Nice one! I've still missed out on the Pandemic Legacy series so far as I doubt I can get the same group of people to play this 12+ times in a relatively reasonable time frame.

Enjoy!

Oh wow! Didn't that make it difficult to keep up with the story line?

Not at all. The story line is written on cards and you can always go back and re-read them. The hardest part is remembering all of the rules and actions. They give you stickers when there is a new rule. When there is a long break in between games, it is best to go back through the rule book again.

Also I highly recommend the FAQ below. They have each month blocked, so you will only see the text if you click on them. When playing March for example, it may be a good idea to read the blurb from January thru March.

Thank you for these tips! This grows my interest in this game again!

(My poor wallet though...)

My Christmas order came in yesterday. Looking forward to Ethnos for me and Azul for my wife. Also got Cities of Splendor, Disney Codenames, and Qwixx for the family. Kingdomino for my mom and Cash N Guns for my sisters family of teenagers. Should be good times!

Some quality games in your list! Looks like you're going to be having a wonderful Christmas! Let us know what you think of Azul when you've had chance to play it. It looks like a great abstract tile laying game!

I'd like to thank the postman, DanWasThirty, my agent, my acting coach, and of course my wife and kids who stood by me back when I was only playing Carcassonne in crappy local TV commercials.

FYI, Dan, of course I will be blaming my weight problem on your Jelly Babies.

Decar · « **Reply #2139 on:** December 03, 2017, 02:33:54 AM »

They'd have to be concrete babies to make any significant difference to your weight

Hmmm... Since last week whenever I try to attach a photo in a reply it seems to fail. Anybody else seeing this?

Willem · « **Reply #2141 on:** December 04, 2017, 08:03:34 AM »

Only if the file is too big. I always have to resize my photos to get them attached

oosie · « **Reply #2142 on:** December 04, 2017, 08:05:30 AM »

Thank you for your quick response, Willem. The file is 818 KB. I thought the maximum was 1024 KB per file.

Last week I received these from the postman. After seeing the Murder on the Orient Express movie earlier this month with my oldest, she got quite excited to try out Mystery Express.
