Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Denver and the surrounding area is privileged to house a variety of companies that offer board games or arcade games to play. Playing games stretches your mind and gives you the opportunity to create bonds with friends and strangers alike so who doesn't want to visit the below places? Plus, they usually offer food and…
I get to park in the garage again at work! Due to my position, I am given free parking at my work, a real luxury. This past school year I was given access to an outdoor parking lot, which really wasn’t that bad except these past few months the sun has been beating down on…
I'm taking a cue from Tested, a Youtube channel I subscribe to, and creating a 2017 Favorite Things list. Although I was going for only 5 items, my list is actually 6 because it couldn't be helped. Colored Hue light bulbs Got these light bulbs from the Amazon Treasure Truck last month with the thought…
Today I played Seven Wonders Dual, the other game that Gene and I got for the two of us to play. This one took longer to learn but it was fun. This is another strategy game and it's tough because you're trying to win but also prevent the other player from winning at the same…
Last night we played our Pathfinder game again because of the adventure pack Gene got from my parents for Christmas. Since we hadn't played in at least four months (we were focusing our time on Pandemic Legacy) we were a tiny bit rusty but we did okay. We kinda sorta won the game but since…

Gene and I visited my parents this weekend to celebrate birthdays and see one another. Kaitlin and Kevin came too and brought EG, who is now one year old! We played a variety of games, including Mysterium, a game that my parents got Gene for his birthday. I enjoyed it but I think we need…
Thanksgiving was lovely yesterday. It started with me dancing to music and ended with me winning a game and eating my homemade pecan pie. In between was filled with prepping the rest of the food, visiting with the housemates and our friends, playing Concept, and of course, eating. Everything turned out great - even the…
Wednesday, the housemates and I went back to Board Game Republic for their monthly trivia night. Returning champions, we were fairly confident our skills from the previous session would carry over. We were wrong - we got last place. As Gene put it, we had stiffer competition this time. According to him, we actually did…
Our Pathfinder game was successful last night with Elisabeth giving the final blow to the villain of the night - a floating head. Although the Pathfinder game we are playing is quite difficult with new mechanics we’re getting used to and have been doing quite well. I believe we only had to replay a game…
