I may have delegated the actual answering of questions
And writing down the answers
Bringing:
Flamme rouge and expansions (world championships highly likely to include crazy weather and cobbles)
Hive
Patchwork
Panda game whose name I can't remember but will edit this when I am in the other room

Please don’t play Flamme Rouge without me this year! I somehow always seem to miss it
Does anyone have Throw Throw Burrito? That’d be good for some crazy hijinks.

We’ve got the mummy & babies expansion for that, and it adds a nice little uncomplicated extra dimension to play. Also it is very, very cute.
The panda game is amazingly cute.
From my selection on the spreadsheet, here are the main ones I'm definitely packing (other than the obligatory Colt, TTR, and Sonar):
Parks - happy hiking through the seasons. Looks gorgeous! Really looking forward to playing this. Up to 5
The Estates - "be" Donald Trump, invest in unprofitable towers, and screw everyone else. Up to 5
The Manhattan Project - turn cake into bombs. Up to 5
Isle of Skye - build your empire of sheep and whiskey in Bonnie Scotland. Up to 5
Champion of the wild - train your animals and lead them to victory! Up to 8
When I dream - plays up to 10. Are you Team Fairy or Team Bogey?
Metagame - as many as are interested, for as long as we're interested.
Say Anything - goes up to 8. It's Cottage 10, so how well do we know each other after all these years?
Telestrations - goes up to 8. It's Pictionary! It's Chinese Whispers! It's potentially-derogatory game naming! It's rather fun.

Please wash the team shirts this time.
What is the plan for Friday night this year? I fear the drinking game is wearing a bit thin.

Probably safer than our earlier games of "Throw Throw Bowling Ball" too.
Cras and I normally arrive around 1.30ish.
It's Cottage Eve! Yay!

We'll be leaving at around 2pm I imagine, so should be there by 3.30pm 
I see they didn't manage to get the hot tub installed this year - perhaps they've finally invested in a bigger TV.

If my maths is correct, no-one has to share a room this year.
If it's wrong, can I humbly request a room to myself? I've had some mild insomnia lately. It's bad enough trying to get back to sleep in the middle of the night without also worrying I'm disturbing someone else in the room with me!

No, you're in with myself, Cras and a video call with a sleeping The Egg, hooked up to a Google Home Max.
Did you get an Oculus Quest, Gaz? Are you bringing it?
I did, and I was indeed planning on bringing it.
Zeppo also has one, although not 100% sure he's bringing it (or if he's even coming, he's got a horrible cold today so depends how he feels in t'morning - same thing happened last year which is why he wasn't present)

I do trust science, so that settles it! Thanks.
Oh, and my wife has requested I leave my Quest at home, but I'll see if I can talk her around to letting my steal it for the weekend...

Do you actually listen to your wife? I'm not sure my husband listens to me

Do we need two though? Unless there are multiplayer games

On a related note, Mop are you bringing your Xwing stuff on the day you come? If so, I could actually bring mine this time! If not Myp, is anyone else?
I can do, yeah. I’m only staying the Saturday though
What are you bringing? What do I need to bring? I have:
Force Awakens base game
Imperial Aces Expansion
Millennium Falcon Expansion
Most Wanted Expansion.
I still only have what I had last year:
Two base sets (2 x X Wing, 4 x TIE Fighter)
Imperial Aces (2 x TIE Interceptor)
Rebel Aces (A Wing, B Wing)
TIE Bomber
So I would bring what I don’t have.

Enjoy the cottage guys. I'll try and extract some joy from my child-free trip to Majorca with MrsPaz and 10 close friends.
Don't play Granny's Garden without me

There's now sufficient 4G coverage for you to "be" there virtually.
Shame we can't yet cast the call to a suitably sized TV.

Right, Falcon and the scum and villainy it is.
You guys enjoy, I'll be making sure this stays alive.
Nah, come anyway.
Is what the Wookette said that caused all this in the first place.
