You caved in and picked up Star Realms

Yeah, as you know I play the app loads. However every time I look at buying it, it's out of stock! I ended up with Colony Wars few months ago instead. Having backed their Kickstarter, figured I had to buy all the physical editions to compliment it should they finally finish play testing all the stretch goals and actually manage to get it printed!

No one likes "my" king meeple ?

I'm most impressed.

I must admit i was impressed by how rapidly it arrived. It was announced 1 to 2 months for the slowest shipment, and arrived in 9 days via UPS.

I'm pretty sure there's many alternative out there on 3D printing, but for a first experience, it was nice.

Shapeways is still prohibitively expensive for me in the UK

Received the Tower expansion yesterday, big thanks to Rosco.

Also I would like to thank Halfling for sending me Hills and Sheep a couple of weeks ago (forgot to take a picture though)

A small game and an expansion today.

First off we are big fans of Dixit and wanted a change up. Looks like Muse will be fun to try out with our girls. Anyone played it?

The Muse cards can also be used in Dixit which is a nice plus. The box has a nice gold highlight that you can better see in this second photo. I also received an unexpected gold foil promo card, which is always nice.

Still not a big fan of the modular function of Cacao but my wife and I enjoy the occasional play.

This is a partial and edited description from BGG,

Cacao: Diamante contains four expansion modules for play with the Cacao base game or it's first expansion:

The gem mines, this one looks fun and 'easy' to incorporate. You basically remove the Temple tiles with the Gem mines. You set collect these gems to give you point markers.

The tree of life, this one looks a little meh for me. Remove some Gold tiles and you can score without a meeple facing this tile.

The Emperor's favor, a very easy one to incorporate - add the special oversized Gold Meeple onto on of the start tiles. If you place a tile in a row or column where he sits you move the Gold Meeple to your tile and collect one gold. If he continues to stay on your tile you could get one extra gold per turn

The new workers, super player tiles that all equal 4 meeples, including one tile that has 4 meeples facing in one direction. Again, looks like this one might be a little fiddly (removing other player tiles) but might be worth a go.

"All modules can be played individually or combined with others, whether from this expansion or the Cacao: Chocolatl expansion. With the "Big Game" variant, you can even play with all modules of both expansions and the base game."

Unfortunately it looks like the big game variant is for 3 or 4 players!

I didn't know I was bringing new art to you. If I did I might not have done it!

Got a big envelop over today from the Ukraine!
It contained 2 self-assembly Carcassonne products:

I bought these from Tower Rex on Etsy, and can highly recommend them!
They've got a divider for in a standard Carcassonne box, that fits (almost) all large expansions (the Catapult doesn't get a spot)
And a Travel box that fits the base game + the river and meeples.

It is very similar to other dividers, like the Broken Token one, but easier in assembly i think, as it does not require any glue and is very well made.
They've made little cuts in the connections, to make sure its extra strong!

The divider has the expansion logo's engraved in to it, and fits all the tiles for these (just!) It is a very tight fit!

and then in a box with all tiles:

And the travel box is very cool!
The top slides out, and is easy to open.
And it comes with scoring tiles, so a big scoring track is not required

I'm happy with them, and would recommend them to others as well

Glad to see your packages arrived Chooselife, we were worried jungleboy would be stopped at customs!

Willem thanks for sharing this little find. I love the expansion dividers in the box. I especially like the travel box too. I Have been looking for something like this for a while. Will have to check then out.
