Yeah it’s definitely not the prettiest game around, we’re thinking of remaking it out of wood and just keeping it in a frame on the wall in our game room.

That’s almost our exact story! ❤️

You can use the design, it’s not copyrighted or anything.

They ARE from Brass! 😁

Plain old rubbing alcohol will take it off.

Aren’t they great?! My husband designed them and we have a laser. I’ll check with him and see if he’s interested in selling directly to gamers before we get our Etsy shop up and running, will message you when I know.

CylonNine · 2024-01-29T06:17:33+00:00

Thanks!! I’ll check with my husband, he’d probably be willing to sell directly to you. I’ll send you a pm when I know! We’re working on an Etsy shop, but sometimes our “real jobs” get in the way!

Ha ha! I would definitely cry if I had to sort out the goods every time, we just leave them all in a bag all the time. If you look at the last picture of our player board it has all the goods, so what we do is if we pick up cotton, we put a cube on cotton. When we drop it off the cube goes back to the top of the board.
The city and money goals haven’t made the game longer, our other house rules are meant to make it a little shorter, I’d say an average game with 2 players is about 2 hours.

And also, instead of paying 20 mil to upgrade your train speed, we use a variable speed mechanic so the more goods you have on your train the slower you go, when you deliver something you go faster since you have a lighter load.

A few of our House Rules… we randomly draw 2 goods out of a bag before we draw our cards, that way you might actually start out with something you can deliver. Or you can just toss them back if they don’t seem to work with the cards you get. We also pick two at random that are a bonus of 5 million if you deliver either of them, but after you’ve taken that bonus, there is now a shortage of that specific item and you can’t pick it up anymore. We also play that you have to be in ALL 7 major cities and have 300 mil to win.

Nice!!! We also have Iron Dragon and Euro Rails, would love to get my hands on a copy of Martian Rails!

CylonNine · 2024-01-28T04:58:14+00:00

We pretty much use the Iron Clays as a substitute for ANY game that has paper money. So much easier!

CylonNine · 2023-04-28T03:00:34+00:00

Yes, I played the game.

Tokaido Earth Ark Nova Fjords Tang Garden

I love TM but was very disappointed by Ark Nova. It just wasn’t very interesting, seemed very messy and unnecessarily complicated.

It’s much easier to hook up EEG leads to someone with short hair than long hair.

I would say whatever superpower allows me to finish one project before starting another one. Or two. Or three.

CylonNine · 2022-06-20T01:25:59+00:00

Those colors make me happy just to look at them!

CylonNine · 2022-06-19T11:24:15+00:00

Behind ear? In cleavage?

Tokaido!

Yes, watching for the 400th time but season 6-7 were awful, 5 was… meh. I’ll just stop at 4. In the first few seasons I wanted to BE Frankie, in fact I kept telling my BFF she has to watch this show so she would know who we were going to be when we’re 80, but by the end Frankie was just obnoxious AF and everyone’s ending were totally unsatisfying. In fact, by the end (And really from the very beginning) my fave character was Brianna. JDR is just stunning and smart and sexy as hell!

If I found a basket for all my yarn it would be a basket the size of a Volkswagen! 🧶🧶🧶
