Back in my day 04: My Rise & Fall in Warhammer/40K and Non-Friendly Gaming stores Rant


(Click on the Picture above for the linked Video described below)

In this post, I reminisce about how I started the miniature hobby in 1995 briefly (As I have done a full video about that linked below) and how the main reasons why I fell out of the hobby fully in 2013 after about 17 years. Of which I explain my reasons why a particular store in Singapore called Leisure Craft, now called Paradigm Infinitum are the kind of local gaming stores that are not only not friendly but chases people (beginner or otherwise) out of the hobby. 

Hope you enjoy and till next word...

Level Up 14: Castellan Surround rule (Boardgame by Steve Jackson Games)

In this episode of Level Up, I explain the extra rule I use when I play Castellan. This rule I feel adds more to the long term strategic planning of the game of top of which is already there.

Back in my day 03: My Boardgame Renaissance (A Story & Thank You for Boardgaming)

(Click on the Picture above for the linked Video described below)

In this post, I reminisce about my start in Boardgaming and my thanks to companies like Fantasy Flight for 'Elder Sign' (My first game) to the many Youtube channels for their great reviews & playthroughs that helped me to make informed purchases. This came from the fall of previous hobbies mentioned in the video but I do not regret it in turn for all the smiles I got from Boardgames. 

Hope you enjoy and till next word...
