There are a lot of board games out there that try to capture what Civilization brings to the table, but it is RARE to find a game that starts you off feeling like turn one of a new Civ campaign more than Stonesaga! And I've got a new tutorial for it that's up now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZWU...

Five classes you took in college/uni:
- World History of Puppet Theater
- Abnormal Psychology
- Japanese Buddhism (great class)
- Korean Buddhism (terrible class)
- German Fairy Tales and Fantastic

If you're still recovering from last night's food coma (or don't live in America/were responsible???) you probably don't want to spend too much time reading a heavy space-themed eurogame rulebook. If that's the case, then boy oh boy do I have good news for you! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hhp...

Thanks, man!
When it comes to all things Twilight Imperium, RTFM's tutorials are best in class. You want to learn the base game or expansions? Start with Shea. #boardgames @fantasyflightgames.bsky.social
Y'all want some new TI4? Oh, I've got some new TI4 if you're interested. youtu.be/riVGpUAwXVk
Absolutely
This, but for force pulling/pushing
Maybe get off discover. Follow people you like and just look at those. Considerably more enjoyable.
It was just sitting there! No jury would convict me!
Very much so, but it was also a 3p game, so that was already to be expected. But yeah, no agenda phase or promissory notes will do that
lol luckily he never actually got to move the war sun in. I was able to basically lock it in place for the round so he had to use the, and I’m not exaggerating, TWENTY fighters he built to kick me out.
It was a very pretty cloud
Kinda. We played with the twilights fall variant where you draft a bunch of different abilities. It led to some pretty silly combos
game of ti4 where one player is amassing a comically large force against me, the completely innocent haver of Mecatol Rex

And all of a sudden my desk is…well, not clean, but cleanER
lol, I do the same thing after a project is finished. It’s surprisingly cathartic!
What you experienced is worse, but I have similar concerns when I punch a game that comes with like 20 enormous bags and nowhere near enough pieces to warrant them. I suspect these two types are in cahoots.
Okay I'm gonna say it: it's really weird for large for-profit conventions to have "volunteer" staff.
Fan-run cons do that because they're non-profits and no one is getting meaningfully paid.
Professional cons are businesses and businesses need to pay for labor.
RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.
If you end up running this I'd love to know how it went. I've played the full version of Den of Wolves and had a great time. Might be interested in running this myself...

Each city is a board game title!
Multiple colors and styles!

I can’t in good conscience recommend this course of action… youtu.be/OVGW7bjkloo?...
If you got the survey email from Patreon this week, please don't skip over it. They're banging the pot about incorporating AI again.
Let them know exactly what you think about that.
