“Truly, there is no sentence yet uttered that could not be made greater with the inclusion of a pun.”

– Woodrow ‘Wordplay’ Wilson, 28th President of the United States.

This week we are celebrating comic number 150. That’s over three years of weekly comics, and a very big deal for us. If you’re reading this, we want to thank you. You are why we do this. If you want to help us celebrate, there is no better way than to leave us a comment, and join the conversation. Tell us what you’re playing, what you think of the comic. Give us a Catan pun. If you are feeling particularly generous, tell your game-playing friends all about us! Like, share, tweet, etc. That’s always a big help, and makes a difference.

 

This week, after a long sabbatical, I have returned to playing my beloved X-Wing Miniatures Game. I got to play a few games during the week, and my love for the game has not diminished in the slightest. Its mix of fast-paced flying and serious tactical thinking made it my most played game of last year, and I think that might be the case again this year. I have played a lot of great games so far this year, but it would take something really special to knock X-Wing off the top spot for me.

 

Thanks again for sticking with us for 150 comics, and if you have just joined us recently, welcome to our own little corner of the board game internet. We hope you feel welcome, and we would love it if you said hello. We are all about making board games the most fun they can be. We truly believe board games are for everyone, and should never be taken too seriously. It’s a game, after all. If you’re not having fun with it then you are probably doing something wrong.
