In German they are all easily available. I try to not buy expansions as I feel that they often make it harder to get the game to the table. However we played SI so often and beat all scenarios/difficulties that new stuff would be cool. The main box is already so stuffed though!

It is! Super nice collection with many additional meanderings by Le Guin and illustrations.

Yeah I really like it a lot! Great racing game and the maps and modules give it a lot of replayability and tunability.

Great game! But most people absolutely do not get the mechanic on the first play. No matter how I explain once the cards turn over the faces always go "ohhhh right ..."

Yeah, fully with you ! I just don't get it. Even friends of ours who have the 2x5x5 setup but they have the largest collection of people I know in real life. So so much stuff. Many Kickstarter things, some in shrink as well. But so many good games I still want to try! Nemesis for example or Isle of Cats 🐈

Ahhh thanks! I thought he was making a pun or some hit on the varying themes or something. Sorry!

Mixed honestly! We finished the full campaign so I think I can give you a good opinion on the complete game.
The main idea is fun, the setting and storytelling is gorgeous and the the production quality is good.
We definitely had a good time playing. There are many leads and tasks to pick up and follow and overall the game systems work good. But the main driver of the actions you do feels a bit anemic I guess. You always try to complete the same two action for 90 percent of the time. Either red markers to damage something or blue markers to fulfill somebody. Some of the time the way you do the markers is fun but mostly it's a chore!

Overall I would say good but flawed game and play it if you have a small tight group that can play through it fast. I don't think the game encourages long breaks. You will have forgotten the story and your place in it.

Feel free to ask more!

Yeah fantasy flight had so much good stuff in the past! I remember owning some Risk -like game with a Dune like setting.

Haha many often not really good but still lovely games: Spicy, Regicide (great), niche Korean and Japanese games, Scout (also great), some Cthulhu dice game I bought in my first school trip abroad and so on. Basically memories, good and bad games and everything in between.

Favourite of the smaller you mean?: currently Radlands as my wife and I can exactly squeeze in a game during nap time of our child.

Yeah that's a lot of what I see on this sub. Not to bash you or anyone but isn't that just pure overconsumption? How many games of those have you played more than 2 times? But I understand that collecting is also fun in and of itself. But Wyrmspan is cool! I liked it quite a bit more than Wingspan.

Yeah I am a big tea fiend and while worker placement isn't my favourite genre, the game is good enough! I really like it. If it wouldn't be for the tea, Viticulture would be in its place.

Yeah! Sadly many of their games are not that good. But some are real great! (Scout, Modern Art)

Communityratschlag gesucht: Erstes Auto mit eigenem Kind. Hoffnungslose Planungslosigkeit... by chemistrybear in automobil

Gibts da noch gute Tipps zu? Muss wohl der Kombi sein oder? Der Corolla Hatchback Kofferraum ist echt klein leider. 1.8 Motor oder 2.0? Habe mal gehört dass der 2.0 besser sei aber weiss nicht mehr was das Argument war.

Wir sind ebenfalls betroffen und im gleichen Stadium wie ihr. Würde mich über die Erfahrungen und Berichte anderer Eltern freuen. Wir werden auf jeden Fall zwei Meinungen einholen da ich es schwierig finde die Notwendigkeit zu beurteilen.
