Thanks a lot for those examples! Totally forgot about those "extra turn" effects. That'll be fun.

I had already considered a bunch of concepts about how a phase can end but not that it might be completely independent from any player action.

The Gloomhaven scenario probably is the easiest of these since it is merely a variant of the general "player actions result in change of player order" case

Great example! Thank you!

Your description sounds so nice and fair - allowing everyone to take full control of their wealth.

So let me ask you: when was the last time you successfully negotiated the price of your groceries or utilities?

You don't. Because that "fairness" only exists between entities of equal power.

Nah. When you look at the groups that employ body/dash cams (Police, Russian drivers, ...) what they have in common is that they are involved in activities that have a high likelyhood to get you involved in altercations and it can be really important to have the incident on camera from the first second on. This simply doesn't hold true for most people - not to a degree that warrants attaching a permanent surveillance device to your body when you already have an easily accessible on demand camera with you.

Capitalism is an amazing engine to produce wealth. But it's also extremely opposed to the idea of distributing it.

Technically no. A slice needs to have been - well - sliced at least once. There is however no clear requirement how large the remaining slice needs to be...

There's a portal 2 board game?

Sehr gut dekonstruiert!

Das hier. Langes Haar bekommt weniger Sonnenbrand als ein 3mm Schnitt. Wieso sollte beim Rasen etwas anderes gelten...

Wow. I didn't know it was this easy to get an article made about you. A card and nine paperclips!

I definitely gonna have to post my spell book when I get home...

Spellbook Pictures

First iteration I simply took some small post-it's wrote the spell slot level on it and attached them to whatever spell I used them on. This worked fine for a bunch of sessions. If the glue would lose its tack I could simply write another sticky.

Second iteration I made myself a fancy A5 sized spell book in NanDeck, slots were still tracked by post its but I fashioned little bookmark tabs that were affixed to the pages so I could pull them out to indicate the spell was prepared and push it in to for those that were not. This again worked pretty well. The tabs would get partially pushed in when the book rattled around in the storage box but it was generally not all the way. Biggest gripe was that I didn't actually need to know which spell had which slots used on it. The post it's were overkill in that regard.

Current iteration now has a front page with paper sliders for the number of spell slots I have. It's prepared all the way to max level. All I've got to do is use scissors or an exacto knife to extend the sliders to their proper length. The preparedness of spells is also indicated by paper sliders on the respective page. I originally used bookmarks so I didn't have to browse the whole book but I found myself doing that anyway so they didn't serve much of a purpose. On the contrary I find it quite thematic that my cleric would rummage through his spell book to find the correct incantation for the situation.

Both second and first version had their spine punched in regular spaces with an office hole puncher and then bound with string in my player color. When I get more spells I simply have to print the additional pages and can rebind the book.

Spirit Island is probably our biggest mainstay at the moment. One of our group has most of the content and I'm still only about halfway through playing every spirit we have. The replayability is just amazing and the pacing is beautiful, hitting you hard in the early game and then slowly you turn the tide. Not to mention some of the spirits are just so doggamn satisfying to play.

We're also pretty big into Aeon's End. I completely hated this game in the beginning because I couldn't see how you could possibly win. Once it clicked and we began to get better, it became a lot more satisfying to play.

We also played through and enjoyed all Legends of Andor, all Pandemic Legacy, Mechs vs Minions and Gloomhaven.
