A Deep Regrets story – Day One
During one of the Casual Fridays, instead of jumping into a session, Rachel decided to sit back, followed the game play from the sidelines, and turn what she observed into a short story. And that’s how this short story piece came about. I thought this is a refreshing change of pace as it offers a narrative departure from the usual game reviews, sessreps, and board game news. Hope you enjoy the read!
BGC Casual Friday CF105
We pivoted from OTK Fridays to Casual Fridays post-COVID. And somehow we’ve hosted over a hundred sessions since – without a single sessrep. While that’s a symptom of just how busy the biz has been keeping us, it’s also a regret (tho a shallow one) that we can’t get back to sessrepping. With that said, we broke the duck with the 1st sessrep for Casual Friday. Welcome back! And a little bonus for you at the end of the sessrep.
BGC OTK 18xx Day is back!
With us slowly getting back into Meetups in this RMCO period, we were glad to be able to check-off one 18xx session this month. Here’s a recap of our session last Sat where 10 ppl explored choo-choo trains in Czech Republic and Mexico.
BGC OTK Twilight Xmas Meetup 28/12/19

BGC OTK Age of Steam Friday Meetup 7/2/20
With the new AGE OF STEAM Deluxe Edition now readily available and a batch of new maps from AV Studio, it’s time for OTK to revisit one of our top faves. Find out what we thought of the PANAMA, SWITZERLAND and VIETNAM expansion maps.
The Orient Express now departs from OTK….. err, once a year?
To many, the Orient Express is a once-a-lifetime adventure given how prohibitive a ticket is. Likewise the 18OE Orient Express (one of the many 18xx titles we at OTK enjoy) could be a once-a-lifetime experience given how prohibitively long the playtime is (12hrs min?). Anyway we decided to give this game a spin on a mid-week public holiday. Read on to get a good overview of how this game plays out, and where next for the Orient Express?
An accidental re-visit of a lost “classic”
An accidental stumble into a video posted by Wilhelmsen to their Facebook page about the port of BREMERHAVEN prompted me to revisit this 2013 classic.

OTK Meetup 1/5/2015–Thru the 2 Ages

OTK Meetup 5/9/2014–Granja Farming
We’ve not been doing theme nights for awhile at OTK so we thought of going back to themes for this Friday. And one theme we’ve not done is FARMING. AGRICOLA likely comes to your mind first, however since most gamers would have been acquainted with that game, we thought of bringing out some lesser known “farm” theme games. Let’s walk thru OTK’s Farming Night and see why Ganja farms best for four. 😛
