The United States distributor for Splotter Spellen's Indonesia has dropped the game amid uncertainty over Trump's tariffs.
I am so very tired of "winning" already.

Simple but intense 2 player card battler. I much prefer games like this to CCGs. One deck gives you tons of variability without becoming a lifestyle game and a massive drain of cash.
The game need a specific card layout on the table, so my friend has upgraded to neoprene mats with a layout printed, which is a big upgrade.
Ugh. Again with the nazis.

Hello miniature painters of the world.
I'm looking for beginner guides that aren't videos. I know there's plenty of videos, but I follow written instructions much better. Unfortunately, most popular SEO optimised beginner tutorials are not great for a variety of reasons.
So, do you know of a smaller hobbyist blog or site that gives good advice and/or tutorials for newcomers? I'd love to read them if so!
Thanks ahead of time for any recommendations.
Caverna: Höhle gegen Höhle BB (2021)

Zuvor hatte ich nur 1x die Solo-Variante ausprobiert, aber zu zweit ist es deutlich besser. Die lange Spielzeit ist dem Erstspiel geschuldet, das geht vermutlich auch in 1 Stunde.
Die Regeln sind übersichtlich und die Symbolik nach kurzer Zeit im Wesentlichen klar. Der Mechanismus der Aktionsauswahl gefällt mir ganz gut, wie auch die verschiedenen Strategiemöglichkeiten.
Ein solides Spiel für 2 Spielende.
Argh, the teen destroyed us in #ArkNova. He somehow managed to play a lion near the start of the game? Then he scored some super high scoring animals at the end. On the plus side, I was in the positive and only 9 points behind at the end. @timcoffman was in the negative and 52 points from the lead. #BoardGames
And now, I'm playing Nucleum at the house of a fellow #MontrealGamesMeetup organiser.

What's Tak, you ask? Great question! It's a two player abstract boardgame that's "simple in its rules, complex in its strategy". It plays like an ancient game, but it is actually rather new.
You see, Patrick Rothfuss first mentioned Tak in the pages of his fantasy novel, The Wise Man's Fear. People wanted to play the game in real life and so a collaboration was hatched between Rothfuss and celebrated game designer, James Ernest. There was a wildly successful Kickstarter, and people have been playing Tak ever since.
You don't need to have read the books to enjoy Tak. It's just a great game!
People play both competitively and for fun. You can usually find us at GenCon and Pax Unplugged. There is a Portable Tak Notation system for analyzing games. There are more than a few bots to play against. In short, there is a small but robust ecosystem to extend your enjoyment of the game! 2/

In game 7 of Lands of Galzyr we started to see a lot of repeat quests. A good chunk of the quests have "chains" and if you fail out of them the starting quest gets put back into rotation, so we're starting to see old plot lines re-emerge.
I'm still going to play this through a full in-game year but this was the first game where it started to feel monotonous. There is an expansion being made that will add more quests and content, but it doesn't come out for a few months.
