I know it’s an unpopular opinion given current circumstances, but I’ve always been a huge nerd about Russia. The history, the geography, the music, etc. And as an American, I’ve always found it fascinating how U.S.-Russian relations have fluctuated over time. We’ve gone from allies, to enemies, to frenemies. This doesn’t mean I support Z or Putin, of course. What are you a nerd about?
Boardgames! I used to be more into trading card games like Magic, but got tired of the cost and constant churn, and he spent the last couple years delving deeper into boardgames, including hosting a weekly game night that regularly has 8-10 people :)
Ankh is a fun game but boi howdy does it take a while. That said though, one of my favorites it Scythe and that can take a while too. Have you been to GenCon?
I haven’t! I’ve been to a couple smaller conventions local to me, and definitely would like to attend one of the “big ones” like GenCon :-)
Love your organization! We are struggling hard with that, we have a lot of littler games and idk where to put them.
I use the bin in the lower right for some of them, but the DVD case up top is great for small box stuff!
Very nice collection. We have a few cross over. What’s your opinion of Voidfall?
It’s really fun! It’s definitely a completely different kind of game than an Eclipse or Twilight Imperium, but if you like heavy euros there’s a lot to like about it. I really enjoy the unique technologies in each game, and the ability to define your own scoring criteria through agendas.
Inis and Brian Boru!
High five.
If Innovation is not in any of those small boxes, my recommendation is to try out Innovation(because you’ve covered everything else nicely). (c:
It’s there! Right on top of the Root boxes :)
I love Brian Boru, but I’m still not very good at it! The drafting feels like it has a pretty high skill ceiling.
Perfection.
