Derek recently posted about not resisting a good discount, and I'm no different. My FLGS had sales last week, and offered Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion for 29 euro. I wasn't in a rush to buy the game, but since the price was right...
... it had to come with me. 😏 The only problem is I just started working at a new job. Yesterday was my first day. I had to wake up at 5:30 in the morning, and came back home at 18:00. I was in a state of disintegration. So I just unboxed the game to see the contents, and that's it. I will still try to stick to playing my older games although it will get significantly harder from now on. Anyway. The box is chock-full of stuff and heavier than I thought. Hopefully it's not difficult to learn. I'll let you all know. 🦁
I like the way you have the box strapped-in, so it would hopefully survive a collision, or just a quick stop.
If you don't mind revealing it, what's your new job? Hopefully, full-time Play-Tester! The one-hour commute kinda sucks. If Athens is like other huge metropolitan areas, the traffic probably super-sucks. Me and traffic don't get along. I'm a bit of a road-rage oriented person (I wouldn't shoot anyone, though - unless they intended to shoot me 🙂). When I lived in San Antonio, TX, I flipped-off an unmarked police car. That didn't go well. 😄
Waking up at 5:30am? Gruesome! When I retired, I beat the piss outta one alarm clock with a rubber mallet (so I had to strike it several times to kill it), while wearing Safety Glasses, of course, and ran over another one in the driveway with my car. It was wonderful! 😄
I always say, "'Work' is the original 4-letter word", 'cause here in the U.S. our primary cuss-words are mostly 4 letters (in no particular order): Shit, F**k, Hell, and Damn - all 4-letter words.
I'm sad your gamin' is gonna be cut-back, but, when you do play, it'll probably be better, 'cause you're missin' the former frequency of it.
