Was browsing big cat games https://www.bigcatgames.biz/s/shop due to the uncertainty of getting items from JP due to covid and shipping restrictions. Wondering if anyone's played Mitsuhama, Pompiers, or Tokkome. I was already planning on getting Nokosu dice and Hyakke-Yagyo. Mitsuhama is especially intriguing to me since it seems like a compelling filler market game.

the tiny furniture was definitely the best part of Heroquest

(this says more about the rest of the game than it says about the tiny furniture)

I think that’s valid. The poker chips are functional and certainly better than chits but they could have included the upgrades as standard.

So racist tells me that if I as a person of color want representation then people of color should make their own games and leave white people games to white people. He didn't say exactly that but that's what he was really saying. Then he goes about telling me about small German board game companies.

Euro games are in his mind for people of European descent and if people of color want representation they should make their own games.

We've been fed a lot of white supremacy stuff regarding who was actually there in history and who we're told were there. If you even spend five minutes on Google you'll see a lot of actual facts regarding European history and people of color.

Man, I wish I could do that guilt free. I live just outside the delivery radius of five different pizza places and I refuse to use middleman delivery apps due to price hikes, wage theft, and wrong orders when I have food issues. Particularly when the source itself delivers.

Chip Theory also did the Hoplomachus games which also use poker chip stacks in a clever way. It's a neat concept and it works. Their games are spendy, though.

First off I’ve heard (only heard) that rum & bones version 2 is actually good.

Second, the TMB people also did make a moba game, Cloudspire.
