Everdell is at the top… of everything.

It’s a strange one because it’s so much more complex than most Felds. But right now it my #2 after Castles of Burgundy.

I am aware that exists now. When I was trying to track back then I was still just tracking them on BGG and wasn't aware there was any synching available. But in any case, I don't miss tracking async plays. I do a lot of brainlessly clicking through games that people have invited me to on BGA.

I only log plays if I'm playing real-time with another human. I tried logging Async plays on BGA and that become too much of a chore to keep up with. I've never logged any app based plays against non-humans.

This is a top game I want to try!

We played Uprising last night (but with no expansions). So good.

Yeah - I was hoping to get it played last night but our game of Dune: Imperium (3 new players) went really long :)

Btw - got a chance to learn Venusian Vegas yesterday. Looks really fun and I’m excited to get it played soon!

Unfortunately we’re not making it out next week.

Was at Gamer’s Guild in AZ yesterday and saw Gems on the shelves there! Great job getting it out there!

It does indeed! I was taught the game and still couldn't use the iconography to figure out what was going on for a couple turns.

LOL - I think you misunderstand! I didn't say it was my favorite Knizia (not even close) but we laughed more playing this one then any others I've played before.

I'm not the Knizia hater on our show - that title goes to Chris. I think his designs are great!
