I use a modern video game method of teaching games myself. Give a quick overview, tell everyone what they'll need to know for the first few turns, and introduce something new each turn or when its important for them to know when making a decision.
But it all depends on the person.

My assumption is people wanting another Wingspan expansion? Regardless "competence equals deviance" as the saying goes, if a game is good people will forget. Oddly enough Carcassonne has slowed down drastically compared to other games pushing out annual releases.

Hopefully your flip spin was a first take as usual! I'm getting Hat in Time flashbacks with Nyakuza! (oh and the US release date is January 10th)

Here are GoW miniatures: boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/42...
Despite being great, the game didn't reach Evergreen status, and its likely a GoW tabletop miniatures game will likely underperform as well unless it goes viral or someone is willing to risk the advertising for it.

for new neat news with the Witcher is the Gwent card game is finally getting a physical copy. (in the US at least). My list would be similar except replacing Supermassive with Supergiant Games :)

Will be neat to see what world champions feel is the most dominant victory condition like 7 Wonders Duel. And another 2 Player LOTR Trick Taking game is releasing next week too!

I love they chose a flying fish for consistency

Tidbit of the day: Jeremy Soule (Elder Scrolls/Skyrim) worked on Secret of Evermore.

Dune. It would be Dune. Except for the select few who could simulate an entire game in their head.

Meanwhile UFO 50 slaps a $25 price tag on 50 games, and a 20+ hour RPG alone as one of them.

But it would be neat to see Nintendo set their redone games at a $40 price like Metroid Prime.

So far

There's always someone who will spam that specific Book 1 Blue Chip :)

Fun until you are trying to Gold every Joker. Thankfully an update forces a Joker you haven't Gold'd yet to appear each Gold run. :)

I wonder if Frostpunk gets played more when it snows 🤔

Glad to see Sail is doing so well, it deserves it!
