Boardgaming in 2019!

Any chance of getting a copy of those?

Hmmm, I’ve had a copy of Dragon Pass in my collection for decades and i don’t think I ever even looked at it closely. It sounds like time to remedy that.

Yes it is.

New this week:





I look forward to Tom’s review of Lo♥e Battle! High School.

Really wish I could get excited about Outer Rim…but it just looks so ‘meh’. 🙁

Forgot to mention I’m also getting this:

Not new, but new to my store and a super crunchy space game to boot. I’m excited to try it.

Way to bury the lead!

I like the game quite a bit. I want the outer planets and station expansions but I don’t want to have to get in their manufacturing queue of doom with no idea when I’ll actually get the products.

I want that Leaving Earth box cover as a large poster.

I have all 3, but I’ve been unable to get them to the table for quite awhile and they’re just gathering dust on my shelf. I might be willing to part with them…

We finally got Blood Rage to the table. Enjoyed it. Reminded me a lot of Cyclades.

I just picked up Star Wars: Outer Rim and unboxed it. Looks good so far. Going to see if I can get it on the table tonight. Nice components, fairly clear rulebook. Overall vibe is a streamlined version of Firefly (streamlined as in more elegant/less fiddly, not simplistic) with a fairly strong Star Wars theme. One thing I like: they didn’t offer us B list dregs from the Star Wars Canon with the good stuff to buy separately The game I bought comes straight off with Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, Boba Fett, Jyn Orso, the Millenium Falcon, etc.

lede!

You know, there is such a thing as the secondary market…

And, if the copy I’m currently selling is anything to go buy, it’s going to be very highly priced.

I think the designer needs to stop using his workplace’s printing press and get an actual factory to produce this stuff.

Very keen to hear your thoughts after you’ve played a game.

I love Star Wars and am a fan of many of FFG’s products so it feels like this should be right in my wheelhouse, but the playthrough they did on their stream didn’t really grab me.

Please do tell us your thoughts.

Because my interest level is high. But I’m an looks at 70 ship strong X-wing collection easy sell for this one

I found the “how to play” videos on bgg not that inspiring, but the game looks good.

OOOH. Easy Sell! The game comes with X-wing compatible dice, like so:

When I unboxed it in the store and had the dice on the table, X-Wing players were coming up to me “Hey where did you get those?”

We know, believe me we know.

(Special dice are one of the more coveted prizes from official tournaments and such)

Actually arrived yesterday.

I’m tired of COIN, though. The gimmick has played itself out.
