I'm looking forward to being able to actually work on projects again.
Went to the doctor last week about my lingering COVID problems, and was told to "expect that this is your new baseline, and you'll have to build back up from here".
So, I have to dig myself back out of a hole just to be able to do things I was doing on a daily basis not six months ago, much less anything more strenuous.
Every plan I had is shot all to hell.
@mxtiffanyleigh And Transmetropolitan predicted T***p with The Beast back in '97. Don't think they expected him quite so soon, though.
Now we just have to guard against The Smiler.
Hiding self-promo behind a content warning contributes to its stigmatization. Stop doing it.
You should be proud of your work, and there's nothing wrong with promoting things you're proud of.
If someone bitches about it, that's on THEM, not you.
All that said, though, this is a phenomenal version with generally better, clearer, prettier components than the original, and I think it's absolutely worth the upgrade, ESPECIALLY if you don't yet own the expansions, which I consider essential.
I can't wait to get this one to the table!
All of the components included here will easily fit into the original game's box size.
And this insert commits MULTIPLE cardinal sins:
Cardinal Sin No. 1: Look how much empty space there is under this insert. Somehwere between 1/3 and 1/2 of this box is AIR!
Cardinal Sin No. 2: Every Single. Component. must be separated out by expansion and carefully stacked into perfect-sized slots. Board Game Manufacturers: STOP F***ING DOING THIS. It doesn't appreciably help setup, and WILDLY slows down teardown. It is not a feature, it's a bug.
Cardinal Sin No. 3: Sleeved. Cards. Don't. Fit.
They ALMOST got this right. The well where the cards sit is *wide* enough for sleeves, but like many manufacturers they failed to make it DEEP enough for the whole stack. Which is especially bad because there's plenty of air underneath this card well.
Here's where I get to the negative, and it's the same negative I have with every single "Big Box" edition: the big f***ing box.
This box is a massive waste and completely unnecessary.
When it comes to a lot of the printed components, some of the artistic & design choices will be purely a matter of taste. For the most part, I really like the clean lines of the new art.
With the exception of the cow. The new cow just looks dumb. 😂
