I'll take 7 Wonders Duel.



Elite 2-player version of an outstanding multiplayer game. Randomness in available wonders, tokens, and card layout ensures that each game is different.

Can add more variety with either (or both!) of the great expansions.

I'll grab the Almost Famous soundtrack. A must-have for any fan of classic rock, and a damn fine movie to boot!

For my board game, I'm picking Wingspan.

I'm not gonna lie, this game just popped onto my radar this morning, courtesy of a friend's Facebook page. This article clinched it for me.

Wingspan is another great game that is better with 3-4 players.

I'm a wingspan hater. In the minority, though.

Yeah, but you also hate music. As well as puppies and ice cream, I'd imagine.

Lol. I like board games, though. Music is just massively overrated. Maybe I need to post an unpopular opinion.

i was wondering why people liked music so much. and it seems like women like it more than men.

but im guessing it has something to do with our ancestors playing music in communities. and since being part of a community was so important to our survival, that people who liked it had an edge, in terms of evolution.

Full writeup later as on my phone.

Worst place to take a dump - the single, unisex toilet with no window right next to your boss' office on a hospital ward.

This one might be from experience...

And what's the deal with people waiting outside to use it when you're in there?

Jeez, just come back in a few minutes.

For best magic performance of all time I'll take game 6 of the 1980 finals. Some games may technically be better but this is the one that started it all.

I'm going to go for a two player board game of Jaipur




A very fun commerce game that mixes strategy and luck

I think it's more simple than that. People enjoy treating their senses to pleasant/enjoyable things.

We like food that tastes good. We like the feeling of warm & soft things. We like looking at a beautiful sunset. And we like music.

For games it might not be the most exclusive or the best, but I've played it and I'd rather pick something I've got experience with than just look up a list and pick the top one. Then again it might be an awesome pick. Time will tell.

Agricola

I'll post a link and a picture later. Just want to keep things moving for now.

Add Agricola to the Wingspan and Terraforming Mars list of "better with 3-4".

So, yeah.

The worst place to take a ****. The single, unisex toilet that has no window, is right next door to the boss' office, on a hospital ward, so you know it has no lid either.

Everyone can hear you when you're straining, ESPECIALLY the boss. Everyone knows where you are. The smell lingers when it's been used because there's no ventilation and no chance in hell that door is being left open. It's on a ward, so god knows what sort of diseases are lingering in there, especially when there's a norovirus outbreak in the place, and when you flush there's no lid to catch the particles for "infection control". Infection control my ass (and yes, I have had this argument personally with infection control nurses in hospitals and hospices).

Ugh. No. Just no. I'd rather **** my pants.
