I started this blog to share my thoughts on boardgaming and to practice some of my software development skills. It has since evolved into much more, enjoy!

Eclipse
September 22, 2026
Basically Twilight Imperium lite, a 4x on a hexagon space map with lots of ship battles. It strips out a lot of TIs complexity and adds in some new improvements. Dice chucking is actually a bigger part then I expected. You build the map during play which I really enjoyed and tech upgrade availability is random and limited. Scoring is more point salad style which made it harder to know who is winning and what the right thing to focus on is. Overall I did enjoy it and would play again, not a TI killer for me but definitely up there.

The Day of the Triffids - John Wayne

I really enjoyed reading this. It's basically the original 28 Days Later, waking up in a hospital after an apocalypse. Basically the world has gone blind and there is a newly discovered plant that is able to move and kill people. It's kind of horrifying and very dark at times but also very analytical. It reminded me a lot of War of the Worlds which I also really enjoyed. 4/5
