START HERE and Welcome...

Semper Fi. The flag raising on Iwo Jima

Wrong think is honored here. You don't like what I like or how I review, NO PROBLEM!  It's ok.

Short and sweet... For what it is worth, here it is. Nothing to brag about or get much excited about. My thoughts, right or wrong.

No computer or console or phone games here, they are too complicated.

And you may have noticed, not a lot of the "big" games. There is a reason and here it is - if it is more than 4 to 6 pages of rules, I get confused. It takes forever it seems to even learn and play a small game. 

I have a brain tumor, it is in the right frontal lobe and yes, it does have a fancy name, but I can't remember it. I have fought it to where it is now small but still there and hopefully not growing as I can't have anymore MRIs to check on it. It's a hard fight, but every day is a victory. Besides, who knows how long any of us has left on this earth.

If you need to get hold of me, here is my email - roorunner@gmail.  Be warned that I get more spam than anything I have ever seen before and these jerk-wads won't stop.  

Note: Changes to everything - The price of the games on this blog have changed as has everything. I will use "$*" as my catch all for the costs of games, cards, and what have you. 

And no, I will not go back and change the reviews to the correct price, just be aware if you see a price, it is probably not correct. This blog has been here since 2017.   

 Also, if I can find the stuff I made for some of the games, I will put up them up as a .png in the review so you can copy it if you want.

Everything is an opinion - every blog, YouTube page, website on reviewing games is just that, a presented opinion.  My opinion is no one else's, just mine. That is why I don't do a "Top 10" list or "Best of 20XX", or anything like that. What one may say is a Top 10 is probably bullshit to another and generally shows what the post maker likes. Of course designers eat this up, lol, they love "Best of..." lists.

Hopefully, what I do here will help you to try out a game. And if it is one your "Top 10", then by gosh, I am happy for ya.

Note - comments are now "ON".

Links are now in purple. (actually some other color until I can get this new theme figured out) Yeah, yeah, I know. I needed a colour fast so I could make sure they were working....

I post here on the blog as I can't do you tube. I don't have the ability to learn new software, the equipment, or talk correctly without sounding like I am mental.  But I can blog with the written word - wrongly.

Notice that on the bottom of each review is now a link to the Veteran's Crisis Line.  If you know of anyone or even yourself that could use these services, it is free and please, do call them.  It's confidential, but it could be a life saver of someone you know or yourself. (I know these are GREAT folks- vets like you and me).  

Us Veterans both retired and AD are dropping dead for various reasons, such as "survivor's guilt" by our own hand each day.  It need not be...
