A definite answer on later availability of translation packs would actually make some even consider jumping in now (me, for example).

/u/bboomslang on Gideon is the only one of the Gatewatch that can crew vehicles.
Bolas just removes the car completely from existence, because he can’t drive it. Or waits for you to crew it and then steals it. That’s kinda fitting – totally overpowered dickwad, that Bolas.

/u/bboomslang on Light, accessible games which you can bust out for non-gamers and gamers alike
Paperback is my go-to game for those situations, because I can have it with me all the time (it’s just a deckbox full of cards) and it is really easy to get people into. And it prepares people for deck builders, which is one of my favorite mechanics. But the real plus for this game when played with non-gamers is that everyone feels like they can contribute and do something, because it boils down to build words out of letters. So even if they at first don’t get the deck building and the power of some cards, they still do things where they feel they achieved something in the end.

/u/bboomslang on [WSIG] Engine Building Games
And it’s spiritual predecessor Imperial Settlers if the post-apocalyptic is off-putting 😉
Actually they are a bit different in that 51st State is much more in-your-face, since everything can be razed and probably will be razed if your opponent doesn’t like your engine, while with IS you can usually build your faction-specific card engine without too much hampering.

I’m a sucker for science themes – so it is Neolithic and Pathogenesis for me.

Zum ersten Mal mit Juliana Mare Nostrum gespielt. Definitiv komplexer als manch anderes Spiel, das wir gespielt haben, aber nach ein paar Runden findet man gut rein. Macht echt Laune.

/u/bboomslang on Phil Eklund question
I have Greenland and enjoy playing it solo, it is astonishing how much game is in such a little box. Really great work. And I have Bios: Genesis on preorder and waiting for it’s delivery, because of it’s awesome theme. And I read the rule books to some of his other games, too. His rules are damn tightly written, so make sure you don’t miss even a half sentence, because that might make you play it wrong. On the other hand, if you sort the rules out, his games seem to flow nicely. He definitely puts very unique themes to his games.
His games have living rules, so make sure you check the newest iterations from time to time, as stuff might change.
