Got Between Two Cities and The Captain is Dead. Both take a good number of players which is great for me as I frequently cater for 6 to 7.

I got Roads & Boats and I'm extremely happy but also have no idea how to:
a) Store this thing
b) How many plano boxes I need to bag the hundreds of chits

My wife got me Azul.
My BGG SS got me Azul too. Plus the follow-up game? Summer Pavilion?
My wife also got me the Citadel mold line remover. Of all the over-priced GW hobby tools, this seems to be the most niche. It's nice, but experimenting with it yesterday revealed a breakdown: 30% Citadel tool - 60% Xacto knife.

I played Chronicles of Crime at Trashfest this year and really enjoyed it, so I asked for it for Chrismas...and got it. I was really disappointed.
First, the 3D lens that makes looking at the crime scene so neat doesn't come with the game. We're talking a little plastic thing that clips on to your phone, and it's sold separately. Second, it only comes with four cases.
I imagined my in-laws, who are not gamers, would enjoy it, but there's a tutorial, which isn't a complete case, a three-part case with only the first part on "easy", an easy case which is the one I did at Trashfest, and a medium one. That's it. So my only easy choice for them would have been a partial case or one I already knew the solution to. That's bunk and it pissed me off. This game is probably going on the trade pile right away because I have no patience for this kind of lameness.

Once you start playing GW games, your brain shuts off your centers for mathematical reasoning so you don’t realize how much money you’re spending

I got Sabotage from Fowers Games. It is beautiful. If you aren't familiar with it, it's a team game where the Spy team is trying to disarm the Villain team's weapons, while the Villain team is trying to kill the Spies. The twist is that it is played Battleship/Captain Sonar style, with a divider between the two teams, so you don't know where your opponents are on the board.
Also, what does this mean? Is it a ratio? An equation? A typo?
