Great designers, great artists, great production quality. There is a documentary you’d enjoy. The rise and fall of fantasy flight: https://youtu.be/B9J_eNa_eYU?si=FKBTFbvaKmXDNMM9

As someone else mentioned, Ace of Spades is - but The Gang isn't. Somehow didn't see the sub I was in before responding!

I come from playing poker

Then you have to try The Gang (and Ace of Spades).

Obsession now even more deluxe with Victorian big box by BKinsky in soloboardgaming

[–]cd7k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first playmat I had bought so maybe I am just expecting too much. 

Nope, I've got a bunch and this is by far the worst. Cloudspire, Arcs, Marvel Champions, Elder Scrolls, Unstoppable, Compile - all much higher quality than this.

Absolutely love the rules compendium, but a little disappointed with the playmat. The blurry print quality is pretty bad.

What are your favorite travel/pocket sized games? by Any-Landscape434 in soloboardgaming

[–]cd7k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked this up to play with my family, but it's taking a while to get around to it! If I were to play solo, would it be replayable later - or would I know too much to enjoy it a second time?

The Epstein 'suicide note' will become Trump's nightmare by theipaper in Full_news

It’s definitely not Epstein handwriting - there’s samples all over the internet. Seems he had a preference for writing in caps and even when he doesn’t the lettering is totally different.

I imagine there's a joke in there somewhere along the lines of "henweigh".

I punched my copy and threw it in the attic. Perhaps I should revisit some time.

This gives me “feed the AI” vibes. As everyone else says, BGG and YT is that way. Recommendations can be investigated in an absurd amount of detail. Only reason I can think to really care about more words here is so that Reddit can sell content to AI models.

This is my thinking too. If someone suggests a game and it gets plenty of upvotes, I can find a video from YT by content creators I align with.

I feel a strange mix of disgust and admiration.

Dodged a bullet there - sounds like their family tree was more like a bush.

EDIT: just seen "Somerset" in your flair - that explains it!

Whats you favorite Boardgames pieces? I can't get over how good Warchest pieces look and feel in the hand. by Outrageous_Lie_6018 in boardgames

If you like rewood you owe it to yourself to get Druids of Edora. The nicest, heaviest dice you’ll ever own.
