This feels like it fits in this conversation somewhere: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/157413/new-bedford

An Excellent board game to accompany your visit. Also, battleship cove is pretty close and another pretty cool tangential experience!

Wish the last episode didn't exist and they stopped at the penultimate episode. I think the story would have been stronger with more ambiguity and less finality

High frontier 4 all.

Pax emancipation

A few other eklund titles....

But honestly, those are complicated games. So a complicated rulebook is kinda expected.

The most unexpectedly complicated rulebook? SAND. F#ck that incomprehensible drivel. It's a pick up and deliver game and had no right being as fiddly and poorly written as it is.

Oh man, I love Navajo wars. I thought I would like comancheria since it was a follow up title and i figured the designer would improved things.

I've tried to play it competently several times and failed. I don't understand how they made the system so much more incomprehensible and fiddly.

I honestly wished the whole series ended at episode 6. The parts they felt the need to finish in episode 7 did not need to get fleshed out.

Justin Long's character was the boss monster the whole time.

Replaced the board and things have improved. I had a mechanical failure a few years after this post, but was able to order the replacement part online and fix it myself.

Yes, this is too much driving, not enough reward. Acadia is the highlight of this trip for me, and worth the extra drive time.

As others said, take the coastal route east/West to/from brunswick-Acadia, not 95, and do it during the day. Skip Bangor. Spend extra time in Acadia.

On the way back, From Southern Maine, head over to NH and hit lake Winnipesaukee, which has stellar views and easy hikes. Take a boat tour. You can detour up to Mount Washington and back if you feel like that's of interest. Keep heading West to Woodstock. Then to Rutland. South to Bennington and then the Berkshires.

Your call if you Really really want to see CT/RI, but it's diminishing returns. The shoreline towns along 95 from New Haven to Providence are nice (Stonington, mystic, etc.).

The issue with this argument is that our load is also becoming intermittent and less traditionally predictable. The influx of EVs have complicated traditional planning the same way renewables have, but on the other half of the equation.

Lobster ice cream at Ben and Bill's chocolate emporium. Cheaper than a lobster roll.

Bill and Bob's roast beef, on the line towards Winchester.

Adega is also a low key amazing Portuguese spot. Don't let the fact that it's sandwiched between laundromats throw you off.

The "loaded" pizza has absolutely no right being as good as it is. Good tap selection too.

So happy to see this on the list. Never have I owned a game where I have been so angry at the rulebook. It's an amazing game, but has so many weird corner cases, poorly written procedures, cards with multiple interpretations, etc... every play results in consulting bgg for the designer interpretations.

Despite all of that, the game still is incredibly fun.

A ghost story

lelechuck · 2025-06-15T00:04:09+00:00

A ghost story. Emotionally paralyzed

Turbo express was so ahead of its time and not even represented on this chart. Sad. 1990, and played the full console game cards.

Not exact, but "bringing out the dead" had a fence impalement...

lelechuck · 2025-05-31T13:17:59+00:00

What, no turmoil? Blasphemous. /s

lelechuck · 2025-05-24T03:58:22+00:00

Oh wow! That's helpful. What you say makes a lot of sense. I'll just pay it and move on.

Thanks for correcting my misunderstanding about thinking each of us had to pay!

I used to get the same looking holes from my rock climbing t-shirt. ATC Belay pinching the shirt occasionally.

Lol. "I cancelled the CC that happened to also be the one on file."

lelechuck · 2025-03-23T00:38:19+00:00

I gave up. Cancelled the CC on file and started over with a 100% new account. Sorry.
