What board games are you BUYING?

Had a I been a packer at the place you bought it from, I would have totally shipped myself to play it.

Sekigahara is worth it.

Slow going through my first read through, but it's basically a hex crawl set in Chult, with lots of undead. Cool!

is it like the original but updated for new rules?

Don't know much about it other than you make stained glass windows and that Uba after a flagon of whiskey said she thought it was ok.

My wife enjoys games where you build stuff. A city, a tower, a civilization, or a stained glass window. She enjoys creating much more than tearing down.

I however do enjoy blowing things up at least imaginary things. So while I'd not have bought it for myself I'm hoping it's got enough game in it to at least be interesting and something we both can enjoy.

It has the hate draft thing going for it. Excellent couples game, if you don't mind sleeping on the sofa. (just kidding). Also, where did you get it. It's out of stock every where.

Table Top Shop in Newington. They had a few copies.

I pretty much only buy stuff to pimp out Frostgrave and Gaslands. Kids love them. Friends love them. Everything else I own is a shelf toad right now.

It's different from Tomb of Horrors, which got an updated 5e release last year in Tales From the Yawning Portal. This is much more of a full-fledged adventure that goes from levels 1-11 (so it says on the back).

It does have the same lich running the titular tomb though, which would be Acererac.

I bought a copy of Legend of the Five Rings LCG for my birthday, and I'm not really sure why. I remember seeing some of the L5R CCG storyline tournaments in progress way back when, and thinking it was pretty darn cool. Maybe I had been out in the sun a little too long.

I might be able to beg someone to play it besides my wife. NFW would she pick it for fun, and it would take too much begging on my part to make her play it.

I ordered Fantasy Realms after reading Charlie's review. It sounds fun!

This game is totally underrated and another victim of Wizkids not promoting. One of the most satisfying 10 minute games I've played.
