Do you regret having to wait so long after talking @2muchenthusiasm.bsky.social out of getting it? 😂 In all seriousness that thing looks insane! Can’t wait to hear about it on the pod

The rulebook isn’t bad to just read right through as well. There are key rules that may seem understated, like having to also pay Provisions when besting warriors, that may be forgotten but are key to the resource contention between those and recruiting more people instead. GL! 🌊

I knew nothing of it and haven’t read the books. I saw the campaign launch for the game and was equally surprised at the reception as much as I was for my disinterest in it. It almost looked like a shock value pull that is below my age bracket despite on paper being up my alley. Or…

The plurality, humbly requesting a top 3-5? I’m sure I could guess them, holiday themed content is a layup you can have in the can for a rainy day. I still really want to play Abomination some day.

It’s on the top, that means it’s up next in the queue right? 😂

I love punching and sorting a new game. Perhaps I can start a small business where I can cater to those by punching and sorting their games for them as a service. Just have to figure out shipping. 🤔

My BGHT ‘starter kit’ arrived from Redbubble. Almost balked on the tote bag but it fits games from the library perfectly!

I was always happy to hear your shared stories of playing games with your family, and how formative your father was in playing with you when you were young. It’s unique to have a family who shares in your hobbies, or at least entertains them with you. I know you cherished that shared time well.

One of my favorite easter eggs in reading board game rulebooks is how the designer helps the players decide who goes first in unique and theme related ways. Rajas of the Ganges a fine example of what designers should always strive for, and not, “Decide who goes first.” Or, “Flip a coin.”

Yeah my buddy had his friend build him a table that he paid just for the wood and it was probably $1800. It was more for a practice build but the final product, and the time (and tools required he borrowed from his dad’s shop), easily would put it up there.

Awe I’m sorry to hear that Tim. Strange that it didn’t even fit, or leaving it to you to cut to size. My wife got me a mat for our table and it works well, and for the price. But I still am working towards the true purpose built table, albeit not practical, still useful (I hope).

When we moved to Oregon we bought a round table we thought would fit our new dinning space and our longer table wouldn’t. We liked our old table better. I have a table to game on just not one made for it. I am really keen on one though so I can have a game setup and ready to go. One day perhaps!

Living in the high desert of Bend I’ve noticed some of my board games or player boards or even cards will warp after unboxing and setting out for a few days. Curious if I’ll have a similar warping issue with a table topper or what the deal is with that (lack of humidity?)

Looking into a Board Game table for some time in the future and listening back to BGHT’s episode about it. @boardgamehottakes.bsky.social did you ever get the new felt for your Jasper table and @2muchenthusiasm.bsky.social did you ever end up getting or building your own table?

I went with 40 games for the Ark Nova solo at Nightmare^2 (Games I Own and have played with 5 Modifier cards). I barely edged out a victory with 141 before almost running out of card draw on the 4th turn. If I pulled one more minus COOP I would have been done for as I only have 3 Warfighting games.

For posterity: I own 36 of the 377 games in The Game Makers (42 if you count digital versions and a few I culled last month 😅).

I can appreciate that, and feeling the same for my (not as long but greatly anticipated crowdfund) excitement and hesitancy waiting for Spirit Fire to deliver. I suppose worst case it’s mediocre, because if it’s flawed it’d make for great ‘pod’ al la Ragnarok.

How was Santorini? It seems perfect for my kids with the production but didn’t know if it’s a bit heavy with the asymmetric player abilities.
