What BOARD GAMES are you TRADING?

Tower of Babel is a weird game, it's not really auction, there's some bidding but sometimes you just reject all bids and build part of a wonder yourself. It's unique but I don't think it nailed anything it attempted.

Out:
Gammarauders+Factoids
Ogre DE
Viktory II
FortressAmerica+A&A+Risk



In:
SpaceAlert
Mage Knight
Catacombs
Galaxy Trucker

Out:
7 Wonders

In:
The Walking Dead : the board game z-man.

In:
My friend's Attack Wing collection (getting out of the game). I didn't realize just how much he had, so I need to bolster my "out" list...I haven't gone through it yet but somewhere around 30 ships.

Out:
Hybrid with Expansion and Cry Havoc 1-4 plus some extra minis
Eaten By Zombies
Oceania

So I need to find some more stuff to send his way.

OMG Hybrid...haven't heard that brought up in YEARS. Oh, how people cried about how outrageously expensive it was (like $70). Wonk-ass rules, exquisite production. Released today, it would be a million dollar Kickstarter. With wonk-ass rules.

Yeah...It is a Kickstarter game before Kickstarter.

I managed to make it through the rules once and play a game and it really was pretty good and once you got going it made sense. But, all that flavor and atmosphere didn't amount to squat because basically it was an objective based miniatures game based in a dungeon.

Hybrid lived up to its name though because it successfully took the miniatures rules from Confrontation and brought it indoors to look like a dungeon crawl.

Oh...And I did count. It is 31 ships for Attack Wing.

I had never even heard of this game...just checked on BGG to find out what it's about, and one geekbuddy had an enticing comment on it:

Sweet. You make pre-emptive bids and buy each other's die rolls.

Basically, the die-rolling, kiddie version of Intrige.

This is nicely nasty and open ended, as lots of Dorra games are.

Do not play with snooty gamers who will condescend on games with lots of die rolling, and pretty ships.

The best thing about geekbuddy comments is that you NEVER get someone going through an entire rules summary in a comment.

Yes, Tonga Bonga sounds amazing...and it does sound like there's some DNA it shares with Intrige. Folks put up money to buy your die rolls. You roll, and then assign them as you see fit and one of the results is a vomit boy. It's also kind of a race thing where you're trying to visit islands. Can't wait to get it in.

It's funny, when Hybrid came out there really weren't a whole lot of dungeoncrawl games like that. I think Descent had not even come out. It was such a ramshackle mess, I still TRIED to play it. I had a pretty decent-looking set of figures for it (it was back when I was at the store and could while away the day painting) and it actually got me into the Rackham stuff for a while. But yeah, the game was really pretty bad.

King of Tokyo out, Dragonmaster in.

Thunder Alley out (an extra copy I had).
Thunder Road in.

woohoo!!!

OUT: Quarto, Quoidor, Nightfall Coldest War, A Lone Banner
IN: 5 of the Z-Man B-Movie card games, ~1000 LotR ccg card, ~1000 Shadowrun cards

Someone has offered San Quentin Kings and Expansion for Tomb of Ice which I'm likely going to accept. But does anyone have experience shipping to Greece?

Out: Sunrise City & Manoeuvre
In: Carson City

I shipped a set of LPs to Greece once without hassle (besides filling out the customs forms).
