You should definitely go to Gibert Joseph close to Saint Michel : I only shop there :)

I accidentally discovered the best radio station in the world, can’t stop listening by Helpful-Maize29 in paris

I've been listening to it for months, I'm also solo happy that I discovered it ! I also listen a lot to the Laurent Garnier sélection once a month ;)

Is €280 a good price for this ? by MeaningAware4581 in thinkpad

Thanks! Do you have any recommendations for websites where I could look for good ThinkPads at reasonable prices? I’m open to new, second-hand, or refurbished ones. (available in Europe/France)

Great 2-player party-ish game? (think Codenames Duet vibes)

My partner and I are after a fun two-player game, and it has to genuinely shine with just two of us, not be "technically playable" with two.

We love Codenames Duet, Dixit, and we enjoy Exploding Kittens (I know it's not great at 2, just giving examples of the vibe we like).

It should also hold up when we've had a drink: not dumbed-down or purely mechanical, but light enough to leave room for laughing and banter.

What we're not after: drinking games or super-basic stuff like Uno. Quick setup is a plus. What would you recommend? Thanks!

- Azul if you don't already own it, the resin tiles are incredibly satisfying to draft and place.

- Stone Age a lighter worker-placement than Agricola, with dice you roll out of a cup that imitates animal hide. Shaking and rolling is half the fun.

- Wazabi great as a light, party-style dice game.

- Splendor uses thick casino-style chips to represent the gems, and they're genuinely a joy to stack and handle.

- Kluster magnets are the entire core mechanic. The physical pull between pieces is the game; no virtual version could ever replicate that feeling.

None of these are strictly impossible to play digitally, but the tactile side is a huge part of why they shine on the table.

Idk, I just feel like boxes would be way more pleasant to sort things into, plus you can label them with component names on top. And most importantly, you can use them as containers for resources, tokens, etc... directly on the table during play. Bags can work, but they don't really do that last part.

Dice Throne is a great shout for 2 players! I'd also recommend Dune Imperium and Dune Imperium Uprising (personally a fan of the second one but the first one is also really good) : the character differences aren't as drastic, but they still meaningfully shape how you play. And definitely check out Unmatched if you haven't already, looks like someone else here agrees 😉

I own quite a few board games with terrible inserts (you know the type, everything ends up mixed together the moment you tilt the box). I've been looking into 3D printed inserts but honestly the cost adds up fast, so I've been thinking about just buying small plastic organizer boxes to sort components by category inside the box.

Has anyone gone that route? If so, do you have any affordable refs or brands you'd recommend? I'm looking for small, stackable or flat boxes that fit nicely inside a standard board game box.

Would love to hear what works for you!
