Thrift found this mystery coin/token/thing in a box made by Wyrmwood (a company that makes D&D/tabletop accessories — dice vaults, DM screens, etc.). I don't know if it belongs in that box, or just accidentally in there.
The wood is very lightweight, like spalted maple. Single-sided design, back is completely plain. The inlay looks like crushed abalone and resin monogram or rune. Does it say DM?
Reverse image search shows no matches. eBay search for Wyrmwood didn’t find any matches. I’m guessing it’s related to a specific game. #games
So this is my current collection after 10+ years of collecting. My first experiences with games that weren't classic board games were Chinatown and Secret Hitler, around 2015, two games that are still favourites to this day. In university, having people around to play Secret Hitler proved to me that I could invite people over with the only reason being to play games, and they would show up. Those nights of shouting at friends are still some really fond memories.
After that, I started getting more games, and I always try to get games with a mechanic I don't have yet. I'm not really interested in getting Werewolf or Avalon since I already have a social deduction game I love, so I try to explore new stuff: a real-time game like Captain Sonar, a board game where the board is in pieces like Istanbul, a 1v4 asymmetrical knowledge game like Treasure Island, or a game that you play while doing other stuff like Don't Get Got.
I also started getting into 2-player games, so the top shelf has all of those, with Tak being my favourite and probably the hardest to find.
Anyways, I have a long list of games I want to add to the collection, but if you know a cool mechanic I'm missing that you think I'd like, let me know! #games source
Are the Control & Chaos Packs worth it? For a 2-Player game?
I was thinking of buying one so that my wife and I could play. We were having a blast playing with the Base Edition, so I thought I could buy this to keep the game interesting. I removed some of the cards in the base set that could cause broken combos like the Phoenix Unicorn.
From what I know, this isn't an expansion but a complete set. Could I still mix it to my 2nd Edition Base game, along with the other expansion packs available?
Also, if you could recommend which one is best for a 2-player, let me know! I'm also looking forward to mixing this with other expansion packs from Unstable Unicorns to keep the game customized to the two of us. Thanks!! #games source
