What board games are you BUYING?

Is that moving in the right direction? I'd rather fuck a thing than have the drizzling shits. Personal preference I guess.

OT: CAMP GRIZZLY expansions. Went all in. They showed up yesterday and look good. Has what I want in expansions these days, which is stuff that seamlessly adds variety without adding rules.

WELCOME TO YOUR PERFECT HOME. A draw-and-write? I think my mom would like it. It's pretty casual, but has some good decisions about when and where to push your luck. The included score pads are so bright/saturated colorwise that it's hard to see your pencil scribblings. Need to be toned down -- not B&W, but light enough not to make playing the game hard.

Picked up Andean Abyss and Fire in the Lake for some COIN goodness. Likely will only make it to the table solo unless I can rope a coworker into a game.

Listen, the right choice here is to save Rogue Agent to use as kindling when the apocalypse happens. Don't fucking play it. Just use it to build a litter box for your now-feral cat.

This makes me mad that I tried to play it once. David Ausloos has some good ideas. Unfortunately, his rulebooks are ten pounds of monkey shit in a five pound bag.

I played it. Something about it doesn't stick the landing but I don't remember it feeling like a dumpster fire...

I've played it, and it's not a dumpster fire. I've DEFINITELY PLAYED WORSE, though.

Oops.

Well while being stuck at home for four weeks with a frakking painful disc/nerve issue in my neck I got very bored and started looking and forgot not to touch so have various games coming in, some from a few BGG trades, most because they were get deals (and I was bored):

Dune (GF9 edition)
Big Trouble in Little China
Lifeform
City of Kings
Gloom of Kilforth
Relic and the Nemesis expansion (because it was available)
Hit Z Road (because it was really cheap and it's fun)

Also thinking about a copy of Nemesis, well I have Alien (Lifeform) so why not a copy of Aliens ... just means I will need to sell off a a few more shelf toads (all my Wings of War stuff disappearing this week)

Big Trouble in Little China is fantastic and it's getting very hard to find.

Besides Hit Z Road (which I haven't played), every single one of those games is very solid. Good list.

I have Nemesis on pre-order. Just waiting for it to ship. Wife's going to love it.

Had to get Dune after I flicked on a nice copy a decade or so ago and then regretted it (but not the cash).
Too many good reviews on BTiLC and Lifeform and got a nice Math Trade and nice price on them.
City of Kings and Gloom of Kilforth are a type of game we like, co-op adventuring (and your reviews helped) and good prices occurred at the same time again.
And Relic was just a good buy for a fun 40K Talisman (the others in the group all do Warhammer, I'm the heretic).
And Hit Z Road is a quick-ish fun zombie themed road trip card game, and for £9 couldn't resist.
Now to get them played .

I'm still working up the courage, I've got a price-matching for £90 and I'm pretty sure I'll never get it on the secondary market in the next 5 years for a semi-decent price ...

But stuck semi-immobile for a month and surfing most of the day is dangerous - also had a 10" tablet and a battery drill arrive .

Western Legends Blame it came from the tabletop.
Windwalker and High Priests Blame Jack wraith and Charlie
Doctor Who 5th/10th 2nd/6th expansions Blame myself
Tiny Epic Galaxies Blame Jack wraith
Sushi Roll late night mostly drunk no brainer game

Trying to hang back and wait for my spirit island and root kickstarters to come in... probably going to go in on Oath by Cole Wehrle and his reprint of John Company so I'm keeping the powder dry for now.

It has been a miserable semester for board games, I'd be an idiot to buy more, it's just be retail therapy. Too much stress

I need to actively not buy games right now. And yet, I've been prowling for a reasonably priced copy of Space Empires 4X...

Charlie is to blame for a lot of my purchases. I hate reading his work.
