Where do you normally buy from?

NomadicGray · 23-01-2016 10:31pm

Amazon for me, odd times ebay. Got two things in Gamersworld.

I enjoy the show, but my main reason is that Battlestar Galactica is one of my favourite games ever, I'm trying to convince my BSG-loving but board-game hating wife to play it, and I hear that this Homeland game plays with similar mechanics but a lot more stripped down and shorter. Hoping to entice her with this before attempting to bring out BSG again

Picked up a couple since my last post....

Terrible cover that does not do justice to the game.Played it a couple of times last week.Rules are easy to pick up and teach.

It was the shut up and sit down review that brought it to my attention.....

Hope to play this soon.A lot compare it to Waterdeep ,but seems to stand on its own merit and be different enough to own both.

Got a copy of Risk Star Wars The Original Trilogy on ebay today, came in about €45 delivered. Think I was looking at about €80 on amazon and that's the lower end of the price I had seen there for a while.

Bought three games at Warpcon

Builders antiquity. Enjoyable economy game in a small box

Forbidden Island. Just played it with my 12 yo daughter. Enjoyable easy game

Codenames. Haven't played it yet but looks good. Easy rules again.

Just received my copy of Cry Havoc last week.Played a 4 player game the weekend.Top notch IMO .Can't wait to play again.

CatInABox · 17-09-2016 10:00am

Recently got Love Letter, as a kind of game I can always have in the backpack. It seems pretty good, but I'm guessing that it'll come into its own with more players.

NomadicGray · 17-09-2016 5:08pm

With all the FFG/Games workshop **** going down I ordered Forbidden Stars as Ive always liked the look of it. Got CitOW as well due to some popular opinions and the theme semms good, figured if I dont like it ill have no trouble shifting it when stock dries up.

Mollyb60 · 19-09-2016 1:45pm

Played Dead of Winter for the first time last week. Christ almighty that game hates its players! We died with 2 rounds to go and really hadn't a hope of ever winning the game. Loved the moral dilemmas in it though. Similar to Shadows Over Camelot in mechanics. Looking forward to giving it another run out soon.

Greg81 · 19-09-2016 3:19pm

T.I.M.E Stories. Can't wait to play it this weekend.

Ooooh I cannot wait to play this. Just need to convince my husband to buy it. It's a hefty price for a one off game.

Paddy Samurai · 30-09-2016 2:12pm

Got this in the post last week from amazon for €84 .A good price IMO.

Paid a bit more for fury @ €60 in local gameshop. :mad: Should have ordered it sooner, the week before it was €50 on amazon.

Ordered them as soon as I heard WARHAMMER and FFG were splitting up.Prices are now going a bit crazy for these and others in the range.Apparently no more will be printed when stocks run out.:(

Good catch Pad

Bought Elder sign. Played it 3 times.
It's ok. Dicefest.

Pepe LeFrits · 08-11-2016 10:53am

Picked up Splendor and Dominion: Empires there the other day. Have played Splendor a fair few times with a mate and it's pretty good. Haven't had a chance to play Empires yet.

Also picked up the Dominion: Intrigue update pack.

cherryghost · 08-11-2016 10:58am

I've kitted myself out with all the pitchcar extensions, Flick 'em up, Mysterium, Forbidden Desert, Sushi Go! Party and probably some other I can't remember since I last posted here...

Mollyb60 · 08-11-2016 9:17pm

Forgot to bring Catan on holiday with us this weekend so we called into a game shop and picked up Bullfrogs.

Surprisingly good game. Nice little mechanic and lots of strategy involved with more people. We've only played with 2 which was fun, will be interesting to play with 4.

Paddy Samurai · 10-11-2016 2:36pm

Picked up a few since I last posted.......:o:o:o:o

Adrenaline

Gold West

Cry Havoc

Clockwork Wars

Great Western Trail

Zombicide Black Plague

Need to cut back now for a while....................hopefully.

Greg81 · 11-11-2016 12:37pm

I am curious how good The Great Western Trail is? My Friend bought it. Can't wait to play.

This week is my second session in Pandemic Legacy. Amazing game. Very challenging.

How did Time Stories go?

Still in the box unfortunately. Have to find a time for that too.

Mollyb60 · 11-11-2016 8:17pm

Aww! I saw a review of it that kinda put me off buying for it. It might be my special christmas present to myself and the hubby though.

Played my first game on Sunday and liked it big time.I liked it enough to say that I will never turn down a game if offered to play.It was a four player game and I came second last.Game end took me by surprise and happened sooner than I expected.If I had watched turn track closer I would have played last couple turns different .Lots of different ways to get points/win.
Can't wait to play again.

Picked up a few new games over the past while, favorites below:

Through the Ages - new story

Roll for the Galaxy + expansion

Suburbia + expansion

Deception Murder in Hong Kong
(haven't tried this one yet but looking forward to it)

Cosmic Encounter + expansions

JD1763 · 16-12-2016 6:16pm

Picked up Scythe and Invaders from Afar for Christmas - now I'm trying to resist splurging on all the extra promo items from the kickstarter.

Also grabbed Isle of Skye, Feast for Odin, Great Western Trail, Seafall and Dead of Winter Long Night.

Went a little bit nuts

quozl · 22-12-2016 11:39am

Crypts and Things. Swords and Sorcery RPG - think 'Conan' or 'Fafhr' - using 1970s era D&D rules.
