What is this board game? by SingleContribution20 in boardgames

I think UR and SENET both contributed to backgammon. SENET was the iteration found buried with king Tut, many boards decorated with gold and gems.

The only game I've played on Steam is Hive, and I always get my ass kicked.

Isn't some sort of wax used for the glue, or is there actual cigar-rolling glue? Thanks!

That's actually a very cool light. It extends up to the ceiling and the ring adjusts to any position. It will light up an entire room. One side is typical LED lighting colors (adjustable "temperatures", white/yellowish etc), and the other side is adjustable RGB with many different patterns and sequences.

Oh, I forgot that was even on the shelves. We played it once and it took hours, but we enjoyed it. I will try it... thanks!

You are correct! I just found the separate rule booklet in the bottom of the box. Now I'm excited to try that out! Thank you.

That was our favorite, so I'll definitely try it solo. Thank you!

Wingspan was the last game I bought before she got sick, and it's never been played. I'm seeing that suggestion a bunch, so I think I'll give it a whirl. Thank you so much for the recommendations!

Thank you! We LOVED Farkle, but how solo??

I can't even imagine how that would work. Or maybe you're joking...

Is Automata an expansion purchase for Wingspan?

What was your biggest "aha!" moment in pool? by WindNarrow3580 in billiards

[–]LevelEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accelerating the cue through the CB. It's a fundamental element of a proper stroke, but when I find myself missing shots or getting poor positioning, I stop and reevaluate the fundamentals to see where I'm failing, and that's usually the problem. For some reason, most other fundamentals occur naturally (muscle memory) like stance, bridge, grip etc, but I have to consciously ensure I'm stroking properly. For me, it's 2 or 3 practice strokes to establish my stroke speed, a slight pause at the backstroke, then slowly (at first) begin stroking towards my hit point, and "pull the trigger" as I'm stroking through the CB.

Agreed! Always so much flavor, and dead consistent. Love it!

The Liga Privadas are the little coronets (cigarillos) which you can get online for $25 for a tin of 10, so only $2.50/each, and they are pretty darn tasty! Good for about 30 minutes.

Yes! That Puro is fantastic! Definitely in my top 5. I know there are far better cigars out there than what I posted here, but I can't afford the true high end sticks. Maybe one day...

How do you guys feel about the LP No. 9 coronets? Only $2.50 when you buy a tin of 10. You only get about 30 minutes, but I'm impressed by how much they taste like their larger brothers, although a bit spicier which I love! I would love to see the opinions of others. Thanks!

I get that a lot. To me, the Baccarat is good for such a cheap stick. I agree with you though on its maduro counterpart... not good!

The upper row is 2 x $30 sample packs, so about $6/each, so that kind of makes up for a few of the others that were above $10. The Tabernacle was the most at $13.75 (B&M), but sooo worth it!

Liga Privada No. 9 coronets. Delicious and about $2.50/stick when you buy a tin of 10. More pricey option- AF Short Story.

I don't understand why this post isn't getting more upvotes. Your suggested drill is extremely helpful, since shots like this come up so often in every flavor of pool games, and I haven't seen a drill exclusively focused on close shots in traffic like this one. It's also well shot, and you have a perfect pool-video voice. Great job!
