Irish explorer who led three British expeditions to the Antarctic Ernest Shackleton died #OTD in 1922.
Shackleton's first experience of the polar regions was as third officer on Captain Robert Falcon Scott's Discovery expedition of 1901–1904. During the Nimrod expedition of 1907–1909, he and three companions established a new record Farthest South latitude at 88°S, only 180 kilometres from the South Pole. via @wikipedia

In 1921, Shackleton returned to the Antarctic with the Shackleton–Rowett Expedition, but died of a heart attack while his ship was moored in South Georgia. At his wife's request, he was buried there. The wreck of Endurance was discovered just over a century later. via @wikipedia
Linds and I set up #Scythe#Expeditions the other night but her brain wasn't working and she totally forgot to play (it has been months and she has only played twice before.)
We kept it set up on the table and reset it tonight to try again. She, of course, won 65 to 56. I forgot Solving quests impacts the points per star and I completed 0 quests instead focusing on equipment and Corruption Tokens.
Bethesda released more information on the second Expedition [from Appalachia,] which will take place in Atlantic City. This will be a two-part content update, and the first part will arrive on Dec. 5....
Happy Sunday Funday! For any of you out there curious about the brand new game, #Expeditions, check out our new videos we just posted!
If you're new to my videos, I typically put out 2. The BURST is a 3 to 4 minute look at everything you need to know about the game. The standard version will be a deeper dive, typically from 30 to 60 minutes. Enjoy!
Taught Lindsey how to play #Scythe#Expeditions and she was a fan. We both tied with 61 points but she won the tie breaker. She said she preferred this over the original Scythe since there was no combat.
I stepped up to level 2 automa in #Scythe#Expeditions but lost by 9 points. I feel you really need to commit to a card type (quests, items, or meteorites) to grab the glory for having 4. If you try to collect a few, you seem to really get caught not collecting enough glory to compete.
Ended up winning by a pretty big margin but it has to be because I played with the easiest automa level. I felt like I was flailing around a bit at the beginning, trying to grasp how all the pieces fit together.
Since Anna could use a worker to "solve" a quest, I went heavy on quests and completed all 4. This definitely helped scoring at end as the quests are the score multiplier, much like Popularity in #Scythe
The first Atlantic City expedition for Fallout 76 will be released Dec 5, 2023. It will be on the public test server starting Oct 3. (www.polygon.com)

Has anyone tried Expeditions in solo/automa?
There is an additional rulebook for automa player. Hasn't tried it personally yet though
