Normally in Democracy the majority or popular vote wins, however due to the electoral college America has, it doesnt necessarily mean the majority voted for the winner. This was the case for Bush, and some other moments in the past.

In Dutch we have DROL, Dicht recht, open links. So close right, open left as a very strict translation. But DROL is also Dutch for turd.

Darknet diaries is one of my all time favorites.

If you like music analysis then Strong Songs is also interesting

And for a non serious listen I like to listen to Sherlock & Co, which is an amazing audioplay where Watson becomes a podcaster to deal with his PTSD. The adventures are self contained, so you can hop on any you like.

It is the Dutch railway company, so no, I wouldnt expect you to know this as a foreigner.

But I am a little sad now I am not part of the lucky ones...

I hate it when the "and this is where we end the session for tonight" part happens 10 minutes in... once had a high level party teleport to the complete opposite side of the map 10 minutes after starting... That is when I learned what high level really meant.

There is a comic that goes into this premise called: "Y the last man". It is an amazing read if you are into comics. It paints an interesting view of what would happen if all men suddenly all died except for one.

En mijn favo close up van Zinzi

Some that I havent heard but love are Pandemic and Spirit island.

And as a hidden gem: Heroes of Tenefyre and sprawlopolis. Heroes is a deckbuilder dungeon crawler where the new cards in your deck are the monsters you slay. Sprawlopolis is a city builder the size of a small wallet, which you can easily take with you. There are 3 challenges out if 18 which decide how the game will play, which asks for different tactics every time.

The crew! Both versions of it allow for replayability as you have different objectives every game. It is a trick taking game, so they might be a bit familiar with it due to other games like bridge. And it is cheap. Only thing that might take them a bit to get used to is that it is coop.

Another simple one would be take 6 (nimmt 6).

Yeah we have lanes normally. Still can be a bitch if you have to wiggle it free from 5 surrounding bikes. At stations or busy areas there are also racks to put your bikes in and on top off, so we can use double the space for bikes. I am from the Netherlands and have lived in student cities, and Amsterdam.

Dixit is also a good fit! It is a very easily explained game, where you have to say a word or short phrase describing a mystery card. The rest then places a card they think that matches the description as well, and then a voting round starts. It is really fun, and playing it would do more justice than this explanation :p

• Light: cartographers/aquamarine
• Medium: Isle of cats
• Heavy: Spirit Island
• Most played: Gloomhaven, I think we have close to 150 games played.
• Favorite: I think this is a tie between Gloomhaven and Spirit island. I like campaign games a lot, but spirit island is such a wonderful game. SI always manages to give you that "how are we gonna do this" feeling, and then you stabalize (most of the times). Every game is tense.

I recently started reading the whole series from the beginning, and I quite enjoy it, althoygh it is a bit slow. It is cool to see what the origins is for some of the most crucial villains in the series.

Oef, it is a tight race between Animal (as I am a drummer as well) and Cookiemonster (I had a shirt of him that was my favorite shirt ever). I think Cookie is the winner tho.

We had quite a busy week, so we only played two long Isofarian guard sessions and one Aeons End Legacy. Hopefully next week we will have some extra time

We have about 40 games under our belts, most acts with 2 people take about an hour. First time runs with new folks takes about 1,5 to 2 if they are really slow. Mostly the pace is picked up after the first act. Less new things to learn etc. I would expect it to get faster, but it i s still a 4 hour game if you play it in 1 seating.

We have received the Santorini jickstarter including Riddle of the Sphinx. Really nice coop puzzler that feels just the right amount of challenging.

We also have been playing quite a lot of Marvel Champions, as we recently added Storm and Iceman to our roster. Really like their niche abilities and interactions.

We spent most of our week discovering 2 kickstarters that just landed, The Witcher and Isoforian guard.

The Witcher is very easily becoming a slog when playing at higher levels. We played a 4 player game that lasted 3 to 4 hours. It is a lot of fun, but the sweetspot for the game feels around 1 or 2 players. Lastly we are thinking anout adding some extra homerules, as you can now win the game by only fighting lvl 1 monsters. This is also something I see a lot of on BGG forums.

The Isoforian guard is so much fun! Really like the bag drafting gameplay, and the story. The game is tougher than we thought. We wanted to continue with the story, but we got our asses kicked and learned that grinding might be needed to get some better equipment and abilities.

Glad to have you. I think more posts are always welcome, so dont apologize! Good luck with the moderation, and looking forward to see your stuff :)

I personally always like seeing others play, as I can learn quite a lot by seeing how they go about rythms. I shall try to think about posting here as well if I see something cool elsewhere.
