Beyond the ability to handle them manually?One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.- Juls

I can't do it Saturday. I forgot that Alabama vs. Auburn was happening. I'll probably just /out for now cause Sunday isn't looking good either.-------------------------------------

Yeah, as far as I can tell I can shuffle them into the pile of human cards but the Final Fives can't be drawn from that pile into the loyalty deck. There are always five cards left over in the human pile that just won't move. I've posted a query on the Vassal forums but those boards seem a little dead so I doubt we'll get a good answer.#greenshirtthursdays- Sudo_Nym

I've played around with it, and it seems you can shuffle them in from the other piles, just not from the human cards. So it would work if we were willing to move the human pile into a different stack, but I don't know how dedicated we are to Final Five.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies.

Also interested in your thoughts on spyfall and tragedy looper which I was considering buying.
From all I've seen of the cure I don't think I need it, I already have pandemic. Looks fun though with the custom dice.
I've given a full rundown of everything here. Mysterium was a great and innovative co-op, and my one regret of the con was not buying it when I could.
I also really enjoyed my brief two plays of Spyfall and now must own it. Tragedy Looper was also innovative and different, but tough to wrap my head around at first. I want to play it again, and was glad I was taught by someone who knew what they were doing. I worry that needing exactly 4 players to play (which it really needs), along with the complex structure of the game will hamper the ability to play it without a regular group of players.
And I agree that you probably don't need both Pandemic and Pandemic: the Cure. I have the board game and won't be getting the dice game, but if I didn't have the board game, I'd probably get the dice version."When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning." -Reiner Knizia

Ooh! That's an easy enough solution. Good spot.
Prozac: Nexus can't do Sunday in case we overrun like crazy again.

Slightly, but not in a bad way. It has a couple more cards that have interaction with your opponents, which give them choices in play again, and it has a couple of cards that have options on them. So yes, you are probably a bit more involved in the game, also on your opponents turns, and that's probably good for the game.Surrender, imagine and of course wear something nice.- ChannelDelibird

Thank you!
There are some good deals about on sites like Cardhaus and MM (for example both have Rise of Augustus at like ~13 which is wow) and also Target (TtR and SoC are 32, Tapple and Telestrations are 9.99 and I hope to capitalize.). Hope y'all take advantage!There will be no kisses tonight

So for the purposes of scheduling, I currently have Juls and Prozac as preferring Sunday, CDB available for either but prefering Saturday, Me available for either, and LLD, Nexus, GreyICE, and Patrick with no stated preference.
It looks like Sunday's in the lead, but people should weigh in. I assume we're going around 7 GMT for the sake of our British players? Also, is it GMT or BST now? I don't know if that affects scheduling, but I'm curious.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies.

Alright, I need to make other plans for the weekend, so I need to call it on this thing. Unless I hear back, I'm going to assume we're playing Sunday, 7 GMT.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies.
