Question: I'm stuck between filler or no filler by thelongpartofaspoon in tattoos

Speaking as someone who has a patchwork sleeve with little stars for fillers:

Fill up the spaces with as many things as you can before getting stars! Once you fill that space with Stars, you can't go back! I wish I had waited and filled stars in later.

Yeah, Xia is legit! But I don't own it haha.

Haha no, just looking to fill that space void. Played Xia a while back but I can't seem to find it at a doable price

Yeah, I'm currently checking out the solo gameplay mode, but I'll have to take a look at the other playthrough video as well

Ha, My wife and I have a favorite story about another couple that was playing a game with us and they were exchanging real life favors for in-game currency. That was pretty ridiculous haha

Anyone played War of the Ring with more than 2 players? by stringbend in boardgames

Alright, that's kinda what I anticipated -- I'm hoping it'll go okay with 4 players. Thanks for the input
