by brueh Hello dear, I do not sell loose promos, and I always include them in future releases it. For this one, I included this promo set on the playing with fire expansion. While these cards are a holiday themed promo pack that I've create during the holidays (and their card numbers reflect that) it was actually never distributed loose fore free - as most of my other promo packs I giveaway in conventions.

17 December 2025 @ 12:57 am

by Firnefex For me, the base game is too focused on the growth queue to win. If you're unlucky, you might as well have lost the game already.Another problem is that without a few good cards for a 2-room house, you never want to renovate early, as this would bring too many disadvantages.FotM fixes that with special actions and the heating mechanism.However, there are plenty of players who prefer the base game to FotM (I'm not one of them), also FotM is completely missing from BGA and I don't know if they will ever implement it. ;-(So the question is, does it also offer ways to compensate for such potential disadvantages?

iPhone Air 2 once again rumored to gain a second rear camera, maybe even a lower price

17 December 2025 @ 5:31 am

An intriguing new rumor today confirms that there will be an iPhone Air 2 (even though it may only arrive in spring 2027), and it will add a second camera. This was first rumored last month, and it's nice to get a 'confirmation' of sorts (as much as any rumor can count as that). While today's report doesn't mention what the second camera will be, the rumor from November did - an ultrawide. That kind of makes sense since the main camera can crop zoom to 2x with decent results, but there's no way for it to simulate a wider field of view. The iPhone Air 2 is also said to be cheaper...
