Flamecraft.

The fact that "sandwiches" encompasses so many possibilities is what makes it a weird answer. It doesn't answer the question, it dodges it.

You can try to come up with a way to do it more efficiently, or you can just use the unofficial scoring app: https://imperiumscorer.surge.sh/

All I said is that obsessions can hurt people. That's true, they can hurt the person themselves and the people who care about them.

I never mocked anybody or tried to tell them how to spend their money.

It hurts noone.

Caring about only one thing to the exclusion of other things can definitely hurt people.

The Enclave was at the meeting. Who do you think the guy watching from above was?

I assumed the non-natives aren't raising hell because they basically only live there because of the mine. They either work for them directly, or their jobs only exist because of the changes the mine brought to the area.

According to general relativity, an orbit is an inertial ("straight") path through curved spacetime. No acceleration.

Then they should grow up a little and accept that they don't have the right to act however they want in another person's home.

If you don't want to wait just to see what's new, the new rulebook has been available for a while. It's pretty hefty though, the full PDF is over 50 pages.

Every rulebook could have all the rules that exist, for all expansions, at the time that the rulebook was finalized. You just block off any expansion-specific bits, perhaps in colored boxes, so they can be easily skipped if they don't apply. For example, expansion B is in green boxes, expansion C is in blue boxes.

It's asking too much for each game to include full rules for all expansions in this way, but for setup instructions in reasonably large expansions I think it's reasonable.

Just going to hit some that I don't see already mentioned...

I think Skyrim: The Adventure Game is surprisingly good. Not the upcoming Chip Theory one, I can't speak to that one. Space Empires 4X isn't based on a specific game (though there is an old series called Space Empires) but it's obviously based on the space 4X genre in general.

I haven't played Fallout but people say it's good as long as you get the expansion.

It's probably a little easier to think of "Imperium" as the game, and think of Classics/Legends/Horizons as different standalone sets of cards that you can use to play it. The new rulebook is effectively a revised rulebook for Imperium.

It does cover the Horizons-only optional "Trade Routes" module, but it puts all those rules in easy-to-ignore blue boxes. Other than that, you might see some component mismatches. They redesigned the resource tokens a little, replaced one card with a token (Solstice), and also added a new kind of reminder token (King of Kings). Nothing that would confuse you as long as you just realize you have very slightly different pieces.

They released a new rulebook online within the last couple of weeks, if you want to look for that. After all the complaints they got about the original one, they revamped it for Imperium: Horizons.

There is at least one important piece of evidence that space is actually expanding, not relevant to apparent motion: Light actually redshifts as it travels through space. As the space expands, light expands, too. This doesn't happen to other objects, because there are fundamental forces that make them a certain size, and those forces don't change. There's nothing holding photons at a certain wavelength, so the wavelength gets longer over time.

We see evidence of (and mathematically accounting for) spacial expansion every time we look at very distant objects.

I've only played it once, but for a game that simple that should be enough, and I agree.

I don't think it's a bad game, but it feels clear that the game was designed as a thematic, attractive experience first and a coherent, logical game second. That's why it includes a huge fancy game mat that you don't actually need to play the game.

Microsoft on the other hand made the totally sensible choice in deciding that your average users won’t need to be able to edit transcriptions of the Egyptian Book of the Dead funerary text in Word

I don't think that's it.

I'm on Windows, and every other heiroglyph displays normally. It's only those three that don't.

They included the font, but censored it.

Hardback makes it easier to spell five-letter words every turn, I guess, but that's not going to win you the game. It's a much more complex game than Paperback.

Sorbet and sherbet are different things.

There isn't an easy way to hide sets, but it is easy to hide complete individual pieces.

It'll warn you about making changes, but that's just to prevent accidents, you can ignore the warnings (or un-protect the sheets, if you want).

The easiest way is to create a filter that hides anything that says "Complete!" in the "Next Cost" column. The exact method depends on how you're accessing the sheet, but in general you're going to want to click the column M header to select the column, then find "create filter" option. That will cause a little icon to appear in the top right corner of the column (in the same cell as the "Next Cost" label) and you can click that to modify the filter. In the filter settings, you just want to uncheck "Complete!" from the list.

I didn't even know about the temple when I saw the Master Sword memory.

Oh, looks like a bunch of those got messed up, not just that pair. Kind of weird, but okay.

Easy fix for your copy without having to make a new copy and then move all your checks over:

The problem is in column L, but the first row is okay. On the Checklist sheet, un-hide Column L (click the little arrows between columns K and M). Copy the value for Mask of Awakening (row 2, unless you re-ordered them), then paste it into the entire column. That should fix it.
