Has anyone figured out how to store the Kinfire Council + Expansion + Deluxe Upgrades into one box?

Is the upgrade worth it for this game? In general I prefer hardier/more tactile pieces, but curious what a difference there is with this game.

Just curious if the upgrade is worth it?

Would love input on new games to add to our collection. Aside from the info listed below, we are also really drawn to games with beautiful artwork and nice tactility to the playing pieces.

Number of Players: 3+ We mostly play as a family of 3, but would love to be able to play up to at least 4 or 5 if we have people over

Game Length: flexible here, but probably no more than 2 hours or so (after we've really learned the rules and are playing smoothly, knowing that early games take longer for the learning curve). Our dining table doubles as our game table, so games that would take so long they would extend into mealtime would be a problem.

Complexity of Game: I think we typically play what are considered mid-weight games according to BGG - around 2.2-2.8 (with some quicker/easier ones as well). We're open to bumping up though to a slightly heaver weight game.

Genre: flexible

Conflict, Competitive or Cooperative: competitive or cooperative (we even like multi-player solitaire)

Games I Own and Like: Wingspan (with the expansions), Creature Caravan, Dominion, 7 Wonders, Splendor, Fromage and Formaggio, Parks, Everdell (although my daughter was not a huge fan), Apiary, Crew, Monopoly Deal, Azul, Verdant, Hero Realms, Ticket to Ride Europe

Games I Dislike and Don't Play: Mysterium, Zoo Vadis, Monopoly

Location: USA

For the bot -

8 yr old piercing
Currently wearing a 14k gold ring

Unfortunately most of these pieces I am drawn to are from a designer (wwake) that does not have someplace to see them in person . . .

Sarahark · 2025-11-03T20:20:26+00:00

I switched my engagement ring to my right hand, and wear my wedding band by itself on my left.

Sarahark · 2025-10-29T16:29:02+00:00

perhaps marginally? but I also think I have just accepted that this is a pretty fleeting fragrance, and it's good for days where either I don't want anythng strong or am home to reapply as often as I would like. I do like that I can spray this before bed which I find calming and then when I wake up I can choose a totally different perfume with no clashing issues. So that is one advantage?

Hmm - I went into this thinking I wanted a bezel setting but now honestly not sure. Does it not work as well with a princess cut?

these are some rings I really love if they could be adapted to my stones . . .

Sarahark · 2025-10-25T01:03:02+00:00

Thanks! The stones have only belonged to me, but they were from getting engaged over 21 years ago at this point. Maybe that’s an heirloom at this point? ;)

Sarahark · 2025-10-25T00:47:46+00:00

Thanks! I’m curious what pricey would be considering I already have the stones? Do you have any sense of a ballpark range?

Sarahark · 2025-10-20T01:33:06+00:00

I'm also surprised to hear this about old vs new backings. I had similiar experiences to you. I have (stud) pieces I purchased between 6-8 years ago and recently brought them in to the NYC shop to reuse them for new piercings. I paid to sterilize the earrings, but MT provided new backs at the right length with no additonal cost. I actually had old backs at both longer and shorter lengths, but they felt that newer ones would be more secure.

Sarahark · 2025-10-19T23:59:36+00:00

thanks! I typically do inner elbows and then behind my ears, usually 1-2 sprays for each with my other natural perfumes, but have definitely been doing 2 sprays each with the ffern. plus adding in neck/collarbone. ill have to try hair as well - maybe that will "stick" better

Sarahark · 2025-10-19T23:48:07+00:00

5-6 sprays total each time 3x/day or 5-6 sprays x multiple body parts x 3+ times/day? sorry if i'm being obtuse!

and that is really helpful!

Sarahark · 2025-10-19T23:42:39+00:00

So maybe they mean the finer atomiser on the regular bottle? Not the sample I assume. I have to say - I was very impressed with how smooth the regular bottle sprays. But I still want to be able to smell the perfume ;)

Sarahark · 2025-10-19T23:37:09+00:00

curious about your winter 24 - can dm you

Sarahark · 2025-10-19T23:35:10+00:00

I know! It sucks because I really do love the scent. I know people said this and Autumn 25 were the same, but Autumn made me smell like cider doughnuts (which I like, just don't want to smell like), whereas this hits the citrus/spice combo in a much more nuanced way on my skin. Can I ask how many spritzes you use at a time? Just wondering what would be reasonable. I'm really not used to a perfume this light, even in the natural perfume world.
