57+% in favor of overturning it and it stays. Tyrant of the minority.

I want to watch this but also know it will wreck me

I’m really curious what you expect an overnight room would entail

Just found Survive (but the original 1982 one, not the reprint), which we'd played a bunch growing up, and it was perfect to play through a couple games of it for nostalgia's sake without having to buy a game I wouldn't actually play much at all beyond that.

There’s been a big bump in board games at my library, which I love and I’ve donated to, and one by my sister’s place has a whole tool lending library. Seems super nice for folks that need a power drill once every few years.

So no, you don’t have a source

We’re out here with the highest wealth inequality ever seen and you’re mad that a few folks actually have enough power to demand their fair share? Fuck off you 0.1% apologist.

What an amazingly ignorant take. 2/3 of the country is overall in favor of abortion rights so hey, you happen to live in a state against it, often due to court stacking or gerrymandering? Fuck you, maybe you die now.

Just looked up Ink & Sigil because I had no idea he’d snuck out a new series and this sounds fun!

This looks fun! Going to have to check that demo out when I get home.

Any link/info on your game? I’m down for a cozy game with a bit more core gameplay

 
 

It was down to the wire but got my 9x9 done for the year! It was an eclectic mix of games this year and there were some that I wish I'd played more often just didn't make the time.

Quick thoughts on them all:

  1. The Crew - Really fun, starts out getting you in the groove and feeling smart about your team and your choices and then quickly ramps up. I'd like to be able to play it with the same people a bit more often as too many times there'd be one or more first timer and we'd start from mission one for them to get in the groove.
  2. Dungeon Rush - A super quick and fun reaction/slap game. Great to start or end an evening of board games.
  3. Frosthaven - Huge, complex, ridiculous in it's scope. Love this game so much and can't wait until our next session in a few days when we should have our first retirement.
  4. No Thanks - chill and great to play while hanging out at a bar. Some of the funniest on purpose or inadvertent hate drafting you can get.
  5. Sequence - My wife loves this one and I haven't really been a fan, but we've been playing it more 1v1 recently and I think it shines a lot more that way versus as a group game. Still not my favorite but it's grown on me a lot this year.
  6. Space Base - One of our favorite games, year after year. Still my top roll and collect card game.
  7. Taverns of Tiefenthal - A great follow up to another of our favorite games, Quacks of Quedlenberg, and one that was initially a "yeah, this is pretty fun" but really shines as you add more modules in. The expansion especially took it to the next level I feel.
  8. Ticket to Ride Legacy: Legends of the West - This was a very pleasant surprise for me. TTR has always been a 'eh it's fine' game for me but my wife loves all of them, and I love legacy games, so I jumped on this for her when it released. It's so much fun, full stop. Takes the TTR mechanics and does some really interesting stuff with them, and every game is adding something fun and new. Big recommend.
  9. Whirling Witchcraft - Another good quick game that has a great engine building while screwing your neighbor mechanic.

Honorable mentions:

  1. Aoens End Legacy of Gravehold - Got seven plays in and it's hard but so fun. Hoping we can finish this one up in 2024.
  2. Twilight Imperium - by hours my most played game this year, but that's because the four games of it added up to more than 10 games of Frosthaven. So much planning to get a game of it going but nothing really hits like it for ridiculous scope.
