What board games are you BUYING?

I picked up BBTM with both expansions for pretty cheap locally. The entire Blood Bowl concept is fantastic; how did GW just sit on it for so many years?!

I found a copy of Loopin Chewie today at goodwill for $4, still sealed.

And another game from Unique called 'Arch Rivals'. An early 90's dexterity game. I've never heard of it before now.

There was also a sealed German version of Kerplunk at GW, I nearly got it just for the novelty.

Minneapolis is weird. There are a lot of boardgames here who actually seek out odd foreign versions of games, because you frequently see these collections in estate sales, second hand market, and bgg.

The kids love both of these games.

Side thrifting note, if you or someone you know likes Disney infinity, I recommend hitting up gw. Since Disney canceled the game, the shit has been firesaled everywhere and tons of new product line gw shelves. Good creative stuff here. Recommended.

I picked up Broom Service as I said that I might. We played it twice a couple days later, once with two, and then a second time with the 6-year-old. They both really liked it, although we only played 3 (out of 7) rounds with the kid.

If you're looking for a fun little german style family game to play around this time of year, I highly recommend it.

New gf's birthday this week. She used to play boardgames a bunch so I was thinking of buying her Pandemic Legacy Season 1 cuz I've never played it and maybe it'll be something fun to do together.

She's also never seen any of the Alien movies so based on White's awesome Cinemadome, I think I'll also buy her Alien on Blu-ray.

At this point I might as well buy her a bowling ball custom fit to my hand with my name on it.

Don't worry I'm taking her out for a super special romantic dinner too. Some new cool sounding place...

It'll be the first board game I've bought in years. Back on the horse, bay-bee!

I know the feeling, other than arena of the Planeswalkers (which I don't count since it's a lifestyle game, like all miniature games that get supplemented, I haven't bought a board game in a couple years since mad king Ludwig.

Then I buy three in as many days. I really need to untie the belt from my arm and set the spoon down.

Legacy Season 1 might be better if you play two characters apiece, but I don't actually know. It was great with four characters, though. Lots of rules to keep track of towards the end, but really fun.

If she digs Alien, there's always Legendary Encounters: Alien, which is a full co-op. Its main flaw is that you can occasionally get facehugged in the first five minutes with no hope of killing it, which means that you're permanently eliminated from the game. Best to restart at that point. Seems like some folks on F:AT were trying to unload it for a while, but I could be misremembering. Buying the game was also a good excuse to rewatch all four movies (4 scenarios in the game, one per movie), except that the 3rd movie wasn't worth watching the first time and I forgot.

The missus and I played the entire campaign with two characters each, and I'd recommend that. You're probably going to find it much harder with just two.

I bought two copies of X-Wing Force Awakens starter sets from that Gamestop deal ($25 for both) which I am not going to open, on account of Armada. I'm hoping I can take them over to England some time as gifts for the nephews. I think they'd be able to have a bunch of fun with just those boxes.

My wife went to a game store and bought her first board game. I'm the one that normally chooses what is bought and our collection does reflect what I find cool and interesting. She picked up Above and Below. I hadnot seen anything about it, but a couple brief review were positive. I'm looking forward to playing it.

I picked up Hit Z Road.

I'll probably buy the DeathZone BB supplement the week it drops. I have so many boards and teams, I'm not that interested in the base game, but may get it without the minis on ebay for like $20.

I just sold some games locally for making some purchases.

I just order Star Trek: Ascendancy. Waffling on getting Gorechosen (likely I will fail my will save). Keeping some $$$ aside for all BB stuff, I'm all in.
Also with the exchange rate right now, I'm gonna finally order a small army of Copplestone figures and get it shipped over with the Saga: C & C rulebook.

Bought the Codex expansion factions. Loving this game.

Charlest, prompted by your posts, I looked around for Codex, . It looks very, very interesting. And expensive. It definitely warrants an in-depth review.

I ordered A Most Dangerous Time from someone on the geekmarket in NC, and it looked good for delivery until just now:

I really hope that's a tracking website glitch, or else they re-routed my package to Dekalb County, IL :o
The click-n-ship email had the correct zip code down even to the four digits, so here's hoping.

Also! There's a Queen Games sale on Amazon, so I ordered Paris Connection for a shade under $20. Money well burnt.

Comancheria just charged, the new GMT first nation game from Joel Toppen. I liked Navajo Wars but didn't love it. It was a little too procedural. Still its subject matter and perspective was fascinating so I'm keeping it. I'm very interested to see what he does with the Comanche; they have a much more direct, military style long-run conflict with the Texans and US army. Also, I live in the heart of what used to be Comanche country (well, a bit south of it maybe, but only a bit).
