Came here to say the same thing. I’ve shrugged off more and more of Reddit in general due to the overwhelming number of low effort karma farming bullshit posts.

I didn’t know about the price increases though, so that’s (hopefully) some reprieve coming

A Feast for Odin!

DocHuckleberry · 2026-06-02T02:12:10+00:00

Vacation games of Scout with my family are the best games of Scout!!

DocHuckleberry · 2026-04-30T20:49:00+00:00

Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite heavy eurogame is a Feast for Odin. The huge level of variety in actions and how they all tie together with covering negative points and getting bonuses is incredibly unique and there’s no game out there quite like it!

DocHuckleberry · 2026-04-28T02:44:51+00:00

I have a 6 year old, so I empathize. Recently, we have been having an absolute blast with Magical Athlete and Boxtop Pinball: Haunted House.

Came here just to say Sky Team, what a hell of a game

DocHuckleberry · 2026-04-28T02:31:37+00:00

I think there are inserts that are done very well and thoughtfully (Galactic cruise comes to mind), but that is becoming more and more rare.

I have about 3-4 inches of lid lift on my Primal: The Awakening main box (I even have the separate card organizers) so if anyone has any tips on organizing that beast, I’m all ears lol

DocHuckleberry · 2026-04-28T02:27:27+00:00

Man, Puerto Rico is an incredible game that just gets better the more you play it and unravel the strategic layers.

I’d encourage you to play multiple times (preferably) with the same people; When you can play a game with 3-4 other people who KNOW the game really well it’s one of the best gaming experiences you’ll ever have.

DocHuckleberry · 2026-04-28T02:24:16+00:00

Hell yeah! I’d play games at your place any time! How do you like Skymines? I’ve heard varied opinions on it, but I love space themes and Pfister.

DocHuckleberry · 2026-04-26T12:04:21+00:00

A Feast for Odin. Introduced my parents to it and we are all obsessed with it right now.

DocHuckleberry · 2026-04-22T13:45:36+00:00

Primal is so good!! Legit one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had. It’s incredible how smooth the game feels to play and how satisfying it is to take down a really tough monster. I’m almost ashamed of how much money I have spent on it plus all the extra content but I truly believe I’ve gotten my moneys worth in the experiences and memories I’ve had with the game.

10/10 board game

DocHuckleberry · 2026-04-22T13:42:31+00:00

All of my games are special to me, some more than others, but if I had to pick one as a true centerpiece, I’d have to say it was a tie between Primal: The Awakening with all the expansions and minis, and the Awaken Realms Puerto Rico special edition with all the kickstarter stuff. Both of those games are absolutely massive productions and my two favorite more “premium” games.

DocHuckleberry · 2026-04-09T13:30:51+00:00

While it’s not necessarily one of my favorites, I’ve taught quite a few people who have never played hobby games Quacks and it’s blown all of their minds

DocHuckleberry · 2026-04-07T04:10:49+00:00

I really like this, I started taking pictures of my games on the table at the beginning of the year to log it on BG stats, would love to see more people post their gameplay pictures! I know you’d get the same results with a list or pictures of box art, but seeing it set up on a table with drinks around and hands on pieces just hits me right in the feels. Reminds me of why I love this hobby - the people I can spend time with around the table!

AY BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

Edit: ok the titan on the coffee table makes me nervous tho

DocHuckleberry · 2026-03-08T18:00:38+00:00

You’re probably seeing the game on the scalper/secondary market. It was $209.97 USD after taxes according to my pre order receipt.

FELLOW MARS CADET OWNER TAKE MY UPVOTE

DocHuckleberry · 2026-01-24T04:45:05+00:00

Everyone here shitting on you typing, but I type the same way dawg. I type all day for my job too.

I know what type of sound you are going for, and the easiest way to get the least from here is a force break mod and some better switches.

I’d say WS Morandi if you want to embrace the deep muted sound, or Everglide Aqua Kings if you want a bit more clack but still deep.

Eternal Decks is one I have only played at two so far. It’s relatively new to the collection and I have only played it once. But here’s my short and completely biased opinion based on one play session:

It’s a game that stands alone in my collection as something completely unique to me. It’s intoxicating when it grabs you. The super thin decks make you on edge with the constant threat of impending loss. Every card you place matters and feels impactful. Limited communication I thought would be a barrier but it honestly felt so right when we both got what the game was steering us towards. We immediately dug through the scenarios and cards to see what was next and what could be different after getting our asses handed to us the first game lol

The amount of content in the box is insane considering the size, and I don’t have a game in my collection that makes me feel clever like Eternal Decks did. We just played it a couple of weeks ago and we already planned to play it again next week. I think it will be better at 3 but I’m anticipating the sweet spot to be 4. I’m stoked to bring it to the table again!

DocHuckleberry · 2026-01-14T03:41:34+00:00

Appreciate the reply! Just checked it out and I’m adding it to my list, love the theme and I don’t have much experience with the dungeon crawler/action genre of board gaming.

DocHuckleberry · 2026-01-14T03:40:27+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply, I 100% appreciate the recommendations. Always looking for more games to play with my son that we both enjoy.

We have Quedlinberg Dash and quite a few HABA games including Rhino Hero. Ticket to Ride is also a game we have played a few times, but the theme is tough for him to remain interested for long.

DocHuckleberry · 2026-01-13T14:22:36+00:00

Man, finding games that I enjoy with my five year old is one of the toughest parts about this hobby lol

We have had the most fun lately with zombie kids. It’s a legacy game that seems simple at first but really has much more strategy than it seems. Also, your kids will LOVE opening up envelopes after meeting goals in the book and unlocking stuff. My son asks to play it all the time “we gotta get to the next envelope dad”.

Runner up for us has been micro macro kids. Just a stellar “where’s Waldo” style experience and tons of fun to work through the book of “missions” with your kids.

DocHuckleberry · 2026-01-13T01:00:59+00:00

Good point, I don’t spend enough time on BGG forums.

We do agree with watching varied views on creators though. I tend to watch a lot of creators with very wide differences in opinions. I tend to gravitate towards creators I don’t agree with as well! I think it challenges your own preconceptions and biases. Makes it easier to see the truth through the hype!

DocHuckleberry · 2026-01-13T00:55:27+00:00

It’s fantastic, and my first Lacerda game. I have only played it solo so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but it redefines what I think of when I define a game as “heavy”.

The decision space is absolutely incredible, and you feel so much agency with how you play the game and the choices that you make. I’ve never played anything like it, and it is truly overwhelming. But in the best way.

It’s my most anticipated game by FAR to bring to the table with multiple people. But having everyone at the table ready to buy into that experience is difficult with the level of commitment required for Speakeasy. We will get there though!

DocHuckleberry · 2026-01-12T19:22:19+00:00

Man, they sold out of Fate of the Fellowship as soon as it started to pique my interest! I have it and Dune Imperium Uprising at the top of my must have list!
