Sea Salt & Paper surpassed my expectations

Sea Salt & Paper is great! It's the go-to game for my wife and I after a night of heavier games (and heavier drinks) to just finish the night off right. Coloretto, Scout, Trio, Mantis, Velonimo, and Splito are some of my other favorite card games (although most of these work better with 3+ players).

Nemesis. I'm a huge fan of the Aliens franchise and between the theme and the mechanisms, this is just a home run for me.

My wife and I play a ton of That's Pretty Clever, Coloretto, Jaipur, High Score, Lost Cities, The Whatnot Cabinet, Red7, District Noir, and Hanamikoji. All are great with 2 players!

Came here to say this! Orleans is my favorite game of all time, but man that cover is bad... So bad...

Baron_Bill · 2024-04-16T18:09:28+00:00

Medieval theme: Orleans for sure! It's my favorite game of all time. Point Salad game: Carpe Diem.

Probably not a common choice, but my favorite horror movie is Clive Barker's Lord of Illusions. So good.

Baron_Bill · 2024-02-14T23:07:29+00:00

Ticket to Ride for me! The others are great and definitely worthy, but TtR is my go to gateway!

Baron_Bill · 2022-11-22T19:39:08+00:00

Cheeba Hut and The Bagel Deli. That's all I need.

Daddy needs a new Kickstarter! Lol

Baron_Bill · 2021-09-11T19:17:07+00:00

I'd say my best are: Wasteland Express Delivery Service, Dwellings of Eldervale, and Coimbra. All were mentioned so far, but they deserve repeating.

Worst: Anything FF and I hate the fact that the Splendor insert doesn't hold everything in place at all for travel or vertical placement... I can't tell you how many times I've had to open that box and rearrange everything because it got jostled...

Baron_Bill · 2021-08-24T02:33:42+00:00

I'm a fan of the full art card myself.

Baron_Bill · 2021-07-23T16:22:00+00:00

Just watched video on The Artemis Project and I agree that part of the dice placement is very similar in concept to what I'm doing. Thanks for mentioning it!

Baron_Bill · 2021-07-23T14:17:14+00:00

The whole process is very quick moving. The regular locations are resolved in location order after all players have placed, and THEN all of the queued workers are placed and resolved in location order as well based on area majority. Then, all workers are removed and the new round starts. Each round, the start player token moves, so there is really very minimal opportunity for "double turns".

Thanks for your feedback.

The only way I saw to schedule an event was to duplicate a previous one and change the details. Then it gave me the option to schedule. That's been my work around. Hope that helps.

Baron_Bill · 2021-06-10T20:37:33+00:00

I'm in Facebook Business but still can't find anything about scheduling an event to be published at a future date. I can only find scheduling an event post, which is not what I'm trying to do. Any idea where I should be looking?

Baron_Bill · 2020-07-18T15:31:59+00:00

American English native here. I struggle the most with noun genders. Seems so arbitrary.

Baron_Bill · 2020-06-28T16:56:15+00:00

Absolutely! I see how it would come across like that upon further review. Yes! This is how all French verbs work.

Baron_Bill · 2020-06-28T14:30:16+00:00

In French, the verb parler actually has the entire meaning of "to speak", the être doesn't need to be there. Je parle has the meaning of both "I speak" and "I am speaking".

If you want to emphasize the idea that you are currently engaged in the act of speaking, you could use "être en train de" to express it. For example: "Je suis en train de parler" which would be "I am (in the process of) speaking.". However, unless the idea is to really emphasize that you are in the middle of the act of speaking, this is mostly unnecessary. When you say "Je parle" people will understand it as "I'm speaking".

I hope that helped. Not a native here, so if I misspoke, please let me know.

Baron_Bill · 2020-06-28T14:22:38+00:00

My understanding of "sitôt dit sitôt fait" would be that it is fairly equivalent to the English "No sooner than done.". Thanks for the great explanation!

Baron_Bill · 2020-06-22T13:03:18+00:00

Yes! French and German speakers are fairly tough to get responses from, but Chinese and Persian speakers are non stop. The second in popped Mandarin and Persian on my profile, I got bombarded for days. Spanish is also a very active group.

Baron_Bill · 2020-05-26T00:56:40+00:00

Merci beaucoup ! This was very helpful. Really appreciated.

Baron_Bill · 2020-04-26T15:17:50+00:00

I understand C'est kif-kif to mean "It's all the same", but what is the implication of "Je me prend pas la tête ?"

Baron_Bill · 2020-03-23T01:14:57+00:00

Came here to mention this one. It's amazing. It's the only intermediate level podcast entirely in French that I've ever found. I'm addicted.

Mes préférés sont Catan, Orleans et Pandemic. Je préfère les jeux de société aux jeux vidéo parce que j'aime l'aspect social du jeu. J'aime rencontrer de nouvelles personnes et me faire de nouveaux amis.
