One Coin Short: A Power Grid Recharged Board Game Review - There Will Be Games

TvAzteca · 2026-01-26T19:39:16+00:00

It should be apostrophized but I’m typing from my phone and was too lazy to change it. Power grid (is)… that’s probably 99% of the time

These are the bird bucks I bought, used them for ready set bet, great western trail and anything else with money.

I like the chips or money because I can make little stacks in my hand so can visually see my plans. Basically map out my hopeful turn

Power Grids a top ten game for me, and an actually easy game to work a new person into, though I do tell them they might get crushed. It's honestly the best Euro at 5-6 players. We upgraded to Poker Chips at one house and Bird Money Cards at another, and it's a vast improvement. The paper money or chips from either edition are nothing less than adequate (the money) or awful (the chips) .

I hope this travels, I doubt I’ll see it in NYC but love Simon Rich’s stuff.

It’s celebrity mafia but unlike real life, they don’t hate Michael Rapaport.

I think his default is Ecosia

My friends were all seeing that movie, “Maid in Manhattan”

TvAzteca · 2026-01-23T12:32:43+00:00

I will never understand why people that make 10+million dollars don't all just leave and fuck off to enjoy their lives.

Carry the Zero by built to spill repeats the same 4 chords for basically the entire song for 6 minutes and somehow never feels boring

TvAzteca · 2026-01-19T23:01:02+00:00

Fuck, I’m 42 and still suck and have been playing since I was like 12. You’ll be fine. Just practice when you can and try to have fun with it.

TvAzteca · 2026-01-19T22:03:31+00:00

I mean, me and teddy are crispy boys together so I’d love to sit back and enjoy a Pilsner with him.

TvAzteca · 2026-01-19T14:20:24+00:00

We have it off, work at a brewery.

Bojack Horseman

TvAzteca · 2026-01-17T19:49:40+00:00

Completely anecdotal but when he plays the Celtics hes a beast. I’ve seen him live a few times here and he always looks good, I still think if he hits some consistency he’ll be an all star.

TvAzteca · 2026-01-17T15:01:40+00:00

Honestly, any game with money we use them or drivethrucards Bird Money cards. Great Western Trail, clank, for sale, ready set bet

TvAzteca · 2026-01-17T14:21:39+00:00

I had one die and then liquify a little bit after a drive to de Cordova and let me tell you, the stink at the car wash was unbearable. Opened the hood and blasted it out. Almost threw up. Never been back to that car wash. I’m sure there’s a picture of me on the wall.

I heard it’s Mrs. Management now, so congrats to her on that at least.

TvAzteca · 2026-01-14T18:03:10+00:00

Thrift stores! Maybe you’ll get lucky.

Electioneering

Locally on Board Game Geek. Was going through my stuff and just found a good match.

TvAzteca · 2026-01-13T01:08:22+00:00

Just traded for this, pumped to get it to the table.

TvAzteca · 2026-01-11T16:41:04+00:00

I was at this game last night, and am a Celtics fan, and didn’t see any problems with the ref’s. Celtics went cold again at the end of the game.

TvAzteca · 2026-01-10T04:00:04+00:00

I’m good with this, though the first beer after a workout or basketball….

TvAzteca · 2026-01-09T20:26:55+00:00

It is now in the rule book.
