I was wondering about it myself when we saw it at the store. Some of my top priorities at the moment are: Pandemic Legacy (because the original and other expansions are so amazing, and this looks somehow better), Power Grid (I really want this), Twilight Struggle, TIME Stories, Netrunner, etc. Too many to name.Īlso, has anyone here play the "new" 7 Wonders Duel version of the game (for 2-players only)? I've been really wanting to get it but haven't had a chance to yet. As much as I love games of all types, Annie and I have been trying to specifically find really solid 2-player games for obvious reasons.

There are so many amazing looking games out there that Annie and I haven't even checked out. My family has 7 Wonders, and my brother have played a 2-person variation. But I don't know of this duel version you speak of. That one is good, I've just forgotten about it. You can find a bunch of good, free music apps out there (including Chordify and Ultimate Guitar), but iReal Pro ($14) for Mac, iOS, and Android is my favorite app-and the one I see most other musicians using.My friend who is really into games (she's got about 50+ board games on her shelf) invited me over and taught me how to play it. It provides chord changes for thousands of songs, all with play-along tracks in any tempo, key, or style you choose. A big plus for uke students is that iReal Pro can provide chord fingering diagrams. I like that it’s not particular to any one instrument or any family of instruments, so you can play with other people and everyone can have the same chord chart. To use iReal Pro, download and install the app, and then download free chord charts from the app’s extensive forums. In two minutes you can have the chord changes for 1,350 jazz standards, 400 pop songs, 300 bluegrass tunes, 100 holiday tunes, and more. In the rare case where a tune isn’t on the forums, you can easily copy the chart for another source into iReal Pro. Practicing is more comfortable when you have a decent stand to hold your music. As a side benefit, I find that I practice more when I have a piece of music sitting on the stand, begging to be played. While Manhasset music stands have been the standard for decades, most musicians I play with swear by the Peak SMS-20, which is almost as sturdy but folds for portability. It’s a lot more fun to play the ukulele with other people, whether at a friend’s house or a local ukulele club. To protect your uke during your travels, you need a case. A soft-sided gig bag will work unless you intend to toss your instrument into a car trunk or an airliner’s overhead bin. Many ukes come with a gig bag or case, but if yours doesn’t, you can buy a decent one for around $20. Cloudmusic, for example, makes them in styles both conservative and colorful. Be sure to buy a case that’s sized for your uke, whether it’s soprano, concert, tenor, or baritone. Soprano-sized ukuleles are light enough that you don’t need a strap, but if you perform with a concert, tenor, or baritone uke, you’ll probably want a strap.
