Alternatively, and hear me out on this, could could have actually reported the news a decade ago. Instead you get to write "feel good" articles about how best to eat shit

Unless they're from Newfoundland, they better be prepared for me to reply "my guy"

It really seems like they do. Every interview I've read has them being like "ya, this is insane, but I very much *want* to remain grounded"

Aww, thank you! Though now I'm understandably curious about yours, and maybe possibly afraid? I feel like this is the correct response

I've played about a quarter of it. I set the whole thing up, did the rule talk, and then the person I was playing with got sick about an hour in and we couldn't play. But even those first impressions were great! I'd recommend watching a tutorial and doing a solo, but its 100% worth the time

A big thing that keeps my collection smaller than a lot of other board game enthusiasts is that I'm not a fan of tie-in stuff. Stuff like Star Wars, LotR, and GoT have a tonne of themed content, and even if the games are solid, they just aren't my cup of tea. No shade though! That looks awesome!

So I guess if those are the parameters, I'm taking out first place because I figure I can still get it myself. But if its a lower point total game I'm not targeting anyone. Just gonna tinker and see what works

Well are we talking about a point salad where the winning score is like 100+ points and 5-10 is an achievable gap, or something where 20 is a winning score and you're not gonna catch up no matter how hard you try?

Generally neither, if I'm being honest. I just accept that I'm gonna lose and maybe try out one or two new things for my next playthrough
