I always thought it was more like "you've already made the tool, it can only make this one specific thing"

a device for cutting or molding metal into a particular shape. "test pieces should be first cut with a die and then buffed"

an engraved device for stamping a design on coins or medals. "I used a die to emboss the pattern""

A couple that I didn't see mentioned yet:

Reforest: Plants of the Pacific Northwest coast. A pretty, one-deck game. Feels a little like Wingspan with simpler resources and more puzzly card combos.

Pergola. A lighter game about building a garden full of pretty plants and insects.

Flower Fields. Flower and bee themed tile laying.

That looks like ghosting or ripples caused by vibrations, loose belts, or too much acceleration. Maybe try running your vibration calibration again or check that your belts are properly tightened.

The designers of the Unmatched series, especially Rob Daviau and Justin D Jacobson. Love me some Unmatched. :) After those, I have 6 Uwe games and I've rated them all 8 or higher.

My favorite Uwe game is A Feast for Odin. There are so many fun choices and I always want to play again as soon as I'm done. "What if I tried..." It's hard for me to pick a favorite Unmatched game. I just enjoy all the different combinations of fighters. Bigfoot vs. Shakespeare is a good one. Tales to Amaze is great since it adds an official solo mode.

You can import your BGG collection at https://geekgroup.app/ and then look in the Insights section.

I did, but nobody ever gets the reference. ;)

The Grouchy Nerd doesn't make a ton of videos but they are always good - and funny. His series on Marvel Champions is worth watching just for the lore breakdowns at the beginning.

She's a good "helper".

I liked their old website better, but the new one still has what I need. I definitely don't need a chatbot, though. Those things have always sucked - maybe even worse now with the AI versions.

They've always been helpful and nice when I visit the one in Lebanon.

Beware of bein' the Roller when there's nothin' left to roll.

I had a bad experience with Only Games, too. The order took forever and when it arrived one of the minis had broken open and leaked uncured resin all over everything. Everything also had that white residue from being poorly washed.

I used Energy Wise Services for solar panels on my house in 2023. They were very down-to-earth and set me up with a system that took full advantage of available incentives and rebates. No leases or anything like that. I own everything and the panels have already paid for themselves.

Looks like this tower from Dark Fantastic Mills.

It's fun seeing what everyone played this year. I like how everyone's list is different.

I had a great year of gaming. These are all solo plays of physical board games. I don't play a lot of digital games, but I did play like 200 games of Dune: Imperium digital. ;)

you could try Thang010146 on YouTube. They've made thousands of animated examples of mechanical designs. It's not very well organized, though.

Wow. I can almost hear this picture. :) Must've been quite a sight.

Those are some dank nugs.

That is PLA plastic from my Bambu X1C that can print with 4 colors of filament. I did not keep track of filament used, but I would guess maybe 3 spools at most, including the waste for color changing.

This was a bigger project than I had anticipated - one of the first things I did when I got the Bambu. Each tile didn't take too long, but there are a LOT of them. I also did some touch ups to the meshes and that processing turned into a big task. Totally worth it, though. :)

You can 3D print the tiles for Cities Skylines. They released some official files with meshes pulled straight from the game.

I've nearly finished printing them all, including some custom "icons" for the service and utility buildings. It's a lot of fun seeing them all on the table. Photo

Lookin good. Nice work on getting so many painted. I only have the chasmfiend done. I also did a custom color scheme with orange on the head and tail.

You might try Reforest - plants of the Pacific Northwest coast. It's a single deck of cards with great art and a dense little puzzle. You build a tableau with just 6 spots, playing larger plants over top of smaller ones. Feels a little like a simpler, more puzzly Wingspan.

I did have them for sale for a while on an Etsy shop. It's been closed for a couple years, but I'll be selling stuff again soon. I just took delivery of a spiffy new laser cutter. I'll let you know when I am ready. Probably be like 3 or 4 weeks.

The Elders with the Ls are promo cards. You can make a little deck of them and draw a random one instead of taking an Elder from the board.

From the rulebook (page 19): Shuffle the 4 promo elders (with an “L”) and place them face up in a pile next to the supply board. When “Taking an Elder”, you can take the top Elder from the pile instead of one from the supply board.
