If another publisher wants to create a 2nd edition, all bets are off, though.So let's hope for some good news later on. After so many games though, we would need more paleontologist cards with different bonuses and maybe some new actions to do with the bones. But we always play it willingly.

by FrascoSal The choice of games is of course biased by our (the organisers) taste, so it's mainly abstract (in the sense of combinatorial) but there is also Bridge, for instance. And in the afternoon, there is a Game Design workshop which is open to a broader range of games (Card/euro, etc) :)Don't take the expressions too literally :D we are just trying to convince a broader audience to try these games!

Evtl. haben einige die schon angefangen, die sich wie ich trotzdem noch als Einstiger betrachten. Dann wäre vielleicht eine andere Kampagne interessanter.Nur vorsichtige Fragen, keine Aufforderung zu zusätzlicher Arbeit. ;)

Thread: Göbeklitepe: Dawn of Human:: General:: small majority point difference

15 June 2025 @ 10:36 am

by baboonov From the images of the game-boardI see that the majorities on the day/night sections don't really bring a lot of VP (stars);and the difference is 2VP between 1st and 2nd (and 3rd).I would guesstimate that this isn't a high scoring game, but even at end scores in the ~50VP - the area majority is negligible. So why bother with the area majority mechanism? p.s. this is totally speculative on my end. I just looked at the photos to try and understand how the game works😺

Reply: Congress of Vienna:: Rules:: Re: Generalissimo - who can play cards?

15 June 2025 @ 10:35 am

by NoiL I have one additional question. What happens if:- there are both armies (ru + au) on the track, but there is no generalissimo- from Coalition side, only RU places their military operation token on the location, indicating only their army (Army of Silesia) should be present in the attack- however, France also places their military operation token there, attacking both armies at once (they should defend together with the -3 penalty)Does this behave exactly as if there were two Allied tokens, even if there's only one? Can Austria in this case place Military support there and play it's military cards in this battle?

Google Pixel 9a vs. Pixel 9

15 June 2025 @ 11:02 am

With the Google Pixel 9a having launched a few months ago and the Google Pixel 9 hitting shelves nearly a year back, a common dilemma arises—should you opt for the newer mid-range model or stick with last year’s flagship? It’s a valid question, especially given their similar pricing and shared DNA. In Europe, the Pixel 9 costs about €100 more than the 9a, while in the US, the gap widens to $150. On paper, the two phones have a lot in common—identical displays, matching chipsets, and comparable camera setups. But look a little closer, and a few key differences emerge. For some, they may...

Weekly poll: iOS 26 and Liquid Glass, love them or hate them?

15 June 2025 @ 8:03 am

iOS 26 is billed as the biggest overhaul of Apple’s smartphone operating system in a long while. It’s also part of an effort to create a unified UI across all Apple platforms. What do you think about it? The new UI, called Liquid Glass, was inspired by visionOS (for Apple’s XR headset) and it has already been applied to Apple’s first-party apps (Google can be a bit slow in adopting the latest Android UI design language). We’ve seen people praise the new look as well as people that hate it and so we wanted to get your opinion. People who like it, say that the fluidity is great and...

Deals: Xiaomi 15 and 15 Ultra prices fall to new low, plus some more affordable offers

15 June 2025 @ 5:01 am

The pricing of Xiaomi’s 15-series has reached a new low, offering a choice between a relatively compact flagship and an all-out camera phone. We know that many don’t consider the Xiaomi 15 to be “small” with its 6.36” display and 71.2mm width. Still, it’s one of the smaller Snapdragon 8 Elite flagships and, unlike say a Galaxy S25, it has triple 50MP cameras on the back. This includes a main with a large 1/1.31” sensor, a 2.6x/60mm telephoto and a 115° ultra-wide. The phone runs on a 5,240mAh battery with fast charging (90W wired, 50W wireless) and gets great battery life. The display...

Weekly poll results: the Realme GT 7 is great if you can get it at a discount, GT 7T not so much

15 June 2025 @ 2:04 am

The Realme GT 7 and GT 7T may have been announced together, but last week’s poll suggests that they will go on very different paths in life. The GT 7 is proving to be quite popular, even if the MSRP is high, while the GT 7T has failed to convince most people that it is a good pick. Starting on a positive note, the Realme GT 7 saw a third of the votes go in its favor and a third saying that it’s a good phone, but it’s pricey. However, that isn’t necessarily the case – we saw people in the comments saying that they got great deals on the phone. So if MSRP turned you away, have another look...

Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro vs. Redmi Note 14 Pro+ (global models)

You're shopping for a mid-range phone in the €200–€300 range, and the Redmi Note 14 series clearly offers solid value. The problem?

The price gap is minimal, and their spec sheets are nearly identical.
