Even better! He doesn't even _need_ the laxatives.

Unfortunately, we missed out at Essen. None of us realised that the indie game to get was Milch mit Abführmittel. 🤣

Food so beige it would make a euro game envious.

And shout-out to all the XX males as well.

From one person that puts in extra effort for stupid jokes only they enjoy to another: Your sacrifice is more than appreciated.

Yeah, Splotter's mantra of "If you can't lose on the first turn, why play the first turn?" is certainly divisive. I have now seen a game that was won _before_ the first turn. XD It's the whole "initial placement in Catan is (too) important" on steroids.

Finally started reading Uzumaki by Junji Itō and I can see why he is lauded for being able to pull of a jumpscare in a printed medium.

_However_, after the second "swirly cremation" maybe, I don't know, don't? 😂

They are some of the most vicious games out there.

Tough, but

Spirit Island
Food Chain Magnate
Arkham Horror The Card Game
Orléans
The Gallerist
Dominant Species
Android: Netrunner
Codenames
Yokohama
Village

When the brain keeps braining.

Nah, he's a big spoon. And he will drape his leg over you like a chair with lower back.

Me, quoting to much from The Office: Well, well, well. How the turntables...

Eat some lettuce and you are 3 out of 4 on the way there.

In programming we say: If you want to make a car, make a skateboard first. Don't make the tires, the chassis etc. and then try to combine them all later.

Japan = Babymetal?

Rammstein over Scorpions? (Not disagreeing, but interested in your opinion comparing the two.)

Have you ever been to Wacken?

Unscripted? Can't wait for Catan - The Improv Show.
Dream cast would include @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social, @rossbryant.bsky.social, @vicmmic.bsky.social etc. Basically everyone from @dropout.tv. @samreich.bsky.social should get on this.

Little Pete from the TV show Pete & Pete time travelling when the clocks turn back.

Anyone else remember this classic?
Also: RIP Michelle Trachtenberg

My most used reaction GIF, however, is Darryl from The Office (US) going "yay".

Tom! This is a family show!

Anyone promising free Hagelslag for everyone? They would get my vote!

Or in other words: Do you have a Count Binface or APPD in The Netherlands?

Billionaire? ;)

What's the floor space for GenCon like? I've always heard it's maybe twice the size of SPIEL Hall 3. If so, either most people are only there for a short(er) time or it is twice as crowded or there is far less space dedicated to vendors.

Where do you send people for crimes worse than The Hague can handle?

They do! It's in the 3F120 shop shared among several publishers, so the queue is correspondingly long. :(

The cards are your leaves and you need to shed them to "blow" them to your opponent. You're welcome. (cc @peersylvester.bsky.social)

You're in Berlin?!?
*waving from Potsdam*
Unfortunately, I won't have time for another trip back to Berlin before going to Essen.

Yep, that's what we missed. It's the same for the council cards: If it says: "New Action (Normal Action)" it replaces the normal action. Otherwise the council cards that give you resources instead of doing the actions would be too good.

Ha ha! I had Rebel Rifles once, too. Too bad the powers don't combine. It's still fun to be like: Either I shoot you from afar or I shoot you up close. Like _real_ close. With a lot of damage.

This is Dagda receiving the distress call. Morgendämmerung is ready to be deployed for additional support.
