The Nussy hath cometh! Again?

Aaaaaaaaaand we're back. And in case you're wondering what the title of this post is alluding to... here's something that I wrote almost eight years ago. How time flies. Anyway, here's a bunch of things that came in since March 20...
/pic9510750.jpg)
Yup, I got the Nussy AGAIN. Well... not really again. After originally buying Nusfjord in 2018 and liking it well enough, I often thought that maybe I should get some of the expansions, but silly me had bought the English version of the core game, and it's not THAT easy to get the English expansions here in Germany. So for a while, I thought about maybe getting rid of my English edition, and buying a German one. But then the Nusfjord: Big Box was announced, and so I put that on my Want-list, and occasionally checked whether I could get my hands on it, and... yeah, very recently, I managed to do just that. And now I own the Nusfjord: Big Box. And also Nusfjord. I've already asked Schaaf whether he wants my original Nusfjord, but he wasn't too sure about that. He also hadn't played it yet, so... maybe I should play it with him, so that he gets to make up his mind about whether he needs this.
Also on my Want-list for a long, long time (well, since March of 2024, apparently) was Miremarsh, "a game of evil deeds, death, and tentacles". I remember being aware of the whole thing since it came out, but I was never too sure whether I really wanted it. Quite recently, I managed to trade six games I also didn't need anymore for a copy of Miremarsh, Miremarsh: The Undermire, and... half of the Miremarsh: Kickstarter Exclusives? The "Landmarks" and the "Fenlord", to be precise. These don't have their own database entries here on BGG. But yeah, I own them, alongside the other aforementioned things now. And I'm kind of looking forward to trying this thing out, because yeah, it looks amazing. Like... in a literal visual sense. It's very pretty. It also sounds interesting. Apparently very light and random and uncontrollable, but... it nevertheless sounds like there might be something here. A quick read-through of the rules makes me wary of a couple of things. Like... the whole "dying and respawning"-system seems a bit weird, because the pool of goblins you can come back as is shared among all players, and also when you die, you get the "bonus" of not having to spend a fish at the end of your turn, so you can outlast the players who didn't die? Maybe it makes sense in practice. I'll probably find out in the near future. Fingers crossed.
In the second row, we've first got Walking in Burano, and that box also includes the two mini-expansions Walking in Burano: Mini Expansion 1 – New Inhabitants and Walking in Burano: 2018 Essen Promo – New Shops. I got that in a trade against Suna Valo. My trade-partner was like "Suna Valo is probably worth more, so feel free to check whether you want anything else", but I didn't want anything else, and was okay with just getting rid of Suna Valo. I've already played Walking in Burano and might talk about it as early as tomorrow, so... check back then to find out whether I liked it.
The next one are the pledge rewards for backing Bolted!: The Game of Creative Necromancy (so the core-game, plus Bolted!: Elbowpalooza Expansion), which I hadn't expected to show up at my door yet, but... yeah, if you check the Kickstarter-project-page, there it is. Anticipated delivery: March of 2026. I got it on April 2, so... one month late, but considering the game was getting funded from November until December of 2025, that's nevertheless pretty impressive. It also looks good. A relatively small box (it is kind of deep, but apart from that, the dimensions seem reasonable) containing a game of body-part-drafting that should be playable in 30 to 60 minutes? Sounds like something that I might try out relatively soon. I'm looking forward to that.
The last board game for today is one I'm looking forward to even more, though. And it's Dungeons & Dragons: Trials of Tempus, another game that I had been interested in for a while, but the prohibitively high prices in general, and especially here in Europe, have stopped me from investigating it further. Most online retailers are asking for 100€ or so for the standard edition, and double that for the premium edition. FantasyWelt has it on sale for 62.89€ at the moment (the standard edition), and... fuck, that's 4€ less than I ended up paying for a version imported from the UK. Damn. Ah well, what can you do? And yeah, it looks really fucking cool. A team-based quasi-sports-game with some D&D-flavor and interesting character customization? Sounds neat. It apparently has a slight endgame-problem, but as far as I can tell, that has been fixed by an erratum by one of the designers. Now the biggest problem seems to be to find the right group of opponents to play this against. It's apparently best with six, so three versus three, but... that's not a number I have available that often. I wonder whether this is good as a two-player-game, where each player controls three characters. Folks online are like "Keeping track of two characters is already challenging", but... I don't know if you knew, people are idiots, and I have a huge brain and can probably do that without a problem. Maybe not. I don't know. Maybe I should try it with four first, or with two and both players play two characters each. Something like that. Maybe it also sucks ass, and then I don't even want to try it again. That would be a bit sad, but... these things happen, right? Hopefully not, but... they do. So yeah, looking forward to that quite a bit.
And then to round things out, we've got two new TTRPG-rulebooks. Well... two new MÖRK BORG-variants to be precise, because why the fuck would I buy anything else these days? They are RŌNIN, a.k.a. "MÖRK BORG, but more Asian", and Berserkr, a.k.a. "MÖRK BORG, but Vikings". Not much more to say about them, aside from... yey, more MÖRK BORG-adjacent stuff. Cool. Do I really need this? No. But I've got a lot of it now, and that's fun.
And that's that. Prepare to read more about some of these things in the near future on this very blog. Like tomorrow, when I might do an "On the table"-post about Walking in Burano. See you then!
