What BOARD GAMES are you TRADING?

rude!

It's Friday.

Out: Glory to Rome

In: Earth Reborn

My last play of GtR confirmed it was the sort of game I admire more than I enjoy. Furthermore I have spent nearly a decade coming close to pulling the trigger on Earth Reborn, and now that I get two player games played more I am ready to finally welcome it to the shelf.

What a weird trade!

Yeah, it's the result from a math trade being held here in Manila. I feel like I'm still winning, even though Earth Reborn is a much more common game.

Hell yeah Nate.

Out: Gaia Project, Quadropolis
In: Mage Knight+expansions, Duel of Ages 2

Edit: a random bgg person offered this trade to me, and I'm about it.

Trying to get in: Lords of Hellas
Out: My offer was pretty much anything on my "might be willing to trade list" and probably two or three of those.
Do I need another DOAM? Probably not but that won't stop me from trying.

Been looking at that one ever since Charlie was raving about it last year. Still haven't pulled the trigger because, yeah, too many DoaMs already (and few people to play them with.)

I'm still raving about it, just not as loudly I suppose because it's not as new and other voices have chimed in praising it. The expansion is on the boat and I'm seriously looking forward to it. Game doesn't need an expansion in the slightest, but it's always enjoyable to interact with stuff you dig in new and interesting ways.

1974 Philadelphia Flyers theme.

Just point of order here. If I put a game up for trade in this thread, would anyone that's interested notice it? I still have games to find a home for and am not getting a lot of action on BGG, where alas, the feature has kind of waned now that people only want to purchase games that were published after 2020.

I've seen people have success with sales/trades here before, why not?

La la la la la la la la - I can't hear you or remember your words two seconds after reading them - La la la la la la la!

Success! In: Lord's of hellas+terrian
Out: shogun big box
Honestly, I never used the expansions. I'll replace it with the base game or wallenstein down the road... before Thanksgiving.

Out: El Grande Big Box
In: El Grande Original

At Conn Con there was an auction for an original English El Grande plus a few other things. I bid, only wanting El Grande. I had the Big Box but 1) it's cheaper, less good production -- meeples instead of cubes, flimsy tower 2) I will never play with the expansion 3) Even with the expansion junk the box was way too big, designed for shelf presence

My pal Ron knew the people who won the auction and brokered a trade of my Big Box for the regular version. They were amenable and now we're both happy.
