That's why right now I'm going to be like, "I'm going to make a post every one or two or three or four weeks or maybe even longer than that if I really don't feel like writing anything." Basically my plan for writing blog posts is at least once a month, although hopefully a little more frequently. Or not. (you see what I did there? I added that "Or not" at the end that way if I fail I won't feel like I failed you just myself, aren't I tricky :P (well, except for the fact that adding that on counter acted my point, but whatever))
Also board game list has changed a little. Pandemic Legacy and Ashes switched places making Ashes my favorite board game of all time at this moment. I did this change because Joseph keeps claiming that Dominion is my favorite game of all time, but I keep resisting. I don't feel like it is. There are too many times where I just don't feel like playing it to make it my favorite (although right now I'm on a Dominion craze. Playing through the suggested sets of Adventures to finish off The Card (well until Empires) (have I told you about The Card? I'll have to if I haven't (And I know I haven't) because it is awesome!))
Every time I'm just like, "I don't know Pandemic Legacy is a pretty good game." But it didn't feel right. Sure my 18 straight or so games of Pandemic Legacy will definitely be better than any 18 straight games of Dominion. However, I have played Dominion far far more than 18 times. I have played hundreds of games of Dominion with 80 or so on record (due to The Card).
However, I don't feel bad about saying that I prefer Ashes over Dominion. I love the game, I love deck building, I love the art, I love the publisher, I love the designer, I love the release schedule, and I love the community that it has. Especially because I am a part of it. With Dominion it's just me and my family playing Dominion. With Ashes it's just me and a 1,500 people that I get to interact with and talk about the game with. (granted not nearly that many people actually post or respond to anything, but you get the jist (also, is jist a word, and if so how do you spell it? because it says that is not how you spell it and jest doesn't look right)
On a different note, I made some mini expansions for 7 Wonders: Duel and Castles of Burgundy. I showed my mom the mini expansions and noted on how they were expensive for how little you were getting. She said we should make our own. So we did. The tiles and the card are laminated (although the edges of the tiles are exposed due to the lamination not being tight enough (due to the tiles being too thick)) The pictures aren't the best quality.
Castles of Burgundy first since it doesn't look as cool:
Obviously I made more tiles, these are just the different ones. As you can tell the art on my tiles is not even close to the art on the actual. I wanted a simple design that way I could be consistent in my drawings. A tent made sense.

Actually don't know where the bottom left token is, so I might have to
remake that. Which is fine because we actually messed up on it at first.
I made an additional tent, so I had to take a permanent marker to it.
The token itself is a building tile that acts like any other building
tile, so I just put a black box over the tent and put question marks.

My mom also did the art on this, although I did add a few touches. One of which was darkening the lines.
