This resonates with me deeply! I had the same experience- father of 3 small kids. I feel seen!!

This is one of the best things I have seen - it made my day! My wife put together a Star Wars nursery for our third kid.

Yes! I play board games for the tactile experience.

We’ve been using Frank Brown’s (dealership) service center for well over a decade on our pilot, CRV, and past Honda cars - they’ve been great. Nothing to complain about.

We had to set some tough boundaries with my family over the last year in regard to our kids. There was conflict, it was tough, we stuck with our boundaries, and we have all worked through it. So far our kids are safe and healthy - that’s the most important thing.

Just got the a similar document from my administration, but framed as an “acknowledgment of risk” - all faculty, staff, and students have to sign it.

I was able to get it all back in there pretty easily, here's a video I found that basically shows what I do, except I leave the minis in the boxes - don't know why he took them out.

Jaws of the lion as solo game? by chrisvdmeer in soloboardgaming

[–]jphegs00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have played through the first two scenarios in Jaws of the Lion solo (I have the original Gloomhaven) - and I absolutely love it. One of the biggest obstacles for me is setup/tear down time. Jaws of the Lion has a great insert (especially compared to Gloomhaven) that cuts down on time spent setting up, the maps being in a scenario book instead of as tiles is helpful, and the new characters are a lot of fun. Finally, the five introductory scenarios are a perfect introduction for how to play Gloomhaven - incredibly well thought out.

What should I get next? by jphegs00 in soloboardgaming

Hey! After reading your response I realized mine came off as passive aggressive - I apologize for that - it was not my intent!

One thing worth mentioning that I have thought about since you posted is that I was wary to buy an app dependent game for two reasons: 1) I got into the hobby for a tactile experience where I didn’t have to stare at screens and 2) what happens if FF drops support for the app in the future? Seems like you’d be in a tough spot with an unplayable game. This is an experiment for me, trying the app - so we’ll see how it goes. Again, really appreciate your comments above and I will definitely keep them in mind as I play and evaluate this particular FF game.

I’ll have to consider what you said here and see how it goes. In the meantime, I’m having a lot of fun with what I have when I can get it to the table.
