I'm guessing it costs more than the 4 soda cans and piece of plywood that I could use.

If you want to get it played Cranberries, I'm pretty sure it is on TTS and I'd be down to learn. :)

Going to get a $200 Kallax for an upcoming wedding gift. Two close friends from college are getting married in October and I like to do more specific, fun gifts than what is on the registry. I did double-check with them to make sure they would want it just in case. Nearest IKEA is in Columbus, so I might try to find a spot nearby that sells older board games to try and find something obscure and cool, treat myself.

I clicked on an ebay auction, just because it was too cheap to ignore and am now the proud owner of two versions of Junta.
My newly acquired game has never been played. Someone unboxed it, maybe read the rules once and sold it off for a fiver.
The golden age of boardgaming has passed, some people will play games for years now before they encounter one of the great old ones. Well, I have the perfect gift for at least two dudes who will turn 50 soon.

My favorite game store in Columbus is the Guard Tower.

I see that it has two locations. Any major differences or preferences? Also, what makes that store your favorite? I see Columbus has a few there.

The one on Trabue road is the original and my preferred store. I like it because it has a ton of stuff, prices are usually pretty decent, and there are store cats.

A friend of mine had one and I have to say, it was really convenient. The top was plexiglass, supports were carved cedar. (Not that there's anything wrong with soda cans and plywood.)

But it was great: keeps the game away from potential spills, or for RPGs, keeps minis and battle maps up while your character sheet is underneath. It's a very easy way to increase the effective surface area for gaming without needing a bigger table.

Not worth paying a premium for it, but I strongly endorse the concept.

I had been wondering what the point was so thanks for that.

I ordered Thunder Road on a whim a couple of weeks back when Restoration sold their leftover stock. I didn’t need this game, but it looks like it will be lots of fun.

I also picked up Star Trek Away Missions, which also seems like it will be fun. I am trying to tame the spending, but told myself I would get it if my flgs had it. I like supporting the guy, he’s a friend and is in his 44th year of business (likely his last). He had it, so I got it and the expansions.

I caved and bought Earth Reborn. I've been reading through Charlie's reviews during slow periods at work and his love for this is infectious. I also want something that's more pure Ameritrash without it being a full-blown miniatures game. Plus, it is shockingly cheap for the amount of stuff! No expansions also helps me justify this as a not another money pit. It comes in Tuesday, can't wait!

One day, I might have to get Cave Evil, Cryptid Explorers, or even Core Space because of Charlie. So this will be the test to see how I feel about some of these games.
