I can confirm that Summer Pavilion is just a little too complicated to be some people’s first Azul game, although it might be the best one once you’ve got the basics.

Yeah, haven’t 18XX’ed much ('99 irl, MS, 46 and 99 online) but it was loads of fun.
Less stock market, more good trains. The first time 18XX player won by getting three company directorships with three permanent trains. Whilst mine tanked into receivership.

Mainly about whether you have a time machine to fit all this in

After a holiday hiatus managed to play some Spirit Island today. Finder of Paths Unseen and Shroud of Silent Mists took on Hapsburg Braganza at level 4. I think I might be getting to grips with Finder, I think it might be a very powerful spirit but the learning curve has a steep start. I think Shroud could be a good companion so I won’t get too excited about my skill level yet. I did manage to get my starting board unexplorable apart from the coasts by the third turn so that was good. I’ll be interested to see how many ways this spirit can be played and what the variations in the board control are against more adversaries. Russia and England are so tough and Brandenberg Prussia is so fast I can see them being really challenging. Also coupling up with less aggressive spirits will be a tough. Shrouds is so deadly having penalties for killing as Finder was not so problematic. Good start to a complex spirit starting to click a bit

Including my best-looking effort in a while:
This is about the 4th or 5th time I’ve scored 12… I got 13 points the very second time I played, and I’ve never equalled it since.

Really? I found the original way trickier due to the weird scoring - felt I had to supervise people for the scoring for most of their first game - people were forever asking me ‘so how many points does this piece give me?’ With Summer Pavilion, sometimes folks don’t grasp the bonus pieces completely on their first play but I’ve found it way easier to explain how to play and for folks to grasp.

I was a con. Pretty slow pace, as I was gaming from 10 am to 11 pm (ish)

21 games in 13 hours is mad fast, even if some of them are filler-length. I’m agog that it wasn’t a longer duration.

Aha! I am no longer agog :)
I was a con
Something along the lines of “I Was a Teenage Werewolf”?
Edit: I Was a Gog.
