This is awesome! I’ve never heard of this before!

Woah woah woah there buddy. I’ve only placed the requisite amount of peer pressure required to ensure long lasting managed democracy throughout the galaxy.

In his defense he put in hella hours to get it where it is. I agree he should give more feedback though. He was MIA when someone pinged him in the discord about the breaking changes of 19 and he chimed in and updated it. I was active in the discord and was in the closed beta. He did a LOT of work around the clock. Here’s to hoping he comes back with more frequent (even if minor) updates.

Now all we need is Zelda to be a playable character. Nintendo! Give us Legend of Link!

No mechanics released yet, just the name and box art. More details February and launch in March. 3-5 players.

Limit it to corporations of a certain size then. It’s not people like your friend that are doing the bulk of the damage. It’s large corporations buying up entire neighborhoods to rent them forever.

@[email protected] I’m officially endorsing this one and pinning it.

That’s great! Mine hasn’t come in yet though :(

I thought about grabbing a couple for friends too but figured I would wait to play it first. So glad you’re having fun!

Edit: I just checked my order status and it’s “in warehouse” so hopefully I’ll get it soon

Sorry, the best they can do is a New Super Switch U Nano 2/3DS

Switch 2 is a clear sign to consumers that it’s not a Switch, which is the issue they had with the WiiU. I think Nintendo will be too scared to risk a repeat of that honestly. I could see a Nano getting a name like Switch Pocket or something similar. But Switch Next is a bigger risk

I can see them diverging again with a beefy next get one (aka switch 2), but then also introducing a nano switch. The only issue I think is if they are both introduced at the same time and only the switch 2 can play switch 2 games (and is backwards compatible) and the nano could only play switch 1 games, then consumers will be confused.

I was planning to play it with my family over the holiday but unfortunately I’m sick and have to lock down. I’ll probably get a chance over Christmas unless I can convince my wife to play it with me just the two of us. I was hoping to have my first time be with a full group.

I didn’t back the kickstarter as I’ve been burned with Kickstarter before (anyone remember the coolest cooler?). I just happened to find out about it right before launch and bought it.

I think some board game channels like No Rolls Barred and others will probably post gameplay soon.

Totally understandable! There’s always TTS too to try it out. I’m sure it’ll be added if it hasn’t already.

I didn’t take it as raining on my parade, so you’re all good there buddy.

And as for the topic of board gaming being sustainable or unsustainable in and of themselves, the creator actually touches on this in his backerkit page. I think it’s an interesting thing to talk about.

There are no plastics in the game and they are doing their best to lessen or reduce the climate impact of making and distributing the game. Might be worth a look if you are interested to see their approach.

In terms of the game, each player represents a world power, but there are no specific countries in the game. It’s not played on a world map.

Thanks for your perspective! I totally get it. I imagine at the end of the game you all go “we solved climate change! Hurray!”, and then get back to reality where, “well no we are still living in hell” lol.

In the end though, I hope that the overall message is “we can do this if we do it together”, and my generation and the next have to be the ones to solve it.

Yeah, that’s true, but I feel the message will be more hopeful for some reason. One is simulating the situation we are in and how we get out (climate change), the other is simulating going back into another pandemic after already having gone through a real one. It’s a subtle difference.

I think we are all interested in solving climate change, but personally feel inept as the problems are bigger than an individual can manage. Like, my personal recycling is not going to save the planet. It’s going to take large geopolitical and technological changes. A game where I can simulate being in the position to make those large impactful changes sounds really cool and empowering, and hopeful. And the cooperative aspect of it brings in the community aspect of us all working together to solve a global problem.

I also think this can be a really great way to simplify the complexity of the issue to kids in a fun way, while giving them ideas on how it can be solved, and ultimately teach them that this issue is solvable…because it must be solved.

I was thinking about this the other day. It would be really interesting if in this board game one player played as the “villain”. Someone who is trying to expand the use of cars and fossil fuels and unsustainable practices while the other players are joined against them. I think this would be a really cool expansion

Fair enough, but it is a decent video guide. I had trouble finding another one that went into as much detail and was step by step

Linus has a full walkthrough video on how to set this up. I followed it and it appears to be working. I run it on my always on PC and set my address as the home for Netflix. Others have android TVs and have been using the app to check in and continue watching “while traveling”. No issues so far. If they stay connected the bandwidth will go through your network, so keep that in mind
