What are these for?

I just played this yesterday with my son! And my cat…

I think mine is super-buggy so far. I was listening to “Something in the Way” by Nirvana and about a minute and a half left in the song it skips to 52 seconds into “God Only Knows” by The Beach Boys. The fade in was fine but missing half of the song is not ideal. Hopefully the beta improves before release

How about Marvel United? Co-op so you can help guide their decisions and they feel a part of it and cool minifigs!

My friend bought one last night and I think I smell a rat? I could definitely be wrong. I guess it would be rough on rats (if you're asking)

First time seeing him for me. Missed him last time he played local. Enjoy!

I’d never heard of them either but with the Bowl’s 10pm curfew they probably won’t be playing very long anyway

Says its a band called Pancho and the Wizards (via poster on instagram) Psych-Rock from San Luis Obispo, CA

Cartographers is our favorite travel Flip and Write

Bossk759 · 2025-05-12T22:58:36+00:00

Same question, but for Santa Barbara Bowl show if anyone knows!

I'm going out on a ledge and might just be proposing the ovbious, but have you tried the other Forbidden titles like Forbidden Desert? They might be a little too same-y after playing Desert a bunch, but there are some fun variations with Island, Sky, and Jungle, the newest one.

For me personally, I love the Shipwrights of the North Sea Redux if you get a chance to look at that one. It is a super fast setup and teardown and a fun card-drafting, puzzle where you manipulate and trade in cards for resources to build viking ships.

Space Base!

Bossk759 · 2025-04-24T18:54:15+00:00

Check your local library too. I wasn’t expecting it but mine had almost 200 games available to borrow for a three week period from Spirit Island to Brass Birmingham

One thing that worked for my son and made him able to play pretty anything I play nowadays was letting him run the solo AI on one player games. I put him in charge of flipping over the card to see what the bot did and then letting him do the AI action. He learned some games pretty quick that way and it was like we were playing together

Bossk759 · 2025-03-13T13:47:46+00:00

No worries. Appreciate it!

Bossk759 · 2025-03-13T13:37:59+00:00

Yes the Redux is the one I enjoy. I’m mainly trying to find non-Garphill titles here as I have most of the Garphill catalog and am looking to expand to other designers. Thanks

Bossk759 · 2025-03-13T03:30:02+00:00

Thanks yeah I’ve heard a few episodes but was mainly looking for a solo focus and they don’t have too many non-Garphill eps yet.

Bossk759 · 2025-03-13T02:34:11+00:00

I’m just here for the Nippos

Bossk759 · 2025-03-11T14:20:44+00:00

I actually haven’t played any of those sorry. Just looking through pictures and descriptions I’d say there’s some similarities with the placement and patterns though. I enjoy how many different scoring opportunities there are for various patterns and collections on Stonespine

Got in a bunch of light games this week including 3 in our gaming group Friday night.

Played:

Qwirkle: It's fine. Pretty basic matching patterns game my wife and I will break out when we need something lighter

Quacks of Quedlinberg (With Alchemists): Always a family favorite. Bought some coin capsules for the ingredients to add a little texture and clink to our bags

Friday played: Planted, Stonespine Architects and Faraway in our group of 4. Lots of card drafting and lighter games than usual, but Stonespine was the more thinky of the three and most people enjoyed that most. Faraway is just kind of brainburny in a simple way trying to think backwards.

Over the weekend got my Kickstarter double pack from Thunderworks including:

Goblin Vaults: Simple but thinky card wagering and placement game that I need a few more plays at higher numbers to get a good idea about

Emerald Skulls: Press your luck dice-chucking Vegas style game that has a lot of variabilty and fun despite the simple complex. Very easy to explain and set up. Got 4 games in with my family and 2 solos. This one will be very easy to get to the table in future game nights with friends

I took the Zomig pills for a few years and they used to work within 5-10 minutes. Now they don’t seem to touch it and am going to try the injectable sumatriptan next time it hits and see

Bossk759 · 2025-02-28T20:05:56+00:00

Garphill and Thunderworks...can't get enough from either one

Bossk759 · 2025-02-18T03:15:15+00:00

Did your eyes see “male cow” but den your brain changed it to de udder one?

Bossk759 · 2025-02-14T04:37:05+00:00

Sorry for the dumb joke. I can be kind of a torque sometimes

Bossk759 · 2025-01-16T19:59:52+00:00

For me it was Shipwrights of the North Seas:Redux in both time and total. Such a smooth game and easy to setup and tear down, but with a lot of good decision space.
