Advices for a beginner

I'm new to this hobby and I need to know what the best weather conditions are for training. Last week, the waves were 1.2 meters high with a period of 7 to 8 seconds. They felt quick and small, so I couldn't really catch any of them.

Also, are there any exercises I should start with? Like practicing going straight with the wave first instead of trying to turn?

Thank you!

Clank! catacombs' expansions, Am I doing smt wrong?

Finally got my hands on the underworld expansion for clank! catacombs and i'm super hyped. The cards are crazy and it adds so much to the game but I'm a bit confused on some aspects.

First, I want to say that I still didn't get my copy of lairs and chambers so maybe thats why the experience was weird but let me tell you how it went and you let me know if we were just lucky or the cards are broken.

So what i did first was to mix the new cards with the top 50 deck of catacombs, thinking that they were balanced enough but, we didnt get many dragon attacks during our 3 hours playthrough, we made it out with 8-10 HP, but I'm thinking that the bard card is a bit OP for what it gives. The divining rod tho has only one heal so i think that card is better balanced but still, to not even go bellow 5 hp in 3 hours is a bit too much. I expected the underworld to be more dangerous...

We discovered the underworld and it was fun checking the new tiles but felt like it needs more content, probably because i didnt get lairs and chambers yet. I like that it has more dangerous tunnels + smt to work towards, so def not taking it out of the game, and love the fate cards and the randomness that it gives. Even when i felt that i was too far off, my sister quickly catched up to me, and she could have scored higher if we weren't tired after the 3 and half hours. I won with a score of 270 and 240 for her, which is pretty high.

I'm thinking about putting duplicates (except those with a dragon attack) bellow the dungeon deck and making the bard heal just once. Would that work?

Aside from that, it was a great adventure.

Buying Board Games from Amazon

This is a first for me, especially that bringing them to my country is very expansive, but i want your help answering these three questions:

1- DHL said they need my signature upon arrival, do i need to be there or anyone from the fam can sign and take my package?

2- Are all amazon board games legit? I hope I wasnt dealt a fake copy or a scam...

3- 3 board games arrived but one (clank lairs and chambers) still didnt even get shipped, nor any update from it for 2 weeks, is that normal?

Thank you all

Root...

Am I wrong about this?

I bought it because its one of the most loved games and i also loved the fact that each player plays a different way but i hate that for 2 players u have to play with specific characters (the cat and bird). Is that a problem everyone has? like you wont be having many plays with small number of people, no?

Thank you

Should I burn catan or just sell it?

Its such a good game that i enjoyed playing online (since it doesnt have toxic player base out there) and has so many awesome expansions . But i regret buying this game. It was cool at first, it introduced me to the world of board games but now, its making me hate it because of toxic players. Either family or friends, I always end being targeted and everyone teaming up against me even when I'm loosing. I mean it's fine loosing, but having everyone just sabotaging you just because you know the game better makes me want to burn it. I might just sell this curse to smo else because there is no point in leaving it in my shelf.

I guess its not called friendship ender for no reason. Is there a homebrew rule that fixes this or should i just sell it?
