Hoping to borrow Ares Expedition from a friend soon. Played it once in Essen and wasn't wowed. Gonna be tough beating TFM after that...

A good expression for the situation. Wingspan's success is definitly to a large part because of it's accessibility. Every problem you have (no cards, food, eggs) has an immediate, guaranteed and obvious solution. Everything you CAN do improves your position. And if you play on the blue side there is barely any direct competition in the game. There's no way to shoot yourself in the foot. There is no requirement to plan ahead.
But it does have some potential to plan ahead, optimize and compete for those who want to.
It also doesn't fall into any of the typical setting tropes like fantasy or sci-fi that might put some people off. It's production values are pretty enough to catch some eyes.
There are better sober games and there are better drunk activities than Munchkin.
If you're at a point where you're having fun with Munchkin you'd be having fun without it as well...
Busses have their uses. Lots of commentor have mentioned the flexibility in setting up / changing routes. But there's also the flexibility in sizes. You can start a line with a large van or small mini bus and your only overhead is the driver. From there you can scale that up according to demand up to frequently run articulated busses. Meanwhile your minimum investment for tram includes at the very least a not inexpensive track installation.
Don't get me wrong. If you have the passenger volume that investment definitely pays off. But I don't like this unnecessary competition between two modes of transport that can be very complimentary to each other and are both better than individual cars.

Humanity has a long tradition of lightening the mood in dark situations with (sometimes inappropriate) humor. Internet memes are simply one of the newer iterations...
Ich hab kein Problem damit. Im Gegenteil, ich finds lustig wie die, die am lautesten palavern wie die männliche Form andere Geschlechter auch miteinbezieht und "die" sich nicht so anstellen sollen nun die gleichen sind, die mit Schaum vorm Mund klagen wie das anders rum aber GAR nicht geht.
Ein gegenderter Begriff ist offensichtlich DOCH nicht so inklusive wie ich mir das all die Jahre hab sagen lassen...
So wie ich das sehe bin ich 40 Jahre lang hauptsächlich mit "generischem" Maskilinum angesprochen worden. Von mir aus können wir gerne 40 Jahre lang ein "generisches" Femininum verwenden. Bis dann sind wahrscheinlich die auch meisten Fossile ausm politischen Diskurs "herausgealtert".
Ich bin gerade mit Discovery Staffel 3 fertiggeworden und OMG war das eine dämliche Story! Benehmen sich alle wie 14 jährige!
::: spoiler Spoiler zu Discovery 3
Immerhin ist Witcher 3 bis jetzt (Folge 4) eine solide Leistung.
