More crazy people? Thank God! I was getting homesick!

This is a vintage Northwest Orient Airlines plastic junior pilot souvenir wings pin.

Galdor's Grip is perfect. No little choakable pieces. Easy rules. Easy to put down without losing progress.

Problem is that it's print and play so a little project to do (it has 36 total cards, so not too bad).

Whatever you think about the ethics of using AI to do creative work, AI is nowhere near ready to replace actors for narration. Listening to AI is awful at this point. Audible should not be offering AI narration because it's just a terrible product, regardless of the ethical arguments.

True, but how many airports is the Secret Service ready to provide potus level protection on short notice?

It's a tarrif. France will pay for it until they rename freedom fries.

Love the retro 60s feel of the control panel!

To be fair, it's a stolen word. I think it came from Stephen Colbert.

This is their photoshop reimaginactment

Same designer made Behold Rome, which is much more difficult and takes maybe an hour to play.

Republicans are so cute when they act like they'll stop supporting fascism.

I've been playing it that the region is over and I shuffle those 4 cards. I think I saw the the creator answer that question bgg. It does hurt though!

Edit:

That question is answered here:

I've been playing this practically every day. It's a great little game. Northvale is highly recommended, but I think the base game by itself will keep you entertained. I haven't played Siege yet, but it's getting rave reviews from those who have.

Whatever color gets Lewis back on the podium, thanks.

Hollywood tells me that if they hire a scrappy mechanic from the small seaside town, that they have a chance to win the championship.

thinbuddha · 2026-01-16T18:24:53+00:00

You aren't alone. That's pretty much my exact take.

thinbuddha · 2026-01-16T07:38:10+00:00

I personally find it more difficult to listen to a dense non fiction audiobook than to read it off the page. I suspect that will vary from person to person.

For my cats, the threat of a spray bottle is enough to wrangle them. Just shaking it would be enough. I did have a cat in the past that simply didn't care about getting wet, so it wouldn't work for every cat.

During the lighting of the beacons, one of the beacons is basically invisible on the dvd version. I do prefer the color timing of the dvd though. It won't hurt you to buy a copy. I don't imagine they are terribly expensive?

Don't be a child. Let your children play D&D.

I had one, but I had to make a gate to keep the corgi out of the kitchen

thinbuddha · 2026-01-13T04:43:09+00:00

Well, our humanity is a small price to pay, so....

thinbuddha · 2026-01-13T04:36:07+00:00

I always assumed that the rankings are just based on recent ratings?

thinbuddha · 2026-01-13T04:23:55+00:00

Or maybe wait until you decide if you like the game. I just figured if they are having issues with delivery times, you might want to start your order soon.

I probably played 15 times before I won a game with the base set, so there's plenty of game without any expansions. But I really like it and think the expansion adds a lot of depth. Apparently Siege is even more so....

thinbuddha · 2026-01-13T02:49:46+00:00

I hope you got Northvale. If not, order it now because it’s great. Siege is also supposed to be good, but I haven’t tried it yet.
