I still need to try Acquire. Really enjoy Sackson's Can't Stop (even though it's very different) as a very light filler.

I still have fond memories of my son, who was 6 or 7 at time, being convinced that Santa was my dad (he was not wrong).
So the following year we got a friend of my parents to stand in as Santa. The look on my son's face as my dad and Santa were in the same room was priceless.
So much for the Scooby Doo unmasking he was planning...

English Christmas today, with turkey and presents. Maybe a walk, maybe a nap. Merry Christmas!

One of the first ones crashed during an airshow and it was thereafter nicknamed "the world's fastest plough". At least that's what I presume @npub17x4…u7yh is referring to.

I may have missed you posting about it, but is InterRail not an option?

Först till sjukhuset, sen vidare till möbelaffär för att kolla på soffor som kan ersätta sofforna vi haft i 20+ år och till slut kanske prova att baka sticky toffee pudding.

Yes, that would explain it: Three new players and a perhaps suboptimal rules explanation would be less than ideal.
Personally I wouldn't play it more than two players (maybe 3 if everyone knew the game well) because the problem space just becomes too large and brains start going *POP!* (at least mine does). It's probably also the only game I will play solo.
I do hope you get a chance to play it again though as I think it's a great game that if it clicks has lots of replayability.

It sounds to me like there was a disconnect from the flow of the game (which is indeed different from most games in that there are no individual player turns).
The idea is that players make a communal plan in phase 2 as to what to do and what cards to play and this plan is then executed in phase 3 (fast cards) and phase 5 (slow cards) with the invaders doing their thing in phase 4.
Out of curiosity had any of the players involved played it before?

Interesting! It's not a situation we've ever found ourselves in since we find that the ever constant pressure from the invaders forces players to do something to solve what is effectively a constantly evolving puzzle.
Could it perhaps have something to do with not being invested in the premise? Not that it really matters in the end, since no game can appeal to everyone...

See if I can muster up the mental energy required to play Spirit Island with the Jagged Earth expansion for the first time. Love the game, but it gives me decision anxiety like nothing else.
The maybe bake a sticky toffee pudding. Health food for the soul!

Crikey, haven't heard that in decades. It was on the first pop album (well, tape) me and my sister bought (Chart Busters 82). Thanks for reminding me!

Gick förbi Slussen för ett litet tag sen. Hela området är ju helt förändrat sen jag var där sist! Stockholm tycks ändras i en våldsam takt...

Jump on a flight to Copenhagen followed by a train to Kristianstad followed by a car ride to Yngsjö followed by eating köttbullar med lingonsylt. It'll be a long day, but worth it.

Ha, I wish! Long term health issue that necessitates far more interaction with the health services than I'd like (as lovely as the staff all are).

Visit nurse for dressing change, off to shop to pick up prescriptions, start packing for jolly to Sweden and maybe play some more 51st State with jr #1.

It's amazing. Just agonising whether to replace my 3rd edition base game with the 4th ed Ultimate edition. Not entirely convinced the expansions will improve the game though.

Arrange accommodation for long delayed jolly to Stockholm ( \o/ ), try and gather enough mental energy to be humiliated again by Jr #1 at Innovation, bake some more bread and maybe some biscuits.

If you're not averse to using the command line you can use ADB to get rid of most apps on android phones.

It's just pure clickbait, IMHO
