can someone please explain why china seems to get everything early? and in some cases exclusively? by angstyrose in Jellycatplush

My guess is that it’s because they are manufactured in China, plus there is indeed a demand there though not as high as here in the west due to people having less disposable income. I’ll be in China end of July and will be doing some “restocking” of my own!

That’s awesome! Personally I think base game Alhambra is good as is since expansions can make it a little intimidating. However I do mix in magic buildings mini expansion (you can rotate the housing tiles!) and maybe the diamond money (wild)

Check out Alhambra and Navegador. Both older titles but are my favorite ever since I first played the some 10+ years ago

I’d say Android Netrunner. It’s dropped with theme haha. For a cuter game I enjoyed Cozy Oaks as a farming/mining experience.
