What board games are you BUYING?

Cool! I've got 7 figures painted so far and 10 more primed and waiting. I can't wait to play more of this one. The production value is fantastic, barring the regrettable sculpt of Gretel (tiny head).

I remembered that I was moving when the Pax Pamir pre-order started, so I had ignored it.

Bought one and the double-sided Pax [Pamir|Porfiriana] board. I like my small-box Porfiriana just fine, so I'm not stumping for the deluxe edition. Someday they'll arrive with a weird German post address and I'll be happy.

Now I'm wondering if I need a Horned Rat expansion, even though I've never played my copy of CitOW. Damn you Sax!

(but I did put a Mark of Khorne in a slide deck for a talk at work today. Demos for the Demo God! Errors for his Throne!)

I hear you, Not Sure, re: Pax. I'm fine with my low rent original version but I would like that board for it.

So many games I own that I have to get back to playing, that is definitely one of them. It is just too complicated and aggressive for the local folks I play with.

Since I really wanted Pax Pamir (the theme is perfect for me) it was a no-brainer to add the board into the order. I don't know if I'd order it separately.

If anything, I understand it's pretty important for Pax Pamir to keep the areas straight, so the fact that it's Porfiriana on the other side is just a freebie.

I just picked up Sons of Anarchy: Men of Mayhem on clearance at Target for $15.20. I just couldn't resist the price.

It's fun. It's not the best, but it's fun. I ended up dumping a copy I had in the skip, keeping the bits for prototyping.

This is THE best day ever.

OUT: Shadows of Margath, Walkers in the Wild (Runebound Expansions) and Urbanization. IN: THUNDER ROAD. Pristine, no less.

This is why I pray. They get answered, sometimes.

Finally caved in an bought X-Wing. My six-year old chipped in and I'm hoping that we can have fun playing it together - even without spending a ton of money. We tried Wings of War (Famous Aces, just cards) and she seemed to grasp it. But the minis and card board tokens look to be easier to use so I have high hopes that I can satisfy my need for Star Wars games with her.

However, the box had only been open for about three minutes before her brother (aged 3) managed to snap one of the plastic pegs off one of the ties. Well, I guess I needed to buy some glue anyways ...

I was at Target, and they had a bunch of Loopin' Chewie. It looked pretty stupid. I've never played Loopin' Louie. But I make stupid decisions all the time and bought it anyway. The thing about stupid decisions is often I make one and it sets me on a path that I know is awful, but instead of changing directions I just keep the stupid decision snowball rolling straight ahead. So I had a couple beers and put all the stickers on Loopin' Chewie. Then we played it.

And it was stupid. And I had a complete blast, and I really want to know how something like this wasn't a part of my childhood. First thing in the morning I'm going to figure out how to do some kind of tournament bracket for a 3-player game. Because all great games of skill require tournament brackets.

Snowball.

Put in a pre-order order with CSI, which was also a Portalpalooza. Coming to me in the fullness of time will be Tides of Time, Imperial Settlers - Atlanteans, Rattle Battle, and the Mississippi army for Neuroshima Hex. Only reason the Theseus Hunters faction isn't there is because it's due in November rather than October for the others. In non-Portal buys I ordered Codenames and the third expansion map for Steam.

Then a friend of mine did a CSI order and I threw in for the Afterlife stand-alone expansion for Valley of the Kings and Medina, which I've been wanting for some time.
