Everyone is going to have different experiences with it ! Personally for me it worked out for the best and I have never been happier ! <| sep |> I filled out the artist survey for ya . Let me know if you have any other questions . <| sep |> What , I ' m here , I ' m awake , what ' s going on ? We picking ? <| sep |> I feel that having the mini ' s add significantly to the experience of this game , but I would love this game without them . You don ' t need the mini ' s to play , and could probably sell them off and end up with basically a free game . Find standee ' s , or little toys , or anything to fill in . You just need a base that ' s the right size and you ' re good . This game is so good I have friends that I play with buying it this round just so if I ever move , they ' ll still be able to play it . They feel their lives would be worse without it , as do I . The hype is real .
