Fondue

Just cracked open a bottle of this... It's very drinkable indeed!

I love Crypt, but am terrible at playing it unless I play as the Bard - sure, it kind of goes against he spirit of the game, but means I can then treat the game more as standard Roguelike. I've definitely got to zone 3 a bunch, and I think zone 4 a couple of times. Doubt I'd make it out of the first zone if I had to hit the beats though!

That's a long title.

Handmade, artsinal consoles are the future

And don't accidentally pimp it out... Ahem ... https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/674103820/wingspan-40x-deluxe-player-tokens

Holy crap - really? Edit: I've just dug mine out! You mean this is actually worth proper £?? I wonder if there's anything else tucked away that's worth anything! Is there a useful resource / list of bits and games with a rough price list anywhere? Oh, I wonder if the broadband adaptor is valuable. To ebay!

My reaction too

I'm sat on a ferry crossing the Channel, not due in for at least another hour or two and I'm meant to be meeting people in the morning at the Expo.... This feels a bit otherworldly! Sleep? Pah!

Hmmm. It sounds like it suffers from Kickstarteritis. (often best treated with a large dose of honest play testing)

Si, you should know I've been doing my research... https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/272427/terramara - Terramara, which is top of my list as it's a worker placement made (in part) by some of the folk behind Lorenzo, Coimbra, etc. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/177096/freedom Freedom! A seige game designed by the chap behind Fields of Green, randomly. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/243993/la-stanza La Stanza - actiony selectiony by the team who usually make What's Your Game games, but this is being published by Quined. Pete backed it on Kickstarter though, so we'll get to play it at some point. https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/256636/item/6930637#item6930637 - COIN Tribes. May remain PnP, but it's basically a COIN game boiled down to 9 cards and some dice... (I'm tempted to grab a copy of this anyway!)

Part of me wouldn't be surprised if they remove the touch part of the screen - it's purely optional for the handheld factor and obviously is redundant when docked anyway.

I bought it a couple of days ago, and this description is absolutely spot on. V. enjoyable.

Heist is fantastic - it's only too short as I wanted to keep on playing! Really looking forward to SQ; only a couple of days to go! And Picross S3 is out on the same day, so Nintendo will do well out of me this week.

I'm vainly hoping either for a Switch version of BL3, or at least not have too high specs for my aging PC... Sigh. Maybe I need to upgrade / buy a modern console at some point. In the interim, I've played an awful lot of BL1 & 2 (and completed the underrated Tales...), and have a copy of the Pre-Sequel I've not yet cracked open - is it worth my time?

Cheers folks - will pass that on.
