There’s also the rule of “if you can do it, so can NPCs”. Even if your character has thought of something no one in the universe has thought of before, word will get around.

Roguelikes with the potential for broken builds.
Sometimes you find the perfect combo on your run and become an unstoppable force, but it doesn’t ruin the game because you finish your god-like run and next run you try to find another overpowered build.

when we would go to scan a product it just told us what spot it goes in

If the website could just tell me what aisle things are in then I wouldn’t care. (Some stores do this, not all.)

Cows are the most fit for their environment. Their environment being a useful and sustainable food source for humans to cultivate.

You just asked them a question…

I recommend checking out Arboretum: https://youtu.be/mmiXSOG1BtQ

It’s a small box game (just a deck of cards) so not too expensive, and it really hits that “If I discard this someone else is going to want it.”

You can’t exactly plan your Galaxy Trucker ship, it’s more “doing the best you can with what you’ve found.” For example: if you want to put a bunch of engines on your ship but don’t find very many, then there is nothing you can do about that.

Concordia. There are a lot of strategy implications in the game that we didn’t notice until a couple rounds in. There were a couple of times where I had the realization “Oh, that’s what I should have done 2 rounds ago!”

I love the ship customization in Eclipse, each type of ship (scout, fighter, cruiser) has a certain number of squares on your board that you can put any ship competent into. You can add more engines so it can move further in one action, or computers so you’re more likely to hit, or more guns so you roll more dice, or more shields so they are harder to destroy. You can find or research better components and all of your ships of the same class use the same blueprint.

I love how you can customize your units for how you want to play, but I’m not a fan of 4x games and wish there were other games with a similar mechanic.

Edge of Darkness is good, unfortunately they made a mess of the Kickstarter to the point that it’s not viable for it to get a retail release.

Deckbuilding + a board fits a sweet spot for me.

Tyrants of the Underdark is my favorite, it’s a familiar deck building formula but has a central board with area control zones for players to fight over.

I also enjoyed my play of Dune: Imperium, but it has a lot of other things going on as well. (Worker placement, area control, resource management, action cards)

This is a huge part of Arboretum (do I discard this card I know you want or am I safe to discard this other card I might need), and also big part of Fantasy Realms

Damn Leftists! They ruined the Left!

And we will counter Tarif, as we should, and both countries will be worse off!

Prices will go up, Trump will later pretend to be a hero by ending Obama’s Tariffs, prices will go down slightly (not nearly as much as they went up by), and the American Oligarchs profit from the inflation.

Trump said last week he would announce 25 per cent tariffs on Mexico and Canada on Feb. 1 unless the countries help tackle the twin issues of U.S. fentanyl trafficking and immigration.

My first reaction to this was “fix my problems for me or I’ll charge you” but then I noticed it said “immigration” not “illegal immigration”. Trump wants Canada and Mexico to prevent anyone in the world from moving to the US. This is the responsibility of other countries for some reason.
