I have that as my set. Just have to be super careful about the lid staying on tight or pieces slide around. I use a box band.

I snipped - and then cut the box down to half height!

the real tragedy with AI Space Puzzle is that I saw a small box version at Essen. I haven’t taken a picture of my box but there is more air inside than my phone can photograph

I’m so tired. I was wondering what a “phone can” was, and if you meant you’d photographed it earlier in this thread.

This falls into other tragedies.
Every few months or so I head back to Leicester and there’s a dead boardgame cafe and for what must be over a year now they’ve had this just sitting there in the window
It’s pretty depressing to think that world probably hasn’t moved an inch past March when they found out about transparent folk but at least the pandemic hasn’t got worse I guess.
I swear that box has not moved an inch.

Under “other tragedies”: the cards in Petrichor are so difficult to shuffle and deal that I gave in and sleeved them 
I don’t know what it is about the card material, but they might be easier to shuffle if they were made of sandpaper

The game in the blue box used to retail in a box the size of one of the yellow boxes.
The cards in this big box are much bigger than the old ones, but the game very nearly still fits into the yellow box – it only needs about another 3mm of height to prevent the tokens creating some lid lift.
With a slightly larger zip-lock bag for the tokens, to better fit the dimensions of the box, the height difference would be next to nothing. The box on the right contains the 6 nimmt instructions + the No Thanks cards and tokens, with the tokens loose:

My husband and I are foster parents. A couple weeks ago we welcomed a 5 year old to our home on what is expected to be a long term placement (months?).
My in laws got him a Bluey memory game. So much empty space.

Yeah, but it’s Bluey-related and therefore brilliant and any small flaws can be easily forgiven.

I will put this one in “other” tragedie
For such a good game to have such chaos with editions and epxansions… is a tragedy. First the original game had such tiny cards it was difficult to play with them. Then a new edition comes out with improved art and better card sizes but… there are two versions the Ravensburger and the Lautapelit one and who even realizes before buying them that it’s not just a question of language…
Top row showing:
- Ravensburger size vs Lautapelit size.
- Also: Guide Card is Smooth, Explorer’s linen finish (during play it may not matter so much, I’ll figure it out, have yet to bring it back to the table)
Bottom Left:
- Might be hard to spot but I am lazy. The base game like the Ravensburger version has 4 player colors: Red, Yellow, Blue and White. The expansion changes white to green. Great!
Bottom right just shows the covers of the expansion collection and the base game to prove that I am really using the same publisher for both.
I should have stuck with just the Ravensburger version and saved myself from all of this.

You could potentially know which card is next in your deck based on the finish of the card, which would allow you to plan ahead in a way that you’re not really meant to be able to do in a deckbuilder (outside of card counting when your deck is thin). Sleeving probably solves that though.
