Slight tangent but this arrived today for the water tokens for Radlands. Fits a great and stops the tokens getting jammed. ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b375aae1074fe4b6e85381882025af45dcdf77b1.jpeg) ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/3/36022f8540c927d833b745dc09cf1d6fe1570f70.jpeg) Thanks @RogerBW ---

Worryingly good colour match, bearing in mind that I’d never seen the box and you’d only seen my photographs of the filament colours. 🙂 ---

Stopped by my FLGS just to look around and found a used copy of **High Society** for $8, and since I have heard nothing but good things about it, I went ahead and picked it up. Then I also saw the new editions of the **Orleans** expansions, and since I had accrued enough points at the store for $30 off, I grabbed the Trade and Intrigue expansion as well. All told, a $3 trip. ---

I bought **High Society** to play with an ex juuuust before we broke up, and I’ve not managed to get 3 people together to play it since (covid etc), so it’s the no1 on my shelf that looks gorgeous but I’ve never got to the table. ---

I played **High Society** for the first time in ages tonight! I visited my parents for dinner and, after I’d finished doing obligatory tech support for them (including figuring out how to disable their television’s accessibility feature for the visually-impaired that was speaking aloud every action they performed with the remote control; a feature they had undoubtedly turned on accidentally via some kind of shortcut button combo, and which had apparently been driving them crazy for the past two days : ) we had time for a shortish game, and I happily taught them H.S. At the end of the second game Mum had 25,000 francs, Dad had 25,000 francs, and I had… 27,000 francs; so they were _both_ cast out for being the poorest, and I won by default : ) For a moment we thought that the 2-point luxury card that Mum had purchased for a minimal 1,000 francs in the final round had cost her the game; but then we realised that if I’d gotten that card for free it would have _just_ given me the win, so I edged it either way. I was not expecting a win, as I’d made the entertaining mistake of taking the “lose a card” card when I had no luxuries, and then enthusiastically bidding 20,000 francs on the 9 card, completely forgetting that I would have to discard whatever I acquired next. They both happily allowed me to waste my money on that : ) ---

**Zoocracy** - this one is very hard to find (due to supply). I bought it brand new with its price when I would normally prefer getting it on a trade or 2nd hand. The cartoony art should make it more palatable with its dry parliamentary politics theme - a la **Die Macher** **Summoner Wars: Jungle Elves Second Summoner deck** - Yes. I do have **SW2** now, but it’s one of the last two decks I’ve been looking for. I only need **Benders - Second Summoner deck** now ---

So in 2018, after having played Race for the Galaxy quite a number of times on the app, I was miffed it wasn’t available anywhere. Then Pegasus published/republished a German edition of the base game. The lack of expansions was disappointing but I saw Pegasus had already announced a bundle of **RftG Expansions 1-3** for Decmber of that year? I really like the game better with some of the expansions. Yeah, so this week I found out it is finally available for preorder, it is actually being made now more than 3 years later. So obviously I preordered it and because it’s not enough to qualify for free shipping… I added the upcoming expansion for Dune:Imperium: **Rise of Ix** because that game needs to expand it’s deck of cards more than anything. I bet they had this all designed and split off some content for later that’s how small the current deck is. Still waffling over the deluxe pack, I need to play the game at least a couple more times in the next few weeks to see if I am willing to shell out 50,- for that. And since neither of these is actually adding anything to my collection count (expansions are free!) and my paypal balance from selling games was still going strong… I added **Azul: Queen’s Garden** to the mix with the caveat that I get to keep only 1 Azul game. But I like the garden theme and the hex fields and I really really want to play that one. We’ll see how that goes and which one gets sold. Also the price at that shop was 8,- less than everywhere else–so moving it on should carry very little loss if I decide to do it fast. My wishlist on BGG is down to 4 games: - one of which is out of print (Antiquity) - one of which I am going to preorder as soon as I can (John Company 2, DE Edition) - one of which I’ll probably pick up next time at FLGS (So Kleever) - one of which I’ll buy as soon as it is available (Cryptid: Urban Legends, the 2 player of my favorite deduction game) There are also 3 “expansions”: the remaining Five Tribes stuff and the Terra Mystica Automa on there. ---

The deluxe pack is nice but doesn’t add much other than making combat look a bit less abstract. I would like to have seen the solari get upgraded but it offers nothing in that regard. Also with the rise of ix you are then left waiting for an upgrade for the new component to be released. ---

The Dune Imperium expansion does feel like it should have been there at the start. I find it ridiculous to believe how useless the coins become at the end felt like a satisfying outcome of any play test. ---

Well my resolution to buy fewer games is off to a great start, as after buying High Society last week, tonight I found **Night of the Ninja** at an LGS while I was waiting for the pizza parlor next door to finish making our dinner. I remember being interested in this since the AwShux demo game from last April (I think it was that one), which I know I saw on Twitch, but apparently never made it over to YouTube as I can’t find it. In any case, it is a social deduction game where there are two houses (and a ronin, for odd numbers of players) where you get a random house card at the beginning of the round, and then draft two roles. The roles give the players special abilities in the night phase, which is where the actual deduction occurs. This can be as simple as the Spy, which lets you look at another player’s house card, or the Blind Assassin, which lets you kill one of the players, taking them out of the round, as opposed to the Shinobi, which looks at a player’s house card _then_ chooses if they want to kill them. At the end of the round, all living players reveal their house cards, and the side with the lowest numbered card wins. In the event of a tie, compare the next number up until one house has a surviving number. Every player of the winning house gets an honor token, which is worth either 2, 3, or 4 points. A ronin gets an honor token if they survive. Players keep their totals secret. First player to 10 points wins. I like the idea of shifting teams, as you will get a new house card each round, and due to everyone having card abilities, you can actually have solid information to base your decisions on, not just gut instinct or thinking a player looks shifty, though those intuitions can still play a role in the game. ---

Getting a bunch of small stuff in the next couple of days. Mystic paths - a sort of codenames type game Into the blue - a dice based Reiner Knizia game high score - a nother dice based Reiner Knizia game Unter Strand - a beach game with some cool pieces (including small beach buckets) Rolling Dice (emphasis on Ice) where you roll dice far hoping to get more points. ---

**Sentinels of the Multiverse Definitive Edition** is here! ![IMG_20220117_124422_DRO](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b1a4ba70d209581aadcfeab1c874544c1b2c27d9.jpeg) ![IMG_20220117_124822_DRO](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a36bce3692b3ae6178817c08078944121483c89f.jpeg) My word that’s quite a lot of stuff. 12 heroes, 6 villains, 6 environments. And – I don’t know if other people got this, but when I read superhero comics (irregularly) I got a constant feeling of all this _stuff_ that had happened that people were referring to, and if only I’d read _that_ issue it would all make more sense. Which I assume was a deliberate attempt to make young-me buy more comics, but I get the same feeling here (except of course that the comics never existed in the first place), and now it means nostalgia – which gives me a positive attitude to this superhero setting in a way I don’t normally experience. Ordered from KS 2021-04-04; original delivery estimate 2021-11-30; arrived 2022-01-17. In a box, one sheet of bubble wrap, shrink wrap on box and foil cards sub-box, shrink-wrap on each of eleven blocks of cards. I didn’t get into this first time round because a lot of people were talking about the fiddliness of persistent conditions (a thing over here can affect the cost of a thing over there, etc.). I think that’s still true but I really like the revised rulebook (I’m a big fan of defining and then using precise game vocabulary), and I’m planning to put together a checklist at least for use when I’m soloing. ---

My three post-holiday purchases have now arrived: **Monikers** to try with my casual gaming friends and, for my soloing, **Star Realms: Frontiers** and the Spanish version of **Railroad Ink Challenge: Lush Green edition** , which I’ve submitted to BGG to add to their collection.
