My teenage kid has been looking forward to this weekend all week long. I cannot imagine making the experience terrible.

I can’t even imagine. We weren’t in a hurry, but 14 hours? That’s hard core.

Yeah, that’s not how that works. If it feels unfair, they just won’t ever play again…

I found out this afternoon that I was using the most OP team we have, and they were using a finesse team…. It was a massacre.

It’s the most complicated build I’ve done. My wife and I did it together over like six months.

I have a thing for big Star Wars sets….

But I have zero Death Stars.

My house has a room in the basement that’s like 15’ wide and 35’ (?) long. It’s the man cave….

I think it’s a bit longer. It also doesn’t have the janky magnets…

Picture of a card catalog with a bunch of LEGOS on top of it.

Front left is a Lego Soundwave, then there are nine little AT-ATs. The smallest is about an inch tall. The biggest is about four inches tall.

Behind them is a LEGO Star Destroyer. It’s about three feet long.

And behind that is a towering AT-AT that’s probably 30” tall.

My wife has an AT-AT herd…

That’s the one that’s closer to me right now. The newer one is about 10 feet further away.

Useful rule for parents learning to play Kill Team with kids:

Before hopping into a versus match with everyone’s favorite Kill Teams, maybe play a few Joint Ops missions where you work together to use the same team. This will allow you to teach your kiddo how that team works and useful tactics.

Been awhile since I locked in with a city builder the way I have with Laysara: Summit Kingdom this weekend. A nice combo of familiar elements and smart innovations, particularly in resource management and distribution.

Nice job, @quiteokgames.bsky.social! πŸ™Œ

Again, it is interesting that a single generation was entrusted with the richest, most advanced empire the world had ever known and was just uninterested in keeping it going

You absolutely *can.*

Right up until you can’t afford to defend yourself from the lawsuits you draw by operating in places where you strayed close enough to the line that a lawsuit was colorable.

Fair.

I don’t move in those circles often enough to claim much knowledge.

Yet.

Oh no. But it has helped them reach a semi-legitimate status.

There were fan troopers working the Phantom Menace charity pre-screenings back in 1999.
