Not gonna lie, that looked really cool to me.

Huh. That actually made me want the game quite a lot.

Yeah, ditto. Had a quick look at my usual game store, and it’s coming out in French on 30 September and only $40. Might just take the plunge, though I’m gonna have to order something else to hit the free delivery threshold of $70.

So they included a big pointless standee of a dragon for no other reason than so that people’s photos of the game could look more attractive to other potential customers.

I’m not sure exactly where on the scale from “wasteful” to “genius” that lies, but that’s quite a move in any case.

Whoever came up with Parade’s drink coasters is probably kicking themselves for not making it a great big standee.

What’s the most pointless component you’ve ever found in a game box?

There was a rulebook I read for a BGG competition recently, I don’t think it was this game, which explicitly said “this standee is to make your game photos look good”
