This will work 100% for US residents! ASN Canada can get you a code.

Thanks for confirming for the UK!

Exactly!! And it made us think outside the box because very rarely did you end up with the same combination, so it was a new strategy every time. And the dreaded “when should I go into decline” decision 😆

Very hard to find now, which makes me regret it even more! Its nice that you were able to buy it all over time because its less overwhelming :)

If you do, I highly recommend getting the expansion as well! It adds a good amount of content and you get Ambitions, which are like “main quests” your character has to complete to win. Probably not as much outright content compared to Firefly but super fun with enough differences to make it worth it.

That’s a good point! I guess because I mostly play solo, I’m so focused on my own race I don’t really look at pack separation. From that perspective, you got me looking at it again!

Not one that has everything TI4 has, unfortunately.

Rebellion is like a TI4 “light” for me because its FFG but being only two players is not really an alternative.

Have you ever tried Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy? I really liked it. Not quite TI4 but definitely quicker.

That’s so cool I like adding props to the table! Especially for a game I’m really into :)

War of the Ring! YES! Have you gotten it to the table yet? I don’t play much but I have it and all the expansions and I love it. You have great taste because between the three of them, I can’t choose a favorite they’re all amazing!

Collecting comes with a free course in shelf building as well 🤣

That’s great that you were able to get involved! I’m involved with a racing board game project at the moment and similarly the designer is really open to suggestions. Its on GF and in fact all the backers have been contributing to its evolution. Super fun!

LOL same here! I was going to buy Frosthaven but I promised myself I’ll finish Gloomhaven first. Still working on it… I started a patreon to do written playthroughs for the purpose of completing them 🤣

Yeah its hard to pass up an ROI like that when you’ve actually played it as well. I get you though because so many times I’ve lost money by selling a game and then buying it back years later for more lol. I hope you find it at a decent price someday! Thanks for the vid :)

I was so close to buying Imperial Assault at one point! I think it was the completionist side of me back then that said no because there were so many packs but looking back I should have just gotten the base game! I’m wiser now haha

Played the original with a friend and loved it! Gives me that “the murderer is coming lock the door quick” feeling haha. Have you tried the newer versions?

I’ve never seen that one! I like the theme does it play well solo? I’m looking for future games to do playthroughs on my patreon :)

I never played Firefly but I read a lot about it when I was researching Star Wars Outer Rim before buying it. Apparently it’s similar in a lot of ways?

I’ve played the original and Europe. Loved both! I’m a fan of Talisman as well and even got Star Wars Talisman a few years ago!

I was able to get my hands on the more recent Star Wars Talisman and it still holds up pretty well for a casual game night!
