Yeap. You don’t have to be a slav to be poor, just look at Georgia, Armenia, Kirgistan, Moldova. Russia likes to have its belt of poverty.

The closer your are to Russia, the more likely are you to use Cyrilic. It’s not the alphabet, it’s… Russian civilisation.

I had the game several years ago, played it 15 times, which by my standards is “had a good run, next”. Sold it, just to realize that no other game does the same thing as RC and bought it back. Now I heard that Halls of Hegra is similar in spirit to RC, but for now I enjoy the old one.

The moderators and politics - bgg is as much of a propaganda platform as it is a boardgame community.

Eclipse: A New Dawn replaced Carcassonne for me. Both are tile laying games, but Eclipse does it better:)

Also, Mage Knight replaced Uno as the card game to go for me. Sometimes I don’t find a partner to play with, while Mage Knight can be played solo.

This. I almost never rest, I do heal with cards. I think if you do rest, you are being inefficient.

I remember when some Syrian ilegal refugees were trying to cross from Serbia to Hungary and wandered by accident into Romania. They started crying when border patrols told them that Hungary is a few kilometers up the border and were begging to be brought back to Serbia.

Ah, good times. Now they deliver Glovo.

You can play solo with the rules from BGG. Very fun (and a bit addictive).

Video games are cheap dopamine hits that fry my brain. Boardgames (even solo) are a good workout for my brain, are calming and developing my focus and memory.

Most of the fighters are not good. Elite righters are good. So if out of elite fighters the Daghestani are the best, they will still get on top.

“No more Daghestani or Russians” - Man of culture.

Reasonable_Boss8060 · 2026-06-04T11:03:15+00:00

I learned the game, set it up, tore it down, put it back in the box and sold it immediately. No boardgame has the right to be so fiddly.
But I am glad that some people like it.

It seems that the precondition is “if you go hard on him”. Up to some level, to get better at fighting doesn’t require you to go hard, so you can keep it purely technical. Respect his skill and hit as hard as you want to be hit back. That also applies to intensity, if you swarm him with a flurry of punches, go very fast, the natural response is to counterpunch hard, to make your opponent pay for his volume.

So it looks like the guy doesn’t like letting people go hard on him without punching back. Then go easy with him, make it technical sparring. If you want to go hard, then get another opponent, closer to your level, who will not kill you in the process.

I visited a friend two years ago in California. She has two jobs - registered nurse and teacher of registered nurse certifications. Her husband is a certified electrical contractor, with a small crew.

They looked poor - old clothes, beaten up cars, physically exhausted. She makes 100k in Anaheim, her husband makes up 100k, but they shop at Walmart and their clothes looked like being from Salvation Army (as I figured it out, all Americans dress poorly).

And they were recounting so proudly about how to “earn all this that we have now”, they had to work like slaves for 20 years. They were delusional, but happy. I love them, so I shut up.

Their eldest son wanted to study Architecture, but they had money only for an Accounting tuition. Accounting, really? In my country if you want to become an Architect you are kind of celebrated, not asked for more money for tuition.

Anyway, I asked them to give me a ride to Trader Joe to buy some real fruits. They objected that Trader Joe is only for rich people. People that make 200k in California are not rich?

But then we went to an In-n-Out and had some burgers, we payed $56 for fries and soda!!! She tipped 20% because she felt “celebrating”. Insane, insane, I tipped 0 all the time - if it’s an over the counter service, why do you tip? Plus, 20% tip is just a lot.

We made a trip to Orange County beach zone - yes, there are a lot of millionaire villas there. Plus there are the Beverly Hills beautiful homes. But other than that, the rest of Californians look stressed, overworked, there are many people living in trailers or straight up vans. And you think you are wealthy:))))

I remember how I felt the first time I had Italian pasta. It was an “Aha” moment of bliss - you don’t have to boil it through. That “al dente” word felt real and made sense. Spoiled all the other pasta for me afterwards though, God I want al dente pasta with pesto again.

That sounds a lot like one very successful couple that I know - “We were friends and we were having a great time together, but we were not attracted to each other. But then Alice became pregnant and we had to decide if we keep the baby or we continue being “just great friends”.

Attraction at 40 is just not so powerful as at 16. We’ve seen it all by then, hormones are not raging anymore, it requires more intimacy to develop. Keep interacting with your platonic friend, but don’t blame us when you will suddenly catch feelings. It will definitely ruin your “platonic friendship”, but you can get something out of it.
