I'd settle for 1 before and several times being valid descriptors. I don't care for the exact count if you tell me "I can't stop playing it"

This is why we had one guy in our old group that was all about reducing space. If you toss out the dividers, you can easily put TransAmerica into your copy of Ticket to Ride. He'd bring 6 boxes and 15 games.

As a retailer, I'll note that NPR Independent Radio is exclusively talking about big box stores. Honestly, trying to deal with all the independent FLGSs would be harder, it was just a something that hit me.

After listening to part 2 of the Planet Money #boardgame series, I raise an eyebrow as they hype up this being such an original game concept. Emphasizing that misleads the audience about how much the market values originality AND how original this game actually is. (It's an I-cut-you-choose game.)

I had a cortisone shot in my hand to heal my trigger finger. For me, it was no big deal.

I never thought much about Em dashes - until I realized that Microsoft Word was automatically changing my regular dashes to them without my knowledge.

If I could change the past, I would have really liked to see a full season 1 - then I could tell you if it was worth a season 2.

My dad used to mention a state official that cleaned his desk every night - by sweeping everything into a large desk drawer.

The description they use is "you and him fight until I can win". In my vocabulary that would be politics but not kingmaking.

I actually only use Kingmaking for situations when a person can't win, but can decide the winner.

John Rogers said that the crazification factor was around 27%, so 17% is well under that. The factor represents the amount of people that will vote because their party told them to regardless of how crazy it is.

Today @ultimateguard.bsky.social put out an anti-AI statement, but they are still quiet on Potter.

I haven't seen most of them. A friend of mine says Watch #1 for the setup, then jump to #4 where cars are used as superpowers.

Meanwhile, when people complained about Harry Potter deck boxes (and related), they removed it from their own website but distributors and retailers have never been told it isn't coming soon. Ultimate Guard has NOT released a statement about that.

7th Dimension Games @7thdimensiongames.com · Aug 21

A few weeks back people complained about Ultimate Guard used AI to extend some artwork. Today on Facebook they have said "Effective immediately, we will no longer use Generative Fill or any generative AI tools in our design process for Magic: The Gathering licensed products."

The stupidness of this situation is that books are books, but a "starter kit" that includes a book and dice is charged as a game.

Honestly, this is a case of me reading the book when I was too young. Looking back it is obvious that a fake messiah is bad, but as a young teen I just went with it.

Wouldn't the flavor be honey?

7th Dimension Games @7thdimensiongames.com · Aug 14

The alternate explanation is that distributors are not up to date. However, given that I can't find an official statement, I can't tell which one is true.

Odd. All of my distributors are still taking preorders for Ultimate Guard Potter stuff, but I can no longer find it on the Ultimate Guard website. In either case, I hear that Gamegenic makes some nice deckboxes.

This is such a supreme disappointment.

Ultimate Guard, known for their popular game sleeves and deck boxes, are making a new line of Harry Potter themed products.

Only through collective, direct action can we start to see change.

Let them know of your discontent:
