My last play of BGG.Con was Old King's Crown.
The cultists rolled us in rd1 - killed both assassins and built an advantage that lead to winning 8 of the first 9 battles. We started being able to match by rd 4 and 5 but was way too late. Final scores: 18, 11, 6

The Old King's Crown is totally my jam. Plots and schemes. Confrontational to the extreme. Trying to ride the wave of chaos to squeak out precious points. And the art is beyond luscious.

Earlier this year an insurance company's claims managing AI decided I was at fault for a traffic accident in Texas when I hadn't driven more than a mile from my house in Connecticut that day.
So yeah - this technology is shit. And the burden of dealing with mistakes is passed on to us.

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

I want teleportation and a functioning democracy by the end of 2027, but we all have to live with certain realities
So they're going to do this for one, maybe two games. It'll be full speed ahead until it's 6 months from release and the game is falling apart, at which point they'll pay an insane overtime rate for a QA studio to do it last minute which won't be enough.

I don't drink coffee so not crossing this picket line won't be difficult for me, but the rest of you should probably be prepared to caffeinate in an alternate fashion
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.
