I did and I’m quite excited about it. I’ve played 5 or so runs in Tabletop Simulator with some friends and had a blast. It translates fairly well to the physical format. Plays differently than the video game but captures the same feel.

I don’t think it was intentional to undercut Piastri. I think they boxed to cover off Hamilton and then Lando put up a ridiculous out lap.

If you enjoyed the Martian, I highly recommend his newest book Project Hail Mary.

As many have said Viticulture is a staple of worker placement games. If you want something with a mix of mechanics with some worker placement, I’d recommend Everdell.

I just can’t get over Perez missing Q3 again. To make that many track limit mistakes shows his head clearly isn’t in it.

I love Spirit Island. Wide variety of options gives it near endless replay ability. The ability to widely adjust the difficulty also makes it great with a good variety of players. You can make it extremely hard for experienced players looking for a challenge or just as easily make it more casual for new players.

Second this one. I’m a fan of the video game so admittedly a bit biased, but I really enjoy the board game. Rules are a bit intricate being a dungeon crawler-ish game, but on the lighter side for that genre.

Little Bobby Tables is all grown up.

Historical Legacy is a good way to put it. For Pokemon in particular, RBY was the franchise for a lot of people, myself included. I’ve played a few of the others, but RBY is what came out when I was a kid and will always be the one I remember.

Your 4th point really hits on the main problem with all lists like this and that is that what is “best” is different for everyone. I agree with you that this puts too much weight on storytelling, but I know for some people story is by far the most important part of any game. For me, I rarely care about the story at all, I just want interesting mechanics.

Thanks for the great reviews! You definitely got me interested in a few I probably would have looked past previously.

They aren’t even comparing to Max though. The only Red Bull mention in the article is saying they were fast enough to keep Checo behind over the duration of the race.

It has been a pretty great turnaround, but they still have a lot of work to go. I think their car is still slightly behind Aston on general race pace, but they are mostly ahead of Ferrari and competitive with Alonso.

With inflation causing rents to go through the roof, houses being bought to be rented is just going to increase even more. I’ve had several houses in my neighborhood sold in the last few months be bought and immediately have “Available for Lease” signs put out.

We need to have something done to de-incentivize the idea of real estate as an investment and treat it like the necessity it is.

Unfortunately well deserved. Ferrari’s race engineers really have screwed up badly the last few races.
