Google needs to chill out with the AI stuff. Literally 4 separate indicators on the same screen. And then further down there's another "summarized by Gemini" for the reviews.
And I've already got every AI setting I could find turned off.

"Comic Hunters" has cards with real Marvel comic covers and various symbols indicating characters, first appearances, #1 issues, etc. (for set collection) - and value.
Each round a different acquisition method (draft, auction, etc) then spend comics to play others.
Felt sort of like Modern Art?

"Lords of Vegas" has some of the feel of Acquire - but with more push-and-pull using targeted aggression, and dice.

"Eternal Decks" is a co-op with a very lightly applied theme but an interesting aesthetic.
Play cards to accomplish goals (including adding cards to your deck). Someone can't make a legal play or ran out of cards = game over. You can communicate where you can play, but not what's in your hand.

"Hot Streak". Bet on racers, which move based on a shared deck that everyone adds cards to.
The minis are very nice, which adds to the spectacle.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

I could definitely see Vinci/Small World evolving from this. Each round you draft a new civ and an ability (or smaller additional civ), use them to cut a swathe through existing ones, then score points. You need to be ok with the impermanence of your actions.

Interesting thread and linked article.
Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.
