Lonely evening

What's going on everyone!? Today my lovely wife had to work yet another 16 hour shift so unfortunately she wasn't able to play a game with me. My beautiful daughter agreed to play a game with me while we were talking over dinner but shortly after she had fallen asleep after a long day at school.

So I once again turned to Star Realms Mobile. This time looking for a random opponent. I found one and we had it out at the game. At first I was doing pretty good but out of nowhere they commenced to kicking my butt and got the win!

It was a close game at the end and I had a blast as always but tomorrow I'm hoping to get a physical game or two to the table!

What's in your Heaaad...

What's going on everyone!? Today has been a rather meh kind of day. Pain, rain, cold and rain. Not much fun at all with my back and neck problems to be honest.

But alas, I did in fact make it through the day(although it seemed like the day just wouldn't stop. I managed to collect myself long enough to get a game of Zombie Dice Solo in!

I'm currently at my personal record of 18 brains as of tonight!

Elusive Internet!

What's going on everyone!? Today for the "Game a Day" challenge my lovely wife and I played a quick game of Star Realms Mobile before bed. It was a LONG day and we didn't have the energy to setup/take down a larger game.

She ended up kicking my butt as usual but I still love playing and have just as much fun as ever! :)

Unfortunately, we've also been having some problems with our internet the past day or so. It's made it a little hard to stay online and in contact with everyone.

Fish and Strikes

What's going on everyone!? Today for the "Game a Day" challenge my dear ol' pops and I played a game of Harbour and then some Bowling with Dice. It was a great time and he beat me overall in both games!

I can't wait to play some more again!

Space Battles!

What's going on everyone!? Today for the "Game a Day" challenge my lovely wife and I played some Star Realms Mobile. I wasn't feeling to well so I decided to play a game that was a little more convenient today.

In the beginning it seemed I was doing alright but by mid-game it was clear that I was fighting a losing battle. My lovely wife ended up delivering the killing blow and grabbed yet another win from me, lol!

Gaming and Co...mpany

What's going on everyone!? Today for the "Game a Day" challenge we got to play a few games. I didn't get many pics since we were at a friends house and enjoying the time unwinding after this stressful past couple of weeks. We did get to play Bowling Dice, Dungeon Dice and Roll For It.

All in all it was a pretty good evening and I enjoyed the stress free evening other than my horrid back pains that have been relentless lately.

Here is the only pic I had time to grab when I remembered:

Spare time...

What's going on everyone!? Today has been quite the lonely day here at Blackburn Castle. My daughter is staying over her friends house again tonight and my wife is working a double today. This means that I could have actually stayed and helped my dear ol' pops and kept an eye on him for one more day. :/

On top of that, the local annual festival is going on this weekend and as nice as it would have been to go and clear my mind, I can't make it due to not being able to talk a walk so far.

So today for the "Game a Day" challenge I decided to play a quick game that I picked up yesterday while I was with my dear ol' pops. Unfortunately him and I didn't get a chance to play it like I had hoped so I played it today.

It's a fun little bowling dice game but something tells me it would be more fun with others to play this particular game with.

Home again

What's going on everyone!? Today was the last day I was able to stay with dear ol' pops before heading back home. Because of this there was a lot done today to spend as much time together as possible. I also managed to get stung by a yellow jacket which I'm allergic to... Oh what fun...


For today's "Game a Day" challenge my lovely wife and I played a game of Star Realms Mobile after we got home and headed to bed.

It was a fairly close game and I got the win! But it kind of feels like a "hollow victory" because she was so tired she was falling asleep while we were playing our match. To that I say, not bad at all for half asleep! :)

Dice rolling!

What's going on everyone!? Today my dear ol' dad is doing a little better than yesterday. Tonight for the "Game a Day" challenge we decided to play Roll For It! in PALADIN'S KEEP!!!

It was a blast playing the game with him. Took just enough time and a great experience with him taking the win! Before that we had watched Star Trek the 2009 movie which was as awesome as I can remember.

Cards and Company

What's going on everyone!? Today has been a VERY hectic day with my dear ol' pops having his heart surgery. Thankfully he made it through as best as possible and we're now back at his house. Not much is different as far as the bad news goes with his heart but we're thankful he made it through the surgery with minimal complications.

Now we just have to wait for his checkup on Monday to see what is actually going to happen next. Because of the eventful day, I'm spending time with him at his house helping him out as needed with everyday tasks that he's very limited to now.

So this evening for the "Game a Day" challenge, him and I played a game of Mint Tin Aliens on his bed. It was a great time and I BARELY won. It was fun teaching him a game he's not played yet and it's also a great game for traveling as I've mentioned plenty of times before.

All in all, today was as good a day as possible. I'm just very glad to still have him with us.

The Big Day...

What's going on everyone!? Well, tomorrow is the big day for my dear ol' pops to go in for his heart surgery. It's a scary time but I'm hoping the best as it's all I can do. Tonight we are spending the night at his house so that we can be there with him at the hospital tomorrow.

Because of this, you can imagine I brought quite a few games with us to play here and at the hospital to keep him company. Tonight we played some Yahtzee with the AWESOME PALADIN'S KEEP which you can check out on kickstarter right now HERE! I can not stress enough how awesome and convenient this thing is!

It was a great game and surprisingly I actually won!

SPIKE IT!

What's going on everyone!? Today for the "Game a Day" challenge I let my dear ol' pops pick a game to play and his choice was The Last Spike!

So my lovely wife, dear ol' pops and I sat down for a great session of a great game. It's one of those strategic games that I really like where placement and order is key.

At the end of the game, we counted up our money and my lovely wife just BARELY got the win from me with 198k. My dear ol' pops came in at 146k and I came in at 191k.

As usual, it was a GREAT time and I always love playing games with them.

Dad's HOUSE!

What's going on everyone!? Today for the "Game a Day" challenge my lovely wife, dear ol' pops and I played Sequence!

It's an older card and token game and it's always fun to play. It's gotta be in the top 5 for my dear ol' pops and he's GOOD at it too! In a matter of minutes we played one game and he won right away. It went so quickly that we decided to play another game of it. In what must have been even SHORTER time, he won that one as well!

Win or lose it's always great to sit down and play a game with my family.

I AM GOATMAN!

What's going on everyone!? Today for the "Game a Day" challenge my lovely wife, dear ol' pops and I played a fun little card game called Goat Lords. It's a set collection and "take that" game and I lost..lol.

All in all it was a good time with laughs and cursing across the table. I wouldn't mind playing it again sometime soon.
