MFers out there making gorgeous games where the box has its own crank to retract the board and I get told that I can only have 8 cardboard tokens instead of 9 so work with it.
Actually got out of the house and played games last night. Got Take Time to the table for the first time, and really enjoyed it. Then a few plays of Hot Streak, which has such good production that I get jealous. Half the rulebook is not rules! I wish I could do that in my games!

Feeling conflicted about Survivor 50. Excited to see some of my fav contestants return but dreading the "Jimmy Fallon advantage" and "Mr. Beast auction".

Sean Stephens makes no sense. If you were rectangular, you could still fit in a square hole rotated at an angle.

Pretty sure I played this in a dream once, which is weird cause I had not yet heard of Uzumaki at the time.
In a now annual traditional I'm running another mass participation game throughout February starting NOW.

“Unbiased” board game reviews are the last ones to be trusted. Everyone has biases. Far more trustworthy are reviews that acknowledge their influence and bias. It indicates a level of awareness, honesty, and ability to contextualize that hints at more thoughtful and meaningful analysis and review.

The BGG Hall Of Fame displaying the commitment to quality it’s become known for:
1. The announcement gives a pronunciation for the common English word “imminently.”
2. The pronunciation guide is wrong.
3. The author meant “eminently.”
