Love Letter is good. Very clever for what it is.

Was that munchkin card game we played before?

If you mean our one, that was Munchkin Axe Cop.
There are quite a few different versions of Munchkin!

It was my birthday yesterday and got a bit of a haul

Can't really say I bought them, but I did go to Gamers World and paid for them (then got the money back off the family.)

Parents got me Level 7: Omega Protocol and Pandemic: In the Lab.

My brother & nephews got me King of Tokyo and the expansions. I'm going to use that to get them into gaming when they're older and he'll be paying for it (he's not into games)

For Christmas I'm dropping hints to him about Takenoko and Flashpoint: Fire Rescue

Muahahahahahaha

So got Dungeon Roll. It's quick, it's smart, some would say charming. It's kind of like Munchkin in a box but with dice instead of cards. Nice filler game.

oeb

I suspect buying android:netrunner may have been a horrible mistake.

I ordered three of the expansions yesterday :-/

I just Kickstarted a game called BrewCrafters for $75, gonna get here in July. Kind of looks like Agricola except for a brewery to me.

It's €36 in Gamers World. The cheapest I've seen it for is about €28 on amazon.co.uk (£22.52). However, you'll have to get something else to avail of super saver delivery or else pay the postage.

Picked up Saboteur last night. 3-10 players: just what my group needs!

osh

Decided to get The Resistance: Avalon. Never played the original Resistance but all reviews say the're both great games




Also picked up the King of Tokyo expansion as the base game is great fun and it was cheap enough




I was thinking of buying either Battlestar Galactica or Shadows over Camelot aswell. Still not sure which would be the better buy though. Anyone played both games?

Powerup is good in that it actually matters which monster you pick now, and that hearts are more useful, it's fun.

Reading about resistance avalon before it looks really good, better than the original imo, although I haven't played with plot cards enough.

Eh I caved in and bought Dixit. Looks great, some fantastic artwork on the cards. Roll on Saturday!

Battlestar is far better, needs 5 players though. Can be played with 4 in a pinch but definitely not as good.

Shadows over Camelot didn't do it for me, too much downtime (although we did play it with 8 or 9 players) and the traitor mechanic was nowhere near as fun as it is in Battlestar.

richie.c

Was in the US recently and got a bit carried away. Bought the following
Dixit

Munchkin Deluxe

Dead panic

Dominion

Pandemic: On the brink

Forbidden Island

Stratego

Unfortunately the wife made me put them all away until Christmas.
Looking foward to family game night over the holidays

Paddy Samurai

Got a couple days back, played one solo game to get the rules down, first 2 player game tonight:

Mother Duck

Let us know how you got on with Eldtritch... I have Arkham Horror, but it sits on the shelf and never gets played... I always found it a bit fiddly with too many things to keep track of so never got past introductory games with people.

Would love a more streamlined version so Eldritch may be promising!

Played it last night, it's a streamlined version of Arkham alright, they've stripped out most of the worst fiddliness from AH so it's definitely easier to get into, and to actually complete a game.

Took us about 2 hours for the game although we are both experienced gamers and very familiar with AH, I'd count on a bit longer if playing with anyone who wasn't, but the game is on a fairly tight clock - you lose if a Doom Track gets to 0 and that starts advancing faster and faster as the game goes on if you do not close gates, unlike Arkham where it started fast and then slowed down as you sealed gates.

You also lose if the Mythos deck runs out and there are only 18-20 cards in that with one drawn per turn so time is relatively limited. We were about one turn away from victory when we lost so it was close, and certainly fun.

Worth getting.

Avalon.

Played it on Saturday night for the first time with good friends (9 in total). I absolutely loved it.

Will be buying it today alongside Ticket to Ride.

osh

Yeah what a game.

I played it aswell on Saturday for the first time, with 6 players. Amazing game, we planned to play one or two games to try it out and ended up playing it for hours. Everyone loved it.

Didn't buy...but Santa brought me Forbidden Island, Pandemic: On the Brink, and Shadows Over Camelot

Das Kitty

Munchkin and Castle Panic were unwrapped yesterday. Thrilled!

Burning Eclipse

Santa brought many things to my house... some to me, some to my daughter.

Settler's of Catan (have only played a single-player thing on the Xbox before - can't wait to try it)
Catan 5/6 Player Expansion
King of Tokyo (for my daughter, who loves it)
King of Tokyo Power Up!
Android: Netrunner (have played 2 games of this with Sabre, and I think I might be hooked)

Starting to get a nice collection together now.

Santa was very good to me too. He brought me Firefly & Eldritch Horror as well as Opening Moves & Second Thoughts (Netrunner Datapacks).

My brother got me Flashpoint & Takenoko, my nephews got me Smash Up (not that they'd have any interest in it :cool:) and my friend got me Mala Tempora (Netrunner Datapack).

Netrunner is possibly the best game of 2013 for me (only started playing in the Summer) and I'm sure you'll love it

King of Tokyo and Power Up seem to have been popular presents this Christmas, and I too received them as gifts, along side Scoundrels of Skullport. Played it every day so far since.
