Took the shot, can't go about my life. Not sure if it's dumb people or bad government or both, but right now I'm facing 3 weeks of not being able to do any of the things I could do normally.

It's especially bad if you aren't able to binge-watch the entire season and you want to discuss/meme it up until episode x but every forum/subreddit is full of season-wide spoilers.

Re: COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak

I heard that some Dutch people are traveling to Austria and Germany to get their booster. Thinking about it tbh. Our government is speeding up the process so everyone 18+ should be able to get a booster within a month, but of course it's unlikely they will actually achieve that. The booster will be...

Re: Dope ass board games

I have a new take on board games. Board games have one purpose and one purpose only: They serve as gateway board games that you can use to convince yourself/friends/significant other/family to play gloomhaven with you. Once you have succeeded at that, you might as well sell your board games. Haha, ...

Re: Dope ass board games

Elements are a bit counter-intuitive. You always infuse them AT THE END of your turn, after everything else has been down. It is never possible to infuse and use an element in the same turn, even with something like a mana potion. And yes, that means at the end of the round they will be waning, whic...

Re: Dope ass board games

It will get easier over time. It also helps if you give players a specific tasks to focus on (keeping track of initiative, handling monster damage, etc). As a last resort you can use the Gloomhaven helper app which helps you track monster cards/hp and more, but that requires you to use a screen, whi...

Also still playing Gloomhaven.

I hope to receive Spirit Island this week, which I'm really excited for. I love puzzly games and coop, so this seems like the perfect game for me.

Re: Dope ass board games

My newest editions and currently most-played games are Galaxy Trucker, Hellapagos and Micro Macro. Galaxy Trucker is a hilarious party-like game about building a crappy spaceship and flying through space, watching your spaceship fall apart. Recommended for those looking for a fun ~45 min filler game...

Re: Dope ass board games

Theme is definitely important, and euro games lack them pretty much by definition, while ameritrash (that's actually the term, not arguing in bad faith here) is more thematic but less mechanical. I am interesting to hear what game you would buy instead, with such a short playing time for the amount ...

I read both of Peterson's 'rules of life' books and they were ok. I can't say they changed my life. I liked the stories about patients and their struggles and I liked the psychological background of some of the concepts he explained. I didn't like the religion and the whole 'women are chaos and evi...

Re: Dope ass board games

I've played Twilight Imperium 4th edition a few times and it's impossible to play in 1-2 hours. When playing with 5 players we take at least 6 hours (although every game is a bit shorter since knowning the rules and general strategy gets easier after a few games). You may want to take a look at Ecli...

I'm normally not really excited for euro-games until I play them because you normally only appreciate the mechanics once you are playing, but I got really excited by this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khluadSO_Ic Other than that, haven't played or bought it yet.
