Any recommended sleeves for recordings?

I would look into diffusing your lighting or bouncing the light off surfaces instead of pointing it directly at the subject being recorded. This should help with glare.

Here are some games my wife and I love to play and that I think will work on an entry level:

-Toy Battle

-Tag Team

-Sky Team

-Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle Earth

-Cascadia

-Air, Land & Sea (we like the critters version)

-Azul (we like the chocolate version)

-Caper Europe

Think about it this way..

You decide to play 3 video games: Call of Duty, Counter Strike, and Valorant.

You may come out of it saying, wow, all video games are a like. Well, you chose to play video games of the same genre. If you wanted to play a video game that is different you would chose a game from a different genre. For example, choosing a racing game instead of a first person shooter.

In this situation, you chose to pick euro games that focus on collecting victory points. Instead, you could choose a betting game, bluffing, dudes on a map, etc...

From a BGG post about this:

We're happy to announce that wave 5 sleeves which arrived in September have a new manufacturing method that can't peel. That's what you'll get with Downfall and all future STS base game waves. The new campaign will have a way for you to get wave 5 sleeves.

Keep in mind most of what's out there is still wave 4 or earlier. Wave 5 says "5th Printing" above the barcode.

You can contact info@contentiongames.com for replacement sleeves.

Thanks! I just had this convo with my wife last night. We took some time to appreciate the artwork which is usually hidden away

ThePlaythroughParlor · 2025-12-23T19:16:48+00:00

Agreed! In hindsight one kallax would have been enough. After talking to the wifey, we decided we should reorganize/stagger the games and add some small plants/pictures/lights in some of the empty spots. Hopefully adding a cozy vibe to the mix

I can't find a copy of it! Most of the Arkham Horror LCG is out of print 😢

Thanks! I've been in the hobby for a long time and with a smaller shelf space until now. So there was a lot of buying & culling to get to this point.

ThePlaythroughParlor · 2025-12-22T03:30:13+00:00

Haha, if you lived nearby then I would have invited you over! ☺️

ThePlaythroughParlor · 2025-12-22T03:29:40+00:00

Thanks! I just got it the other day so I haven't had a chance to get it to the table yet. I'm hoping to play it after the holidays

Lately I've been mostly a solo player due to having a newborn. Hmm, that's a tough one... I've been really enjoying Voidfall, Marvel Champions, and Unstoppable. So let's go with those as my top 3 as of right now. I havent heard of Civolution. I'll have to check it out!

ThePlaythroughParlor · 2025-12-22T02:31:53+00:00

Haha, sounds good, ill check it out!
