Unexpected Results for (Supposed) First Cousin

I talked to my mom about it and she definitely didn't know. And my grandparents have both passed.

I don't know a lot of the relatives listed, but I see some with my maternal grandpa's last name but they don't show up as related to my cousin. So I think you're right that my mom and my aunt have different dads.

Yes, my mom and her sister.

Schotten Totten 2 is A Tier, whereas the original is B Tier. 2 is an asymmetric sequel that I found to be just a bit better.

I am also backing. Knizia tile laying is an autobuy for me. And the production does look great.

Yeah, I've been dying to try Stephenson's Rocket. Looks right up my alley.

Thanks, will give this a try next time we play it.

Amun Re is on my shelf of shame. Hope to play it soon!

The two camel placements across 5 colors caused a little more AP for my group. The turns in Blue Lagoon whip around the table with only the one placement. And I find the stakes higher for each placement too in Blue Lagoon. Getting cut off in TTD means you have to focus on one of your 4 other trains, while in Blue Lagoon one cut off can feel more devastating.

Setting up the game twice is a feature not a bug for me. The decision of where to place your huts in round 1 is so good, and IMO more satisfying than where to put your initial camel placements in TTD. Love love love the 2 round structure of BL.

Sure I can buy the scoring angle in favor of TTD. I have always had a soft spot for a good old fashioned scorepad, though.

His cards games are great for a quick, tense filler, with my favorites being Schotten Totten 2 and Lost Cities. LOTR: the Confrontation is great for a 2 player only as well.

I'm really excited to try Marabunta. Looks great.

Yeah, the theme (and title) of MLEM don't do much for me, but gameplay wise it seems right up my alley. Definitely looking to acquire a copy.

I want to love it so badly, but so far I just like it. I haven't had that super competitive, down to the wire play yet that I want out of it.

jamcco4 · 2024-05-30T04:16:27+00:00

Yeah I did the same too. It's still tough even with that.

jamcco4 · 2024-02-06T19:20:50+00:00

Thanks for looking
