As both a teacher and a board gamer, I keep a respectable collection of games in my classroom that includes both games. Here’s a quick head-to-head comparison of Harmonies and Cascadia in the class.

In the Blue Corner: Harmonies

Pros

- Students love the art and animals. They often compete for cards simply because they like the design.

- The tension of fitting land tokens keeps them engaged. I house-rule that students can rearrange their last three tokens until their next turn, so play keeps flowing without downtime.

- Spirit Animals scale the challenge nicely for older kids.

- Its Minecraft-like feel makes it intuitive for students familiar with that game or those with stro

In 1v1 on Colonist, right after someone gets the first point, the chance to get a 7 after the first point skyrockets. I thought I was just imagining things, but other players have pointed it out without me saying a single word.. and then I started keeping track... what is going on here? The chance of getting a 7 is about 1 in 6 rolls. Of course there is going to be some variance, but in my games, it is super heavy with the early 7 right after friendly robber is off and other players have noticed this as well.

I was quite excited to get Hive. I played base hive and it was great some times but fell flat other times. It felt like playing chess without Knights or Bishops. Whenever I played base Hive with anyone, some games ended in a very predictable and the 1st player advantage felt very significant.

Just an anecdote of my experience with Armaf Precieux 1, a clone/twist on Creed Absolu Aventus but in extrait form. Because Precieux is so damn strong, the change is way more noticeable. When I first bought the bottle, the fragrance was soooo strong. For the first 30 minutes it would absolutely blast off my skin for about 30 minutes to an hour (it still does actually but to a lesser degree). I had got a big headache on my first wear. Even after a couple of weeks, I had decided to wear it to the movie theatre and everyone knew 😂.. my date knew, all the movie-goers knew.

Fast forward 2 months, this week alone, I've had 3 people compliment the fragrance and 1 person asked to take a picture of

I have been playing online a lot, and I'm looking to buy 2 sets.

I am on the fence between Ultimate+Carbon or Pocket Ultinate + Carbon Pocket Ultimate + Ultimate

I'm a visually dependent person. For example, I play chess mainly on an XXL board and any smaller throws off my pattern recognition and I feel like I can't "see" the board. So, I'm not sure if the smallness of Pocket will be a problem or the lack of colors on carbon will be an issue... I mean it'll be black and white like chess though.
