was the year a friend introduced me to the wonders of modern board gaming with a game called Zombies!!! After that I purchased Carcassone, and then there was no looking back.
I’m pretty easygoing about the type of games I play, though I don’t often play heavier games or social deduction games. The mechanisms I most enjoy are worker and/or tile placement, and I love playing games that feel like they have a puzzle to solve.
Board games are a huge source of joy in my life. Not only do I love playing, but I also enjoy recommending games, teaching others how to play, and bringing new people into the hobby. Through this blog and my Instagram, I hope to share my passion for board games with you and help you find games that will bring you joy too.

Even though we both grew up playing classic games with our families, our journey into modern gaming only started in 2017 when we decided to attend a local convention. The game library opened our eyes to all the amazing games out there and we’ve been hooked ever since! We enjoy a variety of games from quick and easy card games to mid-heavy Euro games, just don’t ask us to play anything that requires speed! We started sharing our love of games on Instagram nearly 2 years ago and our goal is to focus on the 2-player gaming experience, since we mostly play together. We hope our thoughts will help you work out which games are great to play at 2p, and which games you should save to play with a larger group.

I have only been playing boardgames for a few years, but love sharing my thoughts with new people to bring them into this wonderful hobby! My favourite game mechanic would have to be worker placement, but I am always up for trying new mechanics and learning new games. My tastes vary from quick, light games to mid-heavy euros, depending on who I game with. I am always on the look out for cool new games and am keen to help others hopefully find some gems through our honest reviews and unboxings.
