If anyone is interested, Joaquin interviewed me for The Meeple Podcast earlier in the week and has just uploaded it: https://elcarterodecarcassonne.com/podcast/18-chris-wallace-wallaceprime-the-interview/

A good travel game for the driver of a car: chicken. If I don't post again, you know I lost my last game...

More seriously, I would choose Balderdash. I love the challenge of creating a definition of a word that is so outrageous that the other players think "that can't be the correct definition", but make it just believable enough to tempt them to pick it.

Lucky we didn't say anything about the dirty knife... (sorry, obscure reference to Monty Python)

Ha ha ha! This sounds totally evil! Like it... 

The white fairy lightly but penetratingly says, "Ping!"; I think the black fairy would have to shout with a manic and gravelly voice, "PING!"

Yesterday my son and I finished printing and sticking a whole bunch of forest and additional ocean tiles.
Today, we had our biggest game: we started with 497 tiles and it took 3 hours 15 minutes.
I think we could add another 100 to 150 tiles if we added the last felt-covered segment to our table.
What do the rest of you play your really big games on?

Does it count as psychological abuse if, every time I score a point from the fairy at the start of a turn, I irritatingly exclaim, "Ping!"?
It makes my son wince every time I do it, if only because it reminds him he forgot to take control of the fairy on his previous turn, but I guess that's just one of the unspoken benefits of parenthood.

Looks like fun was had by all, and it was nice to see Cubassonne being played - with only 3 sets made so far, it doesn't get many opportunities. Great photos - thanks for sharing

My OCD is disturbed by the fact that I can't add Owns to Die Belagerer in my Forum Profile.
I got Die Belagerer today, but it is not yet added to the expansionslist.

My OCD is disturbed by the fact that the 'O', 'C' and 'D' aren't in alphabetical order...
