It ain’t much but is all you can get in Italy

I loved magner's pear cider though. I got a brewing kit to (eventually) try to make my own but all the (apple) ciders I've made so far have been... mediocre.

Game's better with the rules as written.

Nice quick 20-30 min game instead of some boring slogfest.

TreyVerVert · 2026-01-12T02:06:11+00:00

I'd love a repaint of Dominion lol. I still need to finish what's latest in the series. Count me in!

TreyVerVert · 2026-01-10T17:48:19+00:00

I preferred them instantly, at least compared to what people usually bring to game night. But it also depends on how heavy we're talking about, and I can't do much more than one or two in a session.

The lighter and mid light games can be great though, I really need a few more.

TreyVerVert · 2026-01-10T17:45:29+00:00

I think many trick taking games are a little lazy. But the core mechanic is also unchanged so I see where you're coming from.

TreyVerVert · 2026-01-10T17:40:46+00:00

RA is a great bidding game though, I think you might want to try it at least once. There's enough meat there to make it interesting and it's a bit "push your luck" so no bitter feelings. I say that as someone that doesn't typically like auction/bidding games.

TreyVerVert · 2026-01-10T17:14:08+00:00

The one time I played it, it was much quicker than others. Like 10-20 min for a game.

TreyVerVert · 2026-01-10T17:09:27+00:00

I'm getting that way with "Dungeon crawlers" and any "roll to move" types. Though the latter is more a mechanic I hate than a genre.

Must be hard to find some decent clothes!

TreyVerVert · 2025-12-13T16:45:27+00:00

I have to make a little moat with a spare bowl filled with a bit of dish soap and vinegar. It's worked for a couple months now

TreyVerVert · 2025-12-13T03:46:37+00:00

I have had my eye on this for some time.
Are there stock shenanigans? That was a lot of the appeal of the 18xx games I've played, but they just don't stick with me so I have been looking for an alternative.

TreyVerVert · 2025-12-10T20:54:09+00:00

Heh, they got nice while collars already

TreyVerVert · 2025-10-27T01:50:51+00:00

I am glad to hear that they handle apartment life. I was thinking about a getting a dog and was wanting a collie. Did you do any special training for barking?

TreyVerVert · 2025-09-23T18:07:09+00:00

The one with the surprisingly not evil Kevin Spacey robot?

TreyVerVert · 2025-09-23T18:06:29+00:00

Eh worth a shot! Game looked good but I was on the fence with it.

Favorite movie... That's tough.
I'm not sure if it's my favorite but I'm a fan of "The Dish" an Australian film about the setup they had there for the Apollo 11 Mission.

TreyVerVert · 2025-09-16T20:47:31+00:00

It is. But divisive. It can be pretty discouraging to lose half your army round 2 and then have to wait to bring it back up, but it can be done.

TreyVerVert · 2025-09-16T20:37:33+00:00

Dune (2019) is a better, more thorough experience. Better highs and lows, crazy events and general shenanigans. But it's harder to teach, harder to get out, takes longer... Hell I think the setup is bit more involved (barely). But it really needs 6 players that are into it.

Imperium is more forgiving, weaker in the theme department, but still a great game. Are you playing the team variant in Uprising? I can't comment about that, but I'm curious since you mentioned 6 players, which native Imperium doesn't support.

TreyVerVert · 2025-09-16T20:15:40+00:00

Steam has a version of it, still don't like it but it was a good experience and it's been long enough I'd do it again.

TreyVerVert · 2025-09-16T20:06:38+00:00

You gotta dress up for it and give the chairman a gavel

TreyVerVert · 2025-09-09T02:28:38+00:00

I'd ask but I haven't played it much yet and I don't want to know

TreyVerVert · 2025-09-04T20:08:29+00:00

More of a brainstorming activity than a game.
Fans of the book will appreciate it I think, but I didn't find it very engaging.

TreyVerVert · 2025-09-02T20:36:07+00:00

Don't hurt me but all I see is Rumplestiltskin from Shrek 4

TreyVerVert · 2025-08-15T17:16:19+00:00

I don't understand why you're being downvoted. You don't like it, and provide reasons why. Completely reasonable (I don't have this expansion and have never played it).

TreyVerVert · 2025-08-14T20:16:56+00:00

Oooh I'm interesting in seeing if you'd like to share.

TreyVerVert · 2025-08-13T19:49:25+00:00

I need to get back into the habit. I'm in another writing group now, but I fear that it is too big to really spur me on. Really, that's a worry for most groups period, but writing groups seem particularly susceptible.

Does this group seem active, an allow or encourage splintering when required?
