Pandemic Legacy ~ card/board Entertainment

You and your team are used to conquering viruses. In fact, you do it all the time! But this year, something is different….

If you’d asked me a while back, what I thought the highlight of 2020 would be… playing a board game about a pandemic while in the MIDST of an actual pandemic… probably wouldn’t have even crossed my mind.

But, here we are.

Today, I’m going to give you a feel for what it’s like playing Pandemic Legacy (without giving too many spoilers… because that’s a thing with this game!)

Board Game Reviews: Input Needed!

As I’ve mentioned in a couple of different posts now, I’m going to be adding Board Game Reviews to my regularly scheduled blog posts. I’ll be kicking off this new feature next Monday with a post about Pandemic Legacy Seasons 1 and 2.

But after that… I could use your help!

We play a lot of board games.

We also own a lot of board games.

But I’d love to talk about games that YOU, dear Reader, are most curious about or interested in!

March Nightstand Books + February Adventures and Episodes

Alas! February has drawn to a close, and now a new month is upon us!

But it was an incredibly fun February is Fantasy Month event! I’m still catching up on READING blog posts, so if I haven’t swung by and commented, never fear, I’ll make it over soon. Thank you so much to everyone who participated, commented, posted, shared photos, and just generally made me feel like not-a-failure for everything being a little different this year.

In fact, I think laid-back worked way better than my frantic hectic posting-every-day, and we shall probably stick to this sort of schedule in the future!

Today, I’m combining my end of the month Adventures and Episodes post with the monthly Nightstand Books post, as we were on a quick and short family vacation over the final weekend of February.

Fantasy Month Finale + Something New

Sadly, all good things must come to an end. Or so the story goes.

It’s been a fantastical, magical month celebrating fandoms with you all. And I hope that you enjoyed this year’s slightly more laid-back installment of Fantasy Month. I know I did.

Epic Wizard Face-Off: Chrestomanci vs Howl

Anyone here a fan of Diana Wynne Jones?

As I was thinking up posts for #FantasyMonth, I realized that this topic would fit well in the “fandom” category, as well as lead into a fun event that happens every year called “March Magics.”

The Ultimate Star Versus Battle

There is something wrong with that title. But I like it.

I know, I know, in my IG prompt-list, the question was simply Star Trek vs Star Wars. But I’m feeling ornery and I’m throwing Stargate into the mix because I can. Also, because I love it.

Also, for those of you who are going to be annoyed about Star Trek being included in “Fantasy Month”… I don’t really know what to tell you. We’re just breaking all the rules this year. And I kinda like it.
