Thanks for the tax advice ! ❤️

Imma check out the games you listed, they sound interesting!

Yeah, I have some games I'm picking up using the auction. Potentially math trade too ?

This year, my plan is to play more and shop less. I really regret purchases like precognition and don't want to make such a mistake again. Also keen on working for some of the publishers as a volunteer "rules explainer". Let's see how that goes 😅

I am going for all 4 days. So, don't have to worry about going through all the halls in a day.

Hmm, sounds good to me. I'm gonna focus on playing too. I am glad I was able to get Turing machine then but kind of have a fomo on such games this year. Hopefully I can see past that 🙈

I wanna try working at the stalls for some producers during Spielmesse (you explain games to visitors and it's on fhift basis) but don't know how that affects taxes etc because I'm already full time employed. Oh well, to be determined

The issue seems to be surviving rules explanation/reading. And is apparently an issue it with this game. Even Rodney's video wasn't a hit 😅

However, your other suggestions are great. I'll try that. I can just set the table up instead of waiting for a full acknowledgement in the very beginning

I think the struggle to go through the rules and getting bored in the process. It's funny to me because mage knight wasn't as much of an issue but this somehow isn't working out.

That's fine by me. I'm just wondering if there are other games out there that might be more of a success. Aeons end is an option I'm thinking of

Ohhh I'm so jealous. Travelling all the way from Berlin here. At least, by now, I have a constant Airbnb place I book for Spielmesse

 

So, have you all made a list of designers and stalls you wanna check out ? Any games that stood out to you ? Anyone volunteering or considering it ? Tips and tricks to share ?

 

I have a copy of mage wars arena that I love quite a bit. However I struggle to get it on the table. Because it's a 2p game, I have to rely on my partner being interested in playing it. Till now, I've had no success. Just to be clear, my partner is a boardgame nut.

Do you all experience the same ? If yes, how do you satiefy the mage wars arena itch ? Any other games that's similar in vibe but is easier to get on the table ?

Spirit island - branch and claw. Played in 2p mode. No tips or strategies since it was our first game after buying it. Played with no scenarios either and with both the new spirits. It went surprisingly easy.

Gangnam style ? Non, je ne regrette rein ?

A woman. I'm interested too... It's really tiring keeping track of it on an analog Calendar.

If you can't find anything, I suggest you make her a barebones one or get her to use something like etar. It's all local.
