Kicking things off...

Hey, yall:

So, this idea was born on Twitter, as all good ideas are. I got a few likes on a post (not many, tbh, but enough) and decided to start a blog on this site about my other great passion (not writing): hobby board games. 

This first post is just the introduction to the series, and I figured the best way to begin would be to outline some of the topics I'll be covering:

• Reviews: I'll review games I've played or games I own. Bits in this type of post will include component reviews, comments on the art and presentation, gameplay, and overall rating (on a scale of 10). Keep in mind that I'll only be reviewing games I already own or like to play, so these will be overwhelmingly positive.
• Industry news/trends/discussion: I consume a lot of board game media -- podcasts, YouTube channels, other blogs, etc. I'm not going to be breaking any news, here; I'll merely be reporting anything of substance that seems particularly noteworthy or chiming in on some of the hot topics that have been going around the interwebs.
• ​Lists: Who doesn't love a good list? I'll be ranking favorite types of games, game mechanisms, components and bits, etc.
• Recommendations: I get asked a LOT about what games are good for X players or what types of games I like, and that really was the genesis of this project in the first place. Someone on Twitter asked for some good games for them and their partner, and I figured I had enough to say on the topic that I could collate it all into one spot instead of having it lost to the ether or just isolated in a PM.
  

So, stay tuned for my first series of lists -- my favorite games to introduce to new(er) gamers to get acclimated to the world of board games beyond Risk, Monopoly, and Scattergories.
