I managed to get over 150 miniatures painted this year! Star Wars Rebellion and Destinies are going to look amazing when I get them to the table again! My wife and I have played 60 games so far this year! We got 15 games off of our shelf of shame and looking forward to playing some more in the near future. 😊

Stick with it. 150 miniatures painted is definitely awesome. I always wanted to paint Rebellion, but Suzanne may not be so happy with me if I tell her that one can't be played until it's painted! LOL Keep playing games and having fun.

    We LOVED the Campaign. We didn't feel that the story being linear was limiting. We didn't go into it expecting it to be a strong, story campaign. We just found it fun to play Scythe differently while adding new components with a decent enough story on top of it. We never thought it was going to be the 'choose your own adventure' type campaign, at all. Using this expansion to teach a new-to-Scythe player probably isn't optimum.

    My likelihood of sleeving is a balance of shuffle frequency and game value. Even though Love Letter is constantly shuffled I won't sleeve it, because I can get a new copy for $10 whenever I want. Meanwhile I have sleeved my copy of Age of Renaissance even though you only shuffle the deck two or three times a game, because it's an out of print game from the 90s. Edit: Although if I played Love Letter every day I would sleeve it. So I guess frequency of play also enters into it.

      We didn't mention, or think about, buying a new copy of a game we own. Very good point!

    I only sleeve cards for games when I need to shuffle/draw cards a lot. Over a decade ago started to sleeve all board game for a couple years, but realized it was not needed and an extra cost that wasn't needed. I stopped and removed almost all the sleeves maybe 4 years after I started. It takes more space and costs money. IN the last 15 years of playing a ton of board game, someone spilled 1 drink near a card once. It helps if you game with people that understand basic common sense were they put their drinks to help reduce these type of possible moments. unsleeved

      Sleeving all of your games, especially with a big game collection can become expensive in a hurry! A little etiquette and understanding at the table can go a long ways!

    Very helpful info! I’ve only been a DM for about a year and wish I had my players make their characters at our session 0. I ran into the same issues where most of the party spent time creating their characters around their class - and 3/7 of the players were rogues hahaha. We’ve adapted as time goes on and it’s been a fun game, but I’ve learned a lot from my mistakes. Thanks for the video!

      I'll be doing more of these videos as time permits. Being a GM is hard and even being a forever DM for over 30 years I feel like I have learned a few things. There are so many resources out there to help these days it's truly amazing. Do you have any current challenges that you wish someone covered?

    I think you need to focus on the mansion of madness figures. Would love to play that again

    Played this yesterday... I really enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I had a really cool piece of factory equipment that let me only discard 1 card off the top. I coupled that with my Owner's special ability of getting stuff from the market at a discount. Ended up earning 2nd place in a 4 player game. Very enjoyable to make at least 1 drink a turn (although maybe not sell it due to aging). I kind of wish there was 1 more round. I'll also say that our game had the problem of the Africa stuff mixed in when there wasn't any recipes that used that stuff. Probably best to just re-draw the card when Africa stuff shows up in that scenario. At first, it seemed like a bridge too far to focus on personal goals and public goals... but near the end I wound up completing my personal goals and earning 1 public goal... so maybe it wasn't too much to think about. You could always leave those end game goals out for brand new players. Overall, I'd give this game an 8.5 out of 10. Larger text and region icons were the only other downsides.

      We do concur about the Africa goals potentially causing some concerns or challenges. There are so many options for ways to score points in this game that we haven't really found those end game scoring cards to be a major factor in the final outcome of the game.

    I’m sure this guy is a great DM and this content is great 👍🏻 But geeze, my DM is a high school teacher and wayyy less anal about rules at the table 😬 Guess hence the need for a session 0 but man, holy flash back to middle school

      My players generally think so. I've gamed with alot of groups and usually keep my games together for 2+ years. To do that, I tend to find establishing a good structure and expectations allows for everyone to focus on a good time. It also helps weed out problem players, which if you end up with a few ever in a group...well, it's then that you wish you had that foundation of expectations. Every table is different though! ~Conesy
