You know those times when you think you have everything under control, and then life decides to throw you a new challenger? It’s been an interesting time, to say the least. Nothing bad, nothing terrible, just a lot. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t get any gaming in last week, and I have some fun gaming plans for this week. Gotta concentrate on the positive! 
Welcome to the return of the lists! And what better way to start the year than my Top 10 Board Games That I Actually Played in 2019!
Well, 2019 gaming came back with a vengeance! Thanks to some Alpal acquisitions, 4 new board games on the table this week 
A fair bit of gaming now I look back at it! Solo board game wise, Hostage Negotiator and some Escape the Dark Castle was played, as well as Downforce and Dragon’s Breath with other players. Colt Express also dominated game night last week! Video game wise, Destiny 2 Forsaken and Octopath Traveler have been my games of choice.
It’s no secret Escape the Dark Castle has rocketed to a top five position in many of my gaming categories. I was already weighing up getting the first expansion soon, or next month. Well, the decision has been made for me – it’s on Kickstarter, as well as brand new content!
In today’s Blatherings, Alpal and I hope you will enjoy us playing through Escape the Dark Castle! Hope you enjoy it
Want to know a game that the rest of the world seems to love, but Tom Vasel hates? Welcome to Escape the Dark Castle! This is my favourite quick cooperative/solo game in a long time!
It’s another Monday! Why are weekends so short? To get you started, Terry Crews will recap Brooklyn Nine-Nine Seasons 1-5, a reminder E3 is coming, and a sneak peek at content for this week’s Blatherings!
This week, it’s more about things that are about to happen, including newly purchased games and changes to the Blatherings! Also, I give my first impressions on the new Destiny 2 Warmind expansion.
