they're inviting people to a beta for an expansion that comes out in like 3 weeks?

Real talk: They usually do this towards the end of beta/lead in to the new expansion, basically gets the hype train happening via word of mouth.

Crosspostin' from the boardgame thread

Infinitum posted:

My Crokinole board arrived today, which is faaaaaantastic as I'm hosting a board game day tomorrow and the lads don't know it's arrived.

I'll take some better action shots tomorrow, but I figured I'd post some before and after waxing photos.

Here's how the board arrived fresh out of the box. It felt like there was a very very thin layer of wax on it already, if at all, but after a few test flicks I wasn't happy with it. The lack of wax is best seen in the gutter, but there was a weird finish all over the Rosewood veneer. Having to wax the board myself was fine as I was expecting that I would need to do it before play anyway.

I applied a layer of Mother's California Gold Pure Brazilian Carnauba Wax, and allowed it to dry for a few hours while I did some other things.

Final result post-buffing.

Played a couple of rounds with Mum who seemed to really like it, this shot gives a better idea of how well it came up after buffing.

Overall I'm excited to finally have my board arrive. It's obviously an entry level board from Kickstarter, but I knew what I was getting and this 100% meets expectations.
It arrived undamaged, other than some very very very minor scuffing, and is rock solid.

Very pleased with it

I'll probably post some more thoughts after taking it for a more thorough spin tomorrow. I may apply another layer of wax to reaaaaally get it slippery, but I'll see how it plays first.
Now I just need to find somewhere to loving hang it...

So yeah I'll post some more thoughts tomorrow, otherwise very happy with it for the moment.

Mode 7 posted:

I should have gone with the rosewood over maple, that looks gorgeous.

Yeah I was going back and forth if I wanted the maple finish, but I feel this is more 'unique' and looks a lot better in person than what the photos showed.

hundreds of dollars... what fraction of a new console did this cost

It cost $200AUD, including shipping, which was how much I paid as a deposit on my PS5.
This is a regularly run Kickstater, and this was the first time they offered international shipping.

this is the loving fairy bread of board games

What have you got against fairy bread? :toughguy:

Acerbatus posted:

I haven't thought about that since my great aunt died. I half thought it was something she just made up.

Crokinole has been around since 1867! It's meant to be quite popular in Canada from what I've heard.
It's also the 5th best Family Game, and the 67th Best Game Overall on BGG

tl;dr Try Crokinole if you can, cause then you'll want to buy a board yourself :hmmyes:

Like I get the Mario Game and Watch. It's the original size just with modern upgrades under the hood.

I have adult sized hands, how the gently caress is the Micro going to be comfortable to play after long stretches.
It's a gimmick, and I probably would have bought one if it was like 25-50% larger.
