This week’s newsletter! Philharmonix, the new Quartermaster General, and Band of Brothers: chrisfarrell317.substack.com/p/philharmon...

The world seems to be on fire 😢, so more Unstoppable. Roux Silver on Expert. Still can’t quite manage the Become Unstoppable achievement. Tiny the Octophant seems awesome and goes great in this deck but once the threat level hits 4 she becomes kind of pricey.

Mannerheim Cross, BFP-155 (Leningrad Reds). I’m never sure how much ASL content to put in the newsletter - it’s such a specific and small niche that I try to include it only when there is something interesting and more general to say? Anyway, this scenario is fine. BV Finns are *nasty*.

Gah, so close. Unstoppable, Zephyr vs Harbinger on Expert. Tough break on the last reshuffle, with two Acolytes in the threat zone and not cycling. I think Zephyr is a more challenging character to play. I was proud of that Double Tap card though. Tough to run out of time with it in hand.

Playing Unstoppable, Kai Silver vs Duomo’ Menace on Expert. Comfortable win. Almost hit the Become Unstoppable achievement, which I haven’t done yet. I had pretty good luck on the card drafts.

Iliad (Reiner Knizia/Bitewing) has definitely been growing on me as I’ve played it more.

Something for this Sunday’s newsletter … Columbia’s Alliance. Interesting game. It has me thinking about table-balancing and reading complex game state, things which came up in the context of Weimar and Arcs: The Blighted Reach.

New newsletter is up! I rediscover the simple joys of Total Domination and New Frontiers. Plus some other stuff.

Trying out some new stuff in Up Front.

Newsletter is up! Got to play some Argent: The Consortium this week!

Ah, Argent: The Consortium. Such a fun game.

Playing some Dead Reckoning with the Letters of Marque expansion. Can’t believe this is the first time I’m breaking it out! Miss this game, hopefully again soon.

New newsletter is up! I get my hands on an early copy of Fate of the Fellowship, plus Purple Haze, Pax Haspanica, and more. This one was very challenging to write so I hope you find it interesting. Don’t forget to like and subscribe 🙂.

New newsletter up! Weimar, Congress of Vienna, Fellowship of the Ring: The Trick-Taking Game, and more!
