From my secret Santa on BGG I received Merchants and Marauders, the Space Alert expansion and the San Juan expansions. Really excited about Merchants and Marauders and the San Juan expansions and will try them out heavily in the break between Christmas and New Year.

Excellent choice! Top Race is so good, I've considered several times selling my other racing games. If I want to race, I'm usually gonna grab Top Race. So much variety and fun in that box, man.

I didn't buy it, but USAopoly sent me a copy of the Metal Gear Solid Risk. It looks good, but probably not worth it unless you're a MGS nut. Fortunately, I am. Everybody plays as one of the PMCs from MGS4 and you have a "boss" unit. It's got Beauty & the Beast Corps (YES!), Vamp, Rat Patrol, Snake, etc. Pieces are soldiers and Geckos. There's an Outer Heaven mini that's a mobile territory and you can fight on it. Drebbin sells you cards, and there is in fact a cardboard box that lets you perform a stealth takedown...on an entire region.

Best card- The Konami code. Puts 10 units in any region.

I finally picked up a copy of Escape from Colditz

Please tell me you are joking about that SAG? RGG and EfC? That is the worst pairing since....since....nope that would be the worst pairing ever.

No, I'm just kidding.

I keep spotting my old copy of Escape from Colditz on top of some bookshelves in my parents house whenever I visit. I mean to grab it some day, but it requires a ladder to reach so I can never be bothered.

That's awesome.

I don't even like Risk and I pre-ordered the limited edition - love Yoji Shinkawa's artwork for MGS. It's waiting for me at home, along with all the other crap I've ordered while I've been gone...my wife must be making a fort out of packages by now.
