Hi everyone, I thought I'd say hi in this new community as a new moderator. I'm Foon (she/her), and I love table top games. My partner and I have been gaming a lot in the past 5 years or so, and we have a bunch of friends that turned into boardgamers too, and boardgamers that we turned into friends. So on average we get almost a game a day in.

I'm excited to discuss all things tabletop gaming with you all. Some of my favourite games are Gloomhaven/Frosthaven, Spirit Island, Aeon's End, Terraforming Mars.

What are y'all's favourite games?

Aeon's End is one of our top games as well! My wife and I have beaten every nemesis except for maybe 3 of the newer expansion ones. It's such an amazing system but I think we're going to have to call it quits soon since we're running out of space to store it all! I think I finally have it all stored in both Legacy boxes and the "Past and Future" box.

Unfair is our other favorite and probably the first "scary game" (her words) that she got really into. We play it a bit nicer than intended. I actually proposed to my wife with this game (and the help of the designer) with a custom card!

Everdell is probably number three. We got it as a Christmas gift one year, played it probably eight times in a five days, and ordered whatever expansions we could get our hands on.

Ah yes, we have the exact same problem with Aeon's End storage. I think we have all the content minus one set of promo cards, and indeed it takes 3 boxes to store everything! I think AE might be our most played game, we have played it probably >200 times ๐Ÿ˜… Have you also tried doing the bosses on increased difficulty levels? I like how it really changes the strategies you have to use for some of them.

We have not just yet. We got "caught up" on beating every Nemesis just before our child was born a few years ago, but that's definitely on our radar when we have some more free time to just leave it set up (and not worry about a kid eating charge counters!)

What has been your favorite expansion/series of content? I really liked this latest with Past and Future just giving us brand new characters far enough before and after the main story, and a few of the new mage powers are really cool. I think prior to that, we really enjoyed The New Age wave.
