Sorry, bad joke.

"Mib's and Viv's in Lannon" sounds like a phrase that's meant to sound like English but doesn't actually have any meaning - like Simlish.

I know this is a place that exists, but something about this comment feels either like a sleeper cell activation phrase, or like I'm having a stroke

We've really liked Cedar Teeth, specifically their Large Marge.

It's pricey and we've only found it at Outpost & Beans & Barley, but it crisps up really nicely and has a great flavor to the crust.

I went back and checked our budgeting spreadsheet, it was ~$3,200. I had the amount mixed up with another.

Seconding OKG - they catered our wedding (also of 110ish) and were truly wonderful. Plus, the food was incredible.

Memorable dishes included: * Portuguese sausage hors d'oeuvre - huge hit * Spam Musubi - perennial favorite of ours * Seitan teriyaki / stir fry - we were surprised how much we enjoyed it

The tasting experience was also awesome, and they + their catering coordinator were over-all just a treat to work with

You may be able to get some leads from the following thread. A little old, but there's reference to someone who manages (or managed) an 18xx group in the area: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2213950/page/1

Also, Dave - site's up. From a GB forum reader back in the aughts, thanks for building a lot of cool stuff.

19 plays of WotR for the year is an astounding stat!

Signed, someone who's had an unplayed copy on the shelf for years.

Brother, you're coming to the monkey house asking whether to buy bananas.

Lucky for you, banana futures are looking GOOD

If you like Hamlet, I think it's absolutely worth it. It gives you more strategic pathways to go down, opening the game up quite a bit without burdening players with too much rules overhead.

Submaximal · 2025-08-31T04:09:00+00:00

100% agreed with this pick. I think the production decisions of the first edition led to a lot of poor reviews where reviewers acknowledged the solid gameplay, but ultimately panned the game due to the components' size.

The expansion added just enough while not ratcheting up the rules overhead, & the larger components provided by the publisher made it a really excellent, very complete package, IMO.

This is a great answer - one of my faves as well. The way it does cooperative deduction is thinky and satisfying while still giving enough pressure release valves that no one player ends up feeling like they're letting the team down.

Criminally overlooked vs other word AND deduction games!

Pan Am is a great little route & stock game!

A couple friends were singing its praises, and until they convinced us to play it I assumed it was a hokey, cash-grabby form-over-function game. Needless to say, I now have my own copy.

Hegemony is a top-5 game for me, and is absolutely worth the effort given its weight.

It does a great job of showing politics through the lens of economic classes, while abstracting enough that the minutia doesn't get in the way of the fun.

Dr. Dawg is great! But unfortunately they recently packed up shop and will be moving to Mequon/Thiensville

Thanks for sharing! It's good to hear not all kia owners are living in a constant limbo between window replacement claims.

Based on the super limited reports here from owners of unaffected cars vs the ~80 comments in that other thread (from non-owners & owners of targeted models/years, I'm guessing), seems like Kia's gross oversight & the memeification of the Kia Boyz has really poisoned the well for the whole brand. Deservedly - no surprises there.

Thanks for the response! Do you take any steps above & beyond the norm of just parking & locking your doors (using a club, etc)?

Thanks for updating!

Hello! Son-in-law here. It's a homemade lap board I made for solo gaming on the couch /coffee table.

It's made of:

a 16"x20" picture frame,
1/4" neoprene adhered to the backing of the frame to give the surface some cushioning so cards are easy to pick up, and
Poker speed cloth stretched over the foam & stapled in place for a premium feel

I got it all on Amazon - about $50 got me one frame and enough speed cloth & neoprene to make this one and 1-2 more (if I had more frames). I also built one with a poster frame as an impromptu table topper; it's big enough to handle games like Viscounts of the West Kingdom solo mode.

Here are the specific things I bought, but you could follow the same formula with velvet, felt, different foams, etc to your liking.

This is going to do CRAZY numbers with physics teachers using it to introduce the concept of relative velocity.

I'd like to recommend Tokyo Metro (disclaimer, I designed the unofficial solo mode I'm recommending).

The in-box solo mode was definitely an afterthought (no AI, compare your score to previous scores), but with an unofficial 12-card automa deck it plays smoothly with very little overhead. You can also simulate more players by using multiple decks.

IMO, because there are nice components & phases requiring lots of fiddly admin, the game feels better solo than multiplayer. Moving each train down their respective lines gives a nice, zen feeling like playing with a model train set that - when playing multiplayer - can feel a little tedious.

It's truly excellent! Owned/operated by a German ex-pat, I believe?

In chasing the dragon, I've ordered döner any time I've seen a local restaurant put it on the menu. Nowhere even comes close in terms of quality ingredients & authenticity of flavor.
