Check feedback, if there's no feedback check how long the seller has been a member. If it's an old listing message the seller to see if it's still available. Message the seller for pictures or details if you feel it's warranted. Nothing crazy just your standard vetting process.

aaand they sent the ACD promo sheet for Ogre instead. and I'm not the only one they did this too. Why would you do this? and its through google express, so refunds are easy.

Also a local place had some games on clearance so I grabbed Space Base for $10. Seemed solid. They had Duhr: The Lower Houses for $10 also but I don't know that it's a game I could get played.

I really shouldn't - not like I don't have enough games - but that's a hard recommendation to ignore.

The game being produced by Matagot is no small consideration of pedigree either, as I've rarely meet a Matagot title I didn't enjoy, let alone adore.
I usually play dungeon master roles in games, so being able to tweak the outcome a bit when it comes to the kids is a good thing in my book. But I recognize how unpopular dungeon master type roles are in games nowadays, so it would be a hard sell outside of the family unit, I imagine. I'd likely never recommend this as a pick up game with strangers.

Thankfully I felt better in the morning and didn't do it.
I've done a bang-up job of almost buying things and not doing it because I already have too many games of late. Treasure Island. Quacks of Quedlinburg, and Shadows over Hammerhal all almost got bought over the last few days.

I got it home and realized it was exactly the game I wanted these days. The right level of depth, without tons of rules, nicely produced but not opulent. It feels almost old fashioned to see a game that isn't stretch goals out the wazoo. Really looking forward to revisiting it, I've been hankering for a long time.
I also picked up a game called Pawikan Patrol. It's a Filipino design where the players rescue sea turtles from poachers. (Pawikan is Tagalog for sea turtle.) No idea if it's any good, but I am excited to get a game I can't get anywhere else.

I bought German Railways for 15€ a couple weeks ago. It's a fantastic, fun game. Like other Winsome games, it's incredibly opaque. The core idea of the game is "How can you win when winning deprives you of turns?"
