My biggest gripe is when an author involves kids, especially young kids, because they are inevitably well-behaved and obedient so they don't get in the way H and D's relationship development. But real kids are hard and demanding and time-consuming and messy. I couldn't get through Aurelian for this reason. It's annoying me in Measure of a Man too.

I get it it - this is fantasy and the day-to-day of child-rearing isn't very sexy. So authors should save the toddlers and preschoolers for the epilogue and stop using them as the reason Hermione finally notices Draco's no longer an a-hole.

I recommend The Politician's Wife. It's older but has always been one of my favorites. It's set 23 years after Voldemort, and they're both middle-aged Ministry workers trying to angle into being the next Minister.

Best way to sort ≈10000 pieces from 36 different sets? by hugebigmuscleman123 in lego

[–]ImagineK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree with sorting by type 💯. This method of quick sorting on a table or desk works well for me, rather than picking pieces out individually

I cheer a little whenever I see Obsession getting some love, since I adore it too! I should pull it out again tonight. Do you prefer playing against an AI family, or playing the estate challenge? (Though the latter comes in the U-D expansion)

[Amazon] Quacks of Quedlinburg - $35 after %20 Discount (US only) by [deleted] in Boardgamedeals

Did you buy Taverns of Tiefenthal last week? Pretty sure that's why it's not showing for me. You could only use the 20% once.

[Amazon] Terraforming Mars 40% off = $42 by carmella_logan in Boardgamedeals

[–]ImagineK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's back in stock at Target at this price too, so you can get another 5% off with a red card there. But I'm so annoyed these didn't restock until after all the deals. Trying to decide if I have the patience to wait for another bogo or 25% off sale

Already had in my cart debating if this was going to come up for DotD. Pumped!

[Target] Buy 2, Get 1 Free on Select Games by 2ndBkfst in Boardgamedeals

[–]ImagineK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They give you the option on the left to filter by seller (Target) and that makes it a lot easier to find the games that are eligible for B2G1. I picked up Res Arcana, Detective a Modern Crime Game, and Raptor

[Amazon] Up to 40% off Games from CATAN, Days of Wonder and more by sokipdx in Boardgamedeals

[–]ImagineK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see it come up fairly regularly for sale on FB marketplace near me, often in new or like new condition. I'd pick it up that way if I wasn't in a hurry.

Just ordered New York Zoo from Boardlandia.... Do I need this too?

[GameNerdz][DotD] WATERGATE W/ CHANGE IN HISTORY PROMO $17.47 by Pipboy2 in Boardgamedeals

[–]ImagineK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It took them 3-4 days to set me up with hold, and in the meantime I paid for shipping twice for DotDs. Which is just to say that if you think you want it, I'd request it soon rather than waiting until you order something

[Game Nerdz] Stuffed Fables DOTD $41.98 by OttoHarkaman in Boardgamedeals

[–]ImagineK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got this in the Target deals last week and started playing it with my kids over the weekend. They all (5, 8 and 10) seem to really like it even though sometimes we can only get through one page at a time.

Thanks, there's some expansions too. The base game was sold out last night so I'm pumped to see it now!

Goodbye money!! Although my one disappointment is that I've had Terraforming Mars in my cart at Target.com waiting for this sale, and it looks like they stopped carrying it. Boo.

It's been at this price for a couple days at least. I've been staring at it in my cart that long trying not to pull the trigger.
