What board games are you BUYING?

Good fucking god, I guess my first edition is crap now.

The words "upgrade kit" are looming large in my imagination.

EDIT: allegedly all the changes are just for clarity and the game play is identical. I find it hard to believe a game could have FOUR HUNDRED pieces of trivial errata but there you go. Maybe that's what happens when you translate from Polish.

Was there really that much of a problem with clarity on the cards in the first edition, though? I don't remember running into any significant problems.

I hear you. While it was organized by someone with ADHD, I didn't have any problem with the notorious rulebook, either...

My guess would be that they decided to swap a word or two with an icon (or vice versa), which necessitated reprinting all the cards.

Agreed. Any problems I had were fixed by playing it through and using common sense, which is generally what I have to do with nearly every game.

So maybe I should get the first edition at fire sale prices and download the new rules...

.you did WHAT?! Fury of Dracula is one the best games ever made. I fell asleep just trying to pronounce Ginkgopolis.

Hehe. There are at least two, maybe three copies of FoD floating around my usual group and I haven't bought a full-nerd eurogame for a while.

A couple of recent super-of-the-moment purchases, partially motivated by grief.

The GW/FFG thing doesn't really affect me too much, as I'm not really interested in most of those titles. But I did grab BBTM, just in case. It was via Amazon, so I also got Tiny Epic Galaxies to make the free shipping.

CSI had Pandemic: Legacy on sale for $35, so I grabbed a copy, which the group I played through with the first time may re-play. While there I also pre-ordered Terraforming Mars and Codenames: Pictures.

Just received my copy of The Bloody Inn, thanks to the excellent review on this excellent site.
Looking forward to getting it to the table.

^let us know how it is when you play it, start a new thread. I'm interested, I'd love to hear more about it from locals.

And I want to hear about Terraforming Mars when it hits the Streets (and hopefully tables).
