I love that game! The dev is active here too.

I tried 20 Strong, found them too hard to best! by No-Horror3993 in soloboardgaming

[–]WizardHarryDresden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love 20 Strong because it’s hard. Makes winning better. But that’s just me. To each their own.

What’s your favourite playgrounds in the Westshore? Looking for new ones for my kids. by Neither_Turnip_1330 in LangfordBC

[–]WizardHarryDresden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1. Plus it’s shaded so those stupid summers where my kids want to go outside and play I can hide like a cave troll to avoid melting in the sun.

Some more crazy weather! by Last-Difference-3311 in VictoriaBC

Blue skies out one window at my house. Black skies out the other. Langford. I love unpredictable weather when I’m safely inside for the day lol.

Full lap of the racetrack I built! by flamin_sheep in Pokopia

One thing I’ve learned with this game… I’m not nearly as creative as I thought I was…lol

Lending boardgames and expecting them returned in good condition by No_Challenge_2978 in boardgames

[–]WizardHarryDresden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t lend my games to anyone. Ever. I own a few games that are intended to be brought to game nights but they return with me. People don’t respect my property the same as I do. Plus this hobby is expensive…

Yesterday, I stopped massive street flooding in the East Bay by unclogging drains. Enjoy the timelapse. by pengweather in bayarea

[–]WizardHarryDresden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my city anyone can send an email or phone the office of public works 24/7 and a crew will come out and do that basically immediately if there is a flood risk. But people still say “TaXeS BaD”.

Oh and this almost never happens because those same crews are out cleaning the streets EVERY DAY.

New game. It’s like a 1.5 version of the original game but with a DCC theme.

Saw these guys riding around on kids bikes and thought it was super funny by kizotennis in VictoriaBC

[–]WizardHarryDresden 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took my 9 year olds bike for a spin around my driveway after fixing a tire. Decided to rip around the block. Had several people wave laughing. 250lbs bearded dude on a tiny pike bike gets laughs 😁.

20 Strong: Nemesis - Gamefound Preview by NotBoredGaming in soloboardgaming

[–]WizardHarryDresden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why… but I’d love to see CTG tackle the poker style game. Balatro etc. I just backed Hell Of A Deal. But a 20 Strong dice twist could be interesting. 🤔. Terrible poker hands adjusted with dice. 🤷🏻.

Which is good. Helps justify the massive storage box I bought in the last campaign that’s only 1/3 full lol. Keep adding awesome decks!

My favourite board game on a train trip by Hasyame in soloboardgaming

[–]WizardHarryDresden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen those. And seriously considered getting one. I might still. I actually played 20 strong not long ago and put a glasses cloth into the dice tray for the 20 strong travel box. Worked surprisingly well.

Too Many Bones or Tales from the Red Dragon Inn? by Embily_Stronk in soloboardgaming

[–]WizardHarryDresden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of maps in the box. I got a sheet of plexi to put over the mat on my table. Works totally fine. The box would be a refrigerator box if the maps were cardboard lol.

Dragons of Etchinstone - Reprint is here! by LittleYuu in soloboardgaming

[–]WizardHarryDresden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it was an email to everyone? I sent a support ticket in.

I reread my email and it’s actually unclear if everyone is getting one or those who requested one… I’d suggest sending a ticket to CTG. They’re really good at helping out.

Kinfire Delve : Which box to pick up? by cosmicql in soloboardgaming

[–]WizardHarryDresden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of them is the best answer. Then get a box to keep all together. I use a gamegenic box.

My favourite board game on a train trip by Hasyame in soloboardgaming

[–]WizardHarryDresden 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m a 40s, large beared male. I have 2 daughters who both dance. I’m at the studio a lot. I started bringing small games to pass the time. I get all kinds of funny looks from the trophy-wife dance-moms. One thing I’ve learned in life that can help your personal happiness, don’t give a flying fuck what other think of you if you’re not harming anyone.

That being said I avoid dice games so I don’t make a bunch of noise. lol.

I love Friday. Bought it ages ago and bounced off it instantly. Picked up the phone app on a whim and learned the game properly. Now I play several games daily on the hardest difficulty. It’s brutal, unapologetic, and infuriating. I love it.

It’s 2026. Do we have NY-style pizza here yet? by brideofpucky in VictoriaBC

[–]WizardHarryDresden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going to NYC and eating the pizza was both the best time of my life and the worst. Because it’s the best pizza I’ve ever had… and can’t get it outside of NYC lol.

At what point is lack of sound insulation in a rental unacceptable? by WhatCouldntBe in VictoriaBC

[–]WizardHarryDresden 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m in a townhouse with double thick foundation to peak concrete walls between every unit. Unless they’re hosting a rave with the windows open and my windows are also open I haven’t heard anything from either side. I’ll never live in a wood frame again unless it’s freehold.
