    I love Wingspan. It’s a great game and the expansions make it even better (I have Europe And Oceania).

    I’ve thought about buying the Nesting Box for it too but it’s so expensive for what is essentially an empty box.

      I did scoop up Ark Nova before ever having played it lol, the deal was nuts. I did get a chance to play it at my LGS the following week and immediately felt good about the purchase. Grand ol time.

    I am jealous, mine are still sitting in the queue. Last year it took almost a month.
    Which day were you able to release the holds?

    For impulse, I will guess some of the smaller ones since we tend to take more risks with those. Canvas and Radlands perhaps? (Both of those are great btw)

      I was able to release on the 14th, maybe a few minutes after 12 their time. One of the lucky ones!

      And yep all the small ones were impulse. I’ve never played any version of Splendor but heard great things about duel, and at ~$13 pfft that’s basically free.

      If you like Splendor and often play at 2 then Splendor Duel is definitely worth checking out. The new draft and new win conditions change things up quite a bit. I still like to go back to regular Splendor too though when I am in the mood for that pure Splendor goodness.

      NerdzDay is an annual sales even by Gamenerdz, a US online retailer. It’s very popular because they often include some very good deals and the store has a relatively low free-shipping threshold and an easy to use customer hold option (which means that they can can hold your orders until you pile up enough to qualify for the free shipping)

      Oh boi, splendor duel is a two player version of it that by many accounts is better than the original splendor (for sure if you play with two players)

    Root is complex, so you need to have someone to really know the rules. But as soon everyone understand what its faction is supposed to do to win, it’s pure pleasure!

      Radlands is a 2-player only card battler. You fight in multiple lanes and try to destroy each other bases. The cards have relatively simple abilities that can combo together and you can also use them for discard effects. Water is a resource used to pay for playing cards, managing your water and your card draws is very important. Cool art, good card quality, not too expensive.
