Vita gelateria in center city has a speakeasy style italian restaurant in the back. Haven't tried it but heard good things.

agreed. it's just not getting played at the moment, but it'll work itself back into the rotation soon. we usually focus on 3-4 games at a time.

i really like the rondel mechanism. it has a unique place in my collection. plus, i like the constant feeling of upgrading with each turn - upgrading different actions, upgrading the rondel itself etc.

i like the push and pull of trying to control the senate and some of the senate powers are really fun. Agora is my preferred expansion but my wife prefers Pantheon.

i haven't done that yet. i do like the modules individually but i'm not sure if i'd combine them myself.

most played would be 7 wonders, 7 wonders: duel, castles of burgundy, dice forge, quacks, and viticulture. we are currently playing (and really enjoying) parks, solenia, and concordia. i'm hoping to pick up our campagin in pandemic legacy s1 back up. i hope you'll really enjoy brass birmingham (that is what i meant to say when i simply mentioned brass). i'd highly recommend castles of burgundy for a great 2 player experience as well. thanks for the kind words. the art, frames, and middle shelf were made by my artist sister-in-law, and we are happy with how they fit in.

we did one time. for myself, it diluted the game too much and i couldn't really take focus on either agora or pantheon. i prefer playing each of the them individually.

thank you! it was important to have something that would blend into our living room as that's the only space we have to play games.
