Well, this is a non-buy for me.  I already have *everything*, lost interest by the time the final kickstarter shipped, and Marvel Champions has basically obsoleted SotM for me.

Here's a stripped down version of the announcement:
&gt; 
&gt; So, here I am, announcing Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition! If you’re familiar with Sentinels, this is certainly still the game that you recognize, but cleaned up and improved in just about every way. All of the art is brand new. The writing and game design have both been stripped down to their core elements and rebuilt better and cleaner than before — the game plays more swiftly and smoothly now, and everything happening on the table is communicated in a way that keeps the players engaged, and the action moving forward. All of the graphic design is significantly improved, thanks to the expertise of our graphic designers, Rae Henderson and Darrell Louder. And the polish on the game shines brightly, thanks to the development and playtesting help of our developer Chris Burton and quite a few playtesters. We started working on this game in early 2020, and most of the last half of the year was spent in intensive playtesting to make sure this was the best version of Sentinels of the Multiverse that anyone had ever seen.
&gt; 
&gt; In the coming weeks, I’ll be posting more updates all about just what Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition is. I’ll talk about game updates, show off improved art and graphic design, and go over the contents of this new core set. (Spoilers: the contents are different, now with 12 heroes, 6 villains, 6 environments, and a bunch of other brand new things that we’ve never done before.) We’ll also talk about the Kickstarter campaign that we’re going to use to launch this new phase of Sentinels. (It’s going live on March 30th, but we’ll get more into that in the future.)

Sounds like they're going to eventually re-release ALL of that content with "definitive" editions. I'm very skeptical as I'm one of those guys who became so overwhelmed with the gigantic box and everything that I sold it all.

GtG announces Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition.

 So, if you have four players, technically all four of those players might want to run the maximum three copies of each of those cards. To do so, you would need twelve copies of every Neutral card (3 Core Sets), not one. But stick with us, this isn’t a real problem, and you should not buy four Core Sets to accommodate this.

So far, we do not know the details, but we’ve gathered that they’re bigger, thematic boxes that feature significant story arcs. We’re guessing there might be an Avengers Campaign Expansion, X-Men Campaign Expansion, Guardians of the Galaxy Campaign Expansion, etc. Could be totally wrong, but that makes the most sense! Or they could be more like Infinity War Campaign Expansion, like the Saga Expansions from Lord of the Rings.

 If you’re joining an already-established group, decide what Hero you want to play. If that Hero is available in a Hero Pack, buy that Hero Pack. If that Hero is available in the Core Set, buy a Core Set or ask if you can borrow.

The X-Men are coming to Marvel Champions

I am excited to keep playing Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion with my game group on TTS. Love this version of the game and hope we push through and finish it (not this weekend, just ever 🤪). 

Also excited to play the last Star Wars Unlock with my son. My favorite of the escape room games and the Star Wars one has been great so far. 

My daughter has been asking to play Chronicles of Crime 1400. Another one of my favorites, and glad she loves it so much. We are only 1 mission in, but this version is definitely super fun. 

Bonus: Since it is Valentine's day weekend maybe my wife will want to play Wingspan. She loves birds and we have 5 feeders outside my back window. I love playing it with her since it brings her joy.

It's Friday🎉🎉🎉 What are you looking forward to playing this weekend and why? (2/12/21)

I am fairly new to the hobby but I am always surprised when I see some of these games come up with so much love behind them and when I played them I just couldn’t find the joy. I’m sure this is common for all of us, where a game has a lot of hype and you play it and it just doesn’t connect. 

A few for me are:

Ticket to Ride and Azul

What games have you tried due to the mass market recommendation and just didn’t enjoy it?

What Did You Play This Week? - (April 26, 2021)

I was wandering if anyone else has purchased so much content for a game they cant reasonably use it all.

I am starting to feel a little like this with Legendary Marvel. I have thousands of cards, really enjoy the game but at this point between the schemes, heroes, masterminds and villains, dont think there is any way to get through it all.

One-Player Wednesday - (November 03, 2021)

* **On Mars** - I rated it 6/10 but would be interested in revisiting someday if I had a proper group to play it a few times. I generally don't care for Lacerda's games solo, and my wife wasn't fond of all the rules, and the exceptions to rules, and the exceptions to the exceptions of those exceptions. I get it. But I did see some things in it that I liked

  Quite honestly, I want just another pack or two, because as an adult I don't want to play this game THAT many times. But a little more variety would be nice.
