What board games are you BUYING?

Where am I talking shit? It's out on the shelves so I can play it more!

I agree, this is a surprisingly great game! Gorgeous production as well.

I'm just giving you trouble, I took your comment of "to remind me not to buy any more games on a whim" as meaning it didn't live up to expectations.

It took every ounce of restraint not to pick up Escape From Colditz 75th off of Amazon today.

Fuck... Me Want. I just know it will be a beautiful paperweight.

Don't know if this will be a kickstarter or not, but the figures look nice:

I picked it up a while back when Mini Market had it for cheap. It is a very nice paperweight. No regrets in the purchase.

After maintaining pretty well for a few months I ended up with four new games in the last month-ish:

13 Days
Animals on Board
Gorechosen
High Frontier 3rd Ed


All but High Frontier were bought used, so I think I did OK on actual spending. Haven't actually gotten to playing any of them yet but I've got a 3-player High Frontier situation setting up for a couple months from now.

I'm most excited about Gorechosen. Hoping to play that this weekend.

If you have any inclination to get Escape from Colditz, the Osprey 75th anniversary edition is LOVELY. It's really well done, very high class production and they preserved some of the cool idiosyncrasies of the past editions, like the faux Red Cross kits, historical background, and miscellaneous ephemera. The rules are cleaned up but not bowdlerized, and there are some things in place to speed it up a bit. It's still wonk as hell and the POWs always win, but it's still a fun, one of a kind experience. The illustrations are especially nice, Osprey's high standard of depicting military history subjects really shines in this one.

Get it before it's gone...I don't think it will be around for long, it strikes me as something that will suddenly dry up.

That's a great list. Gorechosen is phenomenal. I just broke 13 Days out again last week and had a great time. Animals on Board is my favorite Euro of the past few years.

Rat bastard....

I got it. I figure that worst case I can sell it for what I got it for if I don't play it.
