Thatās Not a Hat, cos it sounds like fun. For the record, I have an awful memory. In any game where you have facedown cards, Iām always having to check mine over and over (not cheating, just if the game allows it). Iāll get mixed up between a card I just played and one I might have played 5 minutes ago.

But thatās when you bluster and the receiving player will take it as the truth!

Obviously you have not listened to older episodes of the SU&SD podcast. I remember them talking about this once and then playing it. It is utter nonsense.

Iāve found one of the most economical ways to get expansions is to buy secondhand bundles. Often, I can get the basegame + an or some expansions for near enough to the basegame price. Then itās just a matter of selling the redundant content to recoup costs and Iām usually out about the cost of shipping, which, hopefully, is rarely more than $15.
In the case of Clinic, I got basegame + 4 expansions for the online retailer price of the base game.
Itās less a game and more gamified arguing. Effectively: marketing

Understandable. With hard to find expansions, I end up buying the base game again as part of the bundle. THen resell the base game

Stock Holdem - this one is a Hisashi Hayashi, so itās an insta-buy.

Re: Aegean Sea, wish we had a video of Chudyk playing it. Sounds like one of those things where you need to see someone work the system to jumpstart playing with it yourself.

I believe Iāve seen the site mentioned (here), but never as something which might be relevant to me. (If a site domain doesnāt end in .nz I generally donāt expect it to feature NZ-specific content, so it never occurred to me to visit it and look for a drop-down list of countries!)

Tamashiiāfinally but still surprisinglyāarrived with only a few notifications from the logistics side without mention which game this was aboutā¦ I could guess of courseā¦
I played the intro scenario last night and am pleased to report that it does a very good job teaching the game concepts and I am looking forward to playing it again with my partner
Also it is definitely the opposite end of the spectrum from Voidfall and I am not talking color palette which is quite similar

Iām just looking at the zatu Black Friday deals and some are pretty good.
Troyes for Ā£25, red rising for Ā£15, abyss for Ā£30 and Golem for Ā£32 jumped out at me.
After recent splurging I will resist.

Kienda have some big discounts this week too. Might have ordered a couple of long shots that were dirt cheap!
