Disclaimer:  No idea offhand what the suggested age range is for Ticket to Ride.  The game mechanics are really simple.  You collect cards of the same color to build railroad lines between cities on the map and I'm fairly certain that a first grader can pick it up.  The game strategy, however...

This thread and this LINK convinced me to try Captain Sonar.  Looks awesome.   Also have Legendary (deck builder) and Small World (makers of Ticket to Ride) under the tree. Merry Christmas!

I'm redoing my basement and thought above the pinball machine idea.  But there are a lot of moving parts on those things.  Any idea how often they break or where you go/what you have to pay for breakfix/maintenance?

Decker just scored

Buy:  Crabtree, Carr, Jennings, Abdullah (I would be happy to take any of these in the 8th round) Sell:  Denver, Eifert, Thomas, White (Defense, Injuries, Rookie WR with no preseason buzz and Royals getting healthy; and the talented, but underwhelming Julius Thomas) A round or two too early...

The Bucs had some nice downfield passes but they seemed to take a long time to develop.  The Browns had ZERO pass rush and Winston had plenty of time.  Not so sure how that offense is going to perform when Winston is under real pressure.   I will say this for Winston, he stands strong in the...

Typical Buc start.  That Winston TD should have been an interception.  

Easy to fix.  Just hang up on any call that starts in Spanish. 

I love the idea but its not an option.  The bike will be a gift to my GF's daughter who is graduating HS -- and a beater won't work.

Any decent suggestions for a less than $500 bike? Primarily used by a college student to get around a large campus, but possibly used for some paved trails as well?

Apparently, by suppressing the right of people to express their "gender".

I played Ticket to Ride for the first time this weekend. Had a blast. Also a big fan of Settlers.

The Cats looked good beating up on Ole Miss. They just need time. They aren't as good as some of Cal's past teams but they have the potential to be a contender.

Today's workout: Squats (5x5) + Band Inverted Y's (shoulder corrective) (3 sets) Push-ups (4 sets) + clams (3 sets) + hamstring curls (on ball or trx) (4 sets) Pull ups (4 sets) + half-kneeling isometric cable hold (4 sets)

I do resistance training 3 days/ week, usually have 2 leg exercises, 1 back, 1 chest, 1 shoulder corrective (2 past surgeries), 1 ab, and 1 hip exercise. Most of the workouts include 1-2 big movements (deadlift, squat, bench) -- though today's workout was more about "putting in the work" than...
