Alcohol Ramadan
This actually doesn’t even have anything to do with my wife and her family being Muslims – it was on Rouge’s blog that I found fitting inspiration. How about, we alter Ramadan a bit and make it, instead of an “eat only while the sun isn’t up”, a “drink no alcohol” month? Well, good plan [...]
Review: Twilight Imperium
This game is one I’ve been looking forward to actually playing for quite some time now. I bought Twilight Imperium 3rd Ed. (or TI3 in short, official site) and its expansion, Shattered Empire, quite some time ago, but alas, finding a time when everybody has time to actually sit together and play a game that [...]
