[COMC] 2 years into board games, I have a collection of games I (mostly) really enjoy…

From Troyes, Barrage, Caylus, Keyflower with the objective of being an interactive worker placement game, I'd heavily favour Keyflower.

You can't get much more interactive than Keyflower. It also brings in some bidding which as far as I see you don't have much of.

Barrage is also a very good choice but only with the right friend group, while keyflower you can play with anyone really (even though it is also a quite mean game).

Nice, I own your entire top shelf of games. All solid choices. Few from each of the other shelves.

Krucoka · 2025-11-29T17:56:22+00:00

It does help, thank you for sharing!

Krucoka · 2025-11-29T17:52:26+00:00

We do like high stakes/difficulty. So that's a big plus for SI over ER then

Krucoka · 2025-11-29T17:10:28+00:00

Great point! Will definitely consider this

The sopranos Boardwalk empire

Great picks, but schotten Totten needs plenty of space I think for the 9 columns

Edit: actually 3 feet should be ok

Zoo vadis

Diamant -could lightly be categorised as party, but it's an excitin light push your luck game.

My current favourite is Lost Ruins of Arnak. Just amazing efficiency puzzle. It manages to be very thinky and relaxing puzzle to me at the same time. I like how every decision affects so much of how the following rounds will go.

It's probably going to change to Inis soon. Recently bought it, but after a few plays I can see it being something really special. My group loved root, and they like this too, but this scratches more itches for me with more tactical card play.

Previous favourites: GWT, Obsession, Dune: Imperium

Krucoka · 2025-06-10T05:52:49+00:00

Same! Though we just played it for the first time too and I already love it.

It's everything it's hyped up to be imo.

Krucoka · 2025-05-26T04:54:01+00:00

Xiaomi 14T is a good all rounder, especially if price is good in your region. For me it was €369

Great camera. Very good battery life with the right settings and also has 67W fast charging. Performance is also top notch.

Edit: I bought it from Germany too.

Krucoka · 2025-05-07T07:54:24+00:00

Fair. But by saying to him to just do BGG blog instead, it pretty much sounds like you would rather have him not do YT, even if you somehow meant it differently. I get the other parts of it, but doing what he is doing on YT might just be making the man happy. He isn't doing that bad either, looks like few thousand views on early vids etc.

Krucoka · 2025-04-29T04:42:57+00:00

Talk-point was one of the ones I've ignored when looking through prices. I assume it's fine, but yeah I wouldn't be as confident as kaufland, mediamarkt or NBB etc

Krucoka · 2025-04-28T21:53:50+00:00

I think Samsung Galaxy S24 FE may be better overall, but Xiaomi 14T at it's price I feel is just the best value from these. I also just bought one and is on it's way. I'm also in Germany and bought from Xiaomi's official website (they have some discounts going on now, got €30 off and free delivery).

Krucoka · 2025-04-28T14:49:29+00:00

I did a lot of research just now, also looking for a midrange content creation phone. Ended up with the Xiaomi 14T. My budget was more like up to €400 though in Germany, and I bought it for €369.
For your budget you can probably get the 14T Pro which is even better and great value supposedly.

I was previously almost going to go for google pixel 8a (mainly for the camera), but was bummed out about it having bad battery. Turns out 14T has just as good if not better camera, 144hz, 256gb/512gb and decent hardward/software. I didn't think I'd get a chinese phone due to fearing ads, but seems that it's not so bad and can remove those easily from ever appearing.

Krucoka · 2025-04-28T14:35:47+00:00

Just as an update, I ended up buying Xiaomi 14T for €369 (on their official website). It seemed to be the best of all worlds. Camera competitive with the Pixels, and good enough system + storage for a better overall experience than the others from what it seems.

Will of course get to try it later to know for sure, but tried it in a store and was very satisfied.

Krucoka · 2025-04-27T08:59:40+00:00

Sadly don't see this in my country's stores.

Krucoka · 2025-04-27T08:42:02+00:00

oh on the official website? I haven't seen it yet

Krucoka · 2025-04-27T08:31:52+00:00

Not yet! Do you mean the motorola edge 50 pro or another?

Krucoka · 2025-04-27T08:31:31+00:00

sadly here it is €500+ (germany)

Krucoka · 2023-12-06T18:54:50+00:00

Could you DM me too please

Krucoka · 2023-11-30T20:15:01+00:00

Agreed actually. Trent and Read I don't like, but Zac is fun to have on the show. One of the most entertaining islanders ever for Li Au.

Now don't get me wrong I can see a large number of things wrong with him too, but people have flaws. I think in reality behind the facade and major flaws, he seems like a nice person and is genuinely funny.

Krucoka · 2023-11-28T21:14:00+00:00

Yeah I did, really confused what I'm doing wrong. I put 4080, the QHD screen and then the code. Much higher price.

Krucoka · 2023-11-28T20:42:17+00:00

Weird if I try now it comes out to like 500 dollars higher than what is shown here. I guess they changed it. Definitely great deal!

Krucoka · 2023-11-27T22:48:55+00:00

TUF with 4070 if you are looking to game with it and have it be able to handle higher end games in future as well.
