Worst websites I visit:
Xfinity - For an internet provider, their web page is horrible. Slow, nearly impossible to manage my account online. I suspect they're doing so to push people to download their mobile app. It is better, but I don't want it on my phone.
Legacy Games - I visit rarely and only because I got free games, but same-site links open in new tabs/windows for no discernible reason, slow, and I get caught in loops where I can't get to any other page.

Undaunted Stalingrad
Played Missions 5 & 6 last weekend. Lost one, won one, bringing the campaign total to 3v3. It really is setup well for tense back and forth.
It’s a resetable legacy campaign, cards being replaced and put aside instead of stickers. So it’s one of my favorite Legacy games and my favorite Undaunted game.
Only get to play with my friend every couple months, so it’s been a slow burn.

Wir haben uns jetzt dazu entschlossen doch nur zu zweit im Wilden Westen Schienen zu verlegen und uns die Nerverei eine größere Gruppe 12 mal an zusammen bringen zu ersparen.
Macht wirklich Laune, die ersten vier Partien haben wir direkt hintereinander weggebinged.

I’m not a fan.
I should probably start with a definition, and Board Game Geek’s definition is as good as any:
A legacy game is a game that gets permanently altered after playing it. This to reflect a campaign. New content may be kept in the box to be used after certain conditions. Old content may get destroyed. Existing components, such as a game board or rulebook may get altered with stickers, a pen or by other means.
The crucial point here is that the game is played as a single campaign — a finite number of linked games, played with the same group of people — and the way the game is played changes over the course of the campaign. This means that every game is unique, and (ideally) the gameplay will evolve to reflect the style of the players involved.
However, it also means that there is no going back and there is no replayability. Once the campaign is started, the game starts changing and there is no way of restarting the campaign.
This is especially an issue for me because when I get a new board game, I tend to jump in immediately with the recognition that I may not fully understand the rules until we’ve played the game a few times. This is not a problem with a more traditional type of game but with a legacy game, if we didn’t fully understand the rules the first couple times, the gameplay is affected for the rest of the campaign.
The other problems with legacy games are cost and convenience. These things are not cheap and the fact that you you can play only one campaign means that, if the campaign turns out to be quite short, it can be a lot of money for very little. And the fact that they are played as a campaign means that you need to be able to bring together the same group of people on a reasonably regular basis in order to complete it.
Legacy games are not all bad and they can provide a much deeper experience than that provided by more traditional board games. But I don’t think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
