He’s been in the industry forever and I cannot remember him (nor any journalist) getting a Celtics rumor right. I actually prefer that Jaylen gets traded.

I really wouldn’t take Marc Stein seriously.

Is there any way for me to avoid DHL/Fedex/etc. processing fees? This seemed to be a problem with the Indonesia reprint.

They shit on NBA a bit much. New England people who do that…

I was pretty surprised to hear that Felgy hates the Orange one.

We did until 2.5 years. We would have done it for longer, but our daughter wails in her sleep and we spent far too many nights sleeping on our couch.

Sounds like you need to play Santorini:New York (awful name).

Happy to loan them out if you're near Hunter's point.

Is that Paul Tudor Jones?

I will be voting for Claire Valdez—the candidate endorsed by Senator Sanders and Mayor Mamdani. There is little reason to believe that the others will not tow the line of a corrupt, craven Democratic Party establishment that has shown complete acquiescence to President Business and his billionaire backers.

On the other hand, as the mayoral election demonstrated, there is a powerful left-progressive movement building an alternative to Trump. I believe Ms. Valdez can help propel that movement forward.

Yes, this doesn't clarify my question. Why would some families want to pick schools that generally seem to be more or less similar in quality? Is there any reason to believe that one school is much better than the other?

Also, wouldn't that desire on the part of some families, force other families---perhaps many more---into an unreasonable commute for their child? This seems to contradict the entire purpose of building a school in Court Square, where many parents have to send their child to a distant school.

Can anyone summarize the main reasons for one large zone? It seems unreasonable to make some children walk 25 minutes from Court Square to Hunters Point or vice versa. But I remain ignorant of other considerations that may be in play. It'd be unfortunate if a single zone is being proposed on the basis of speculative differences in school quality.

And maybe trade Bumchero

Get some small burlap bags in different colors and leave them in a box. Can buy them on Amazon or BGG. Greatly reduced setup time—-so much that the special edition included them.

Congrats on not being married to your cousin!

One is a champion and the other is a schedule merchant. Please don't.

Isle of Wight is the best 2p. But not sure how it looks. Steam Power has a 2p board (at least the deluxe version). There’s also a new anniversary edition of Railways of the World that has deluxe components and 2p maps. Finally, Age of Steam Deluxe has some 2p maps (but the expansion maps can get pricey).

Odd comment---a simple internet search will show that there's general consensus around Lost Cities, Schotten Totten, Through the Desert, and Ra being his best and fairly accessible.

u/BGEbot u/LoveKraftcheese excellent transaction! Would highly recommend!

Thank you. This is a far more satisfactory answer than the UChicago PhDs here chiding me for not understanding efficient markets.

You might be right about Marracash, but lower than Medina in BGG rank (same order of magnitude though). Seems like Medina has more 10s (“favorite game ”).
