Read Stephenson’s “Fall; or, Dodge in Hell” recently. IMO the best part wasn’t the titular immortality/brain upload stuff. It was commentary on the practical results of social media feed “editing” & the extreme polarization of worldviews. Just like the best part of Snow Crash was actually the Deliverator

DOMINION Boxes Ranked! One of the most popular games of recent years, Dominion is a great game on its own. But it comes with 15 interesting expansions… all cross-compatible! Which one should you choose, for yourself or your game-loving friend? Here’s my ranking list 🧵

Power Dominion Combo Cards LURKER Intrigue 2nd Edition’s 2-Cost Lurker lets you trash actions from *supply* and then grab them later. This lets you grab expensive actions without paying. But its real power is 1) when the action you trash does something when it’s trashed or 2) when the action trashes itself anyway

I remember my first play of Nemesis Gen Con launch. Back row booth. The team yells: we are 10 minutes over. But there's no way we're leaving. We're 1 turn from victory—or defeat. Somehow we pull it off with our last action, even as the team resets the board. I still have the promo fig, but the memory's worth more.

Have friends into the Netherlands? Here are some other Dutch-themed games... All are decent. But in particular: Pandemic: Rising Tide is great if you like Pandemic but have some COVIDPTSD. Lowlands is an often-missed game where you constantly have to choose between helping yourself or helping everyone.
