Imagining a transporter chief named Jim Beam

Golden Gate does feel like that classic OS release where they’ve finally Calmed The Fuck Down about a few things. Corner radii have been reined in, liquid glass has definitely gotten more refined, things feel a lot more snappier etc

Like brothers in arms we’re more than a team

And the heart of a city we wear on our sleeves

Played Stationfall for the first time last night (4 players). It’s an experience for sure, and I definitely recommend it as a mad experience for people who like more complicated interactions in a board game.
