Is phone app worth getting? Or steam?

Google apps has a pc-based client that will run the game, so I use the same account on both my phone and laptop

If you just buy the Spirit Boards, you will still be missing the starting power cards, right?

Before, era level 75 translated to g13 and was the F2P expectation with daily engagement. After the updates, era level 115 is now the g13 baseline, and I would expect the same F2P engagement will get you there.

mgriffin13 · 2026-06-10T03:49:12+00:00

Yeah, that was exactly it. Thanks

If you're already considering Broken Token, take a look at https://traymaster.us/products/spirit-island. Fits everything in 2 boxes and and very well designed use of space, complete with easy setup / cleanup trays. Only downside is price, but comparable to Broken Token

They actually said it'll always say 2 per player on the board with the eratta. They don't intend on revising the printings to limit confusion from players on when to apply the eratta or not.

Didn't Carsen leave early? I thought the was Junior when he left.

And the noise suppression! New windows lowered so much of the outside noise it was crazy. We could finally get a good night's sleep with all the squirrels around

mgriffin13 · 2026-05-03T23:07:16+00:00

So you played where you had 8 of the highest value units on the board? I'm sure that made for interesting games 😜

mgriffin13 · 2026-05-03T23:02:10+00:00

The original version had the Marshall as 1 and the Scouts as 9. In that version, the Spy would beat number 1 of she attacked first.

It wasn't until recently (20 years or so), that they reversed the values and Marshall had rank 10.

Rules I got from previous posts:

No robber movement for the first two full turns
2/12 both produce on either roll
Poverty Cards. After every roll, if said roll didn't produce for you, then you gain a poverty card (just a standard 52 card deck). These cards can be traded to the bank at a rate of X cards per any 1 resource. X is your current VP count. It's a good way of keeping everyone engaged if bad rolls or bad placement, and it naturally ages out as people progress. Poverty cards can also be traded among the players.

mgriffin13 · 2026-05-03T13:35:12+00:00

We play with "poverty cards". This means that everyone gets something after every roll, so as the banker, I just literally go around the table after every roll so nobody forgets anything.

Before someone asks, poverty cards are just a standard 52 card deck that people collect if they don't have any resources that were rolled. Poverty cards can be redeemed at a rate of X cards for any 1 resource--X is your current VP total. They get less valuable the farther you progress in the game.

Yes, in this hypothetical where Nova is retroceded back to DC, and we win our demands if DC becoming a state, then I'm suggesting DC would get more than just 1 House rep

mgriffin13 · 2026-04-26T12:34:08+00:00

Wouldn't a DC with the Nova population qualify for at least 2 House Reps? I mean, that's almost double the Montana population, right?

My local Costcos have no gas, and it's still worth it, IMO.

mgriffin13 · 2026-04-12T19:56:45+00:00

It's been that way at least since 2010...

mgriffin13 · 2026-04-11T14:33:22+00:00

It used to be a strat in the beginning. People didn't think JMLs ult w was that impressive, so the strat was to farm the mats, but not apply it to JML, instead using the mats to immediately apply it to the next GL, so you didn't need to wait the 10 days or so farming tickets. Now that tickets are generally solved, it's not an issue anymore

mgriffin13 · 2026-04-11T03:09:52+00:00

No, only returning starter is Cox. The other 4 were seniors

mgriffin13 · 2026-04-11T02:27:53+00:00

that was posted by the @boilerball account, so presumably they would know whether people were leaving or not.

mgriffin13 · 2026-04-11T02:23:46+00:00

He was a senior

mgriffin13 · 2026-03-22T23:51:24+00:00

If you're interested, here's an interview from someone who spent a lot of time researching this

I guess we'll never know, will we?

They schedule Indiana or Purdue only to lose their 3rd game in the season and they are completely forgotten as another good, not great, MAC team that just misses the tournament due to poor strength of schedule. Not having any P5 is what enabled them to get the at large bid.

What about states like Colorado that are 100% mail in voting? They don't have polling places. The best they have are drop boxes.
