@boardgamebbq Mosaic. Didn't get it played until this year, but it was worth the wait in terms of giving a good civ game experience in just a couple of hours.

@MoreGamesPls Just One. That is all.

@devirgames How about a game about Blue Ball Pennsylvania? We need more games about blue balls.

@mattthr I like games where negotiation arises naturally from the design, rather than being a formal mechanism. Paolo Mori's Dogs of War is a fantastic example - the shared rewards have players dealing and betraying without any actual negotiation mechanisms at all.

@TheBrokenMeeple I think the combination of the wonderful components with the simple points vs. engine building puzzle make this a polyomino classic. Much better than Silver and Gold.

@DecisionSpa @LogboatBrewing Proud to see you taking up the mantle of Punching Cardboard (they used to review a whiskey between game reviews).

[Tony Faber @TwoWood4aWheat]

Today all three of us review Resurgence, the new post apocalyptic bag building game from Stan Kordonskiy.

@NateSilver538 I suspect the D overperformance in swing states could be related to a better ground game where it mattered. As a related point, low quality candidates tend to have bad ground games.

@NoPunIncluded Now you're gonna make me post this.

@CardboardHerald El Grande is still better than 30 years of imitations.

@Wallyworld555 @MHunter9000 @BartHanson The law is that released felons can vote. But the state of Florida won't tell people if they still owe outstanding fines or tickets, and if you do and vote, they can then throw you in prison. The intention is to subvert the law, not uphold it.

Today we review more hotness!

@Boardgamesguy @eric_lang I almost responded with this one myself. I too have a pile of games to review, and I just don't have the play group to work through the campaign right now.

[Tony Faber @TwoWood4aWheat]

@eric_lang There's a lot of games which fit this description! Number one might be Frosthaven, because it hasn't arrived yet.

[Tony Faber @TwoWood4aWheat]

Here are some of my grail games. https://t.co/lD8LAircUy

@GailSimone Give me all the jazzy 60s themes: Pink Panther, Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, etc.
