Re: Movies we've seen in 2022

I watched Fried Green Tomatoes with my 19 y.o. daughter. We had a great time. She is learning to add non-action movies to her list of things she is willing to watch. It was fun to see a younger version of Chris O'donnell.

Our "normal" is shuffling the resource hexes, but we place the number tokens like the setup shows. I guess it could be made even more random if we shuffles the numbers too. The 5-6 expansion should always be used for a quicker game. It allows faster expansion and keeps players from becomin...
