Je change régulièrement parce que j’ai un petit TOC où j’aime bien que tout le contenu de mes jeux soit utilisé pour qu’il n’y ait pas de jaloux.
Mais mes préférés sont les loutres.
Edit: comme je le pensais, elles viennent de l’extension Everdell: Mistwood.

A plusieurs, on a joué à 3 avec mes enfants et je crois que j'avais les tortues (les écureuils et les hérissons étaient pris !)

En solo, je joue souvent avec les écureuils ; les hérissons, thématiquement, c'est plutôt Paillasson.A plusieurs, on a joué à 3 avec mes enfants et je crois que j'avais les tortues (les écureuils et les hérissons étaient pris !)

Complaints and frustration are fine. Abuse and obscenity should not be tolerated, let alone rewarded.

All of the other systems assumed a baseline level of knowledge that assumed a familiarity if not with direct mechanics then the basic mechanical 'idea'. I don't know how else to describe it. And the 'freedom' of some systems felt like being provided with nothing except a few limp pages held together with staples.
D&D offers scaffolding and structure to get started. It's beginner friendly in a way that rules light, or other systems simply aren't. As a beginner I needed structure, stories and mechanics to give myself and my players something to hold onto.... be that story or mechanics.
Now after about 10 months of play I have the baseline with which to engage with other systems, I can see where I can improvise or house-rule, where I can let go of mechanics and use narrative instead. But whether or not they see it, the majority of other RPGs by setting themselves in opposition, apart or as an alternative to D&D inadvertently assume a baseline that only D&D overtly offers. And it's almost impossible for someone who has played even a moment of D&D or being taught another system by someone else to see that a lot of the time. But when you come to this fresh, with absolutely no background in it, it's very clear.

I bought a bunch of RPGs https://rpggeek.com/collection/user/wiblick after getting interested in the hobby about 18 months ago... and ultimately ended up starting to play with D&D.All of the other systems assumed a baseline level of knowledge that assumed a familiarity if not with direct mechanics then the basic mechanical 'idea'. I don't know how else to describe it. And the 'freedom' of some systems felt like being provided with nothing except a few limp pages held together with staples.

What am I doing here?
Why is your character risking their life and their sanity searching for lost gold in a dangerous labyrinth? Why are they confronting shadowy cultists in sea side grottos lit by a pale moon? Why did they decide to cross the mafia?
I just wanna say that I love this. I think a lot of people don't realize how much the other things can take care of themselves if you give the right attention to this.
In movies and books one of the biggest tricks is to get the viewer/reader to care. In RPGs you can literally write the reason for caring on the character sheet with a good answer to these why questions. Yes, obviously it needs to fit the rest of the party and the GM's world. But that goes for absolutely everything else about a character too.
Why to care matters.

It was the first on the field . . . all other RPGs came behind . . . some close behind, some with different mechanics, some with huge difference playing style, BUT they are still compared to D&D. Because it set a standard (when there was no standard 🙂) .
