Thanks for the tax advice ! ❤️

Imma check out the games you listed, they sound interesting!

Yeah, I have some games I’m picking up using the auction. Potentially math trade too ?

This year, my plan is to play more and shop less. I really regret purchases like precognition and don’t want to make such a mistake again. Also keen on working for some of the publishers as a volunteer “rules explainer”. Let’s see how that goes 😅

I am going for all 4 days. So, don’t have to worry about going through all the halls in a day.

Hmm, sounds good to me. I’m gonna focus on playing too. I am glad I was able to get Turing machine then but kind of have a fomo on such games this year. Hopefully I can see past that 🙈

I wanna try working at the stalls for some producers during Spielmesse (you explain games to visitors and it’s on fhift basis) but don’t know how that affects taxes etc because I’m already full time employed. Oh well, to be determined

The issue seems to be surviving rules explanation/reading. And is apparently an issue it with this game. Even Rodney’s video wasn’t a hit 😅

However, your other suggestions are great. I’ll try that. I can just set the table up instead of waiting for a full acknowledgement in the very beginning

I think the struggle to go through the rules and getting bored in the process. It’s funny to me because mage knight wasn’t as much of an issue but this somehow isn’t working out.

That’s fine by me. I’m just wondering if there are other games out there that might be more of a success. Aeons end is an option I’m thinking of

Ohhh I’m so jealous. Travelling all the way from Berlin here. At least, by now, I have a constant Airbnb place I book for Spielmesse

Spirit island - branch and claw. Played in 2p mode. No tips or strategies since it was our first game after buying it. Played with no scenarios either and with both the new spirits. It went surprisingly easy.

Thanks! ❤️

A woman. I’m interested too… It’s really tiring keeping track of it on an analog Calendar.

If you can’t find anything, I suggest you make her a barebones one or get her to use something like etar. It’s all local.

• terraforming mars
• mage knight
• nemesis

I am. Will check it on out, thanks !

Light: silver and gold

Medium: Dune Imperium

Heavy: mage knight

Favourite: Dune Imperium or mage knight

Most played: I have a rotation system that explicitly forces me into picking new games each week.

Very interesting. Haven’t played it or seen it in the shelves of other boardgame meetups or sellers. I’ll keep an eye out. Tbh, it’s the first worker placement game in 2p I’ve come across.

My favourite 2p so far has been Mr. Jack, radlands and mage wars

That’s an impressive list !

Personally, I haven’t noticed much because most of my “famous” games are secondhand, old prints. Like my Puerto Rico has brown workers. But, it’s great that they are changing bit by bit. Hobestly, I stopped playing Puerto Rico for it’s colonialist roots.

I’d be interested to know if Santa Maria had new edits. That game literally uses “Happiness Points” as victory points and sends conquistadors around to new lands. 😅

Or Istanbul. I’m waiting to see if there’ll be women featured in the markets. At the moment, it’s all dudes.
