My last crowdfunding game for the season, I believe (unless The Witcher makes it for Christmas, which I doubt), Mind MGMT arrived yesterday to my door. And I believe I am going to need a bigger set of shelvesā¦

I thought the same thing after the Everdell Complete Collection arrived. I mean, it takes up a shelf by itself!

I didnāt even try to shelf that. Itās on its own inside the garage closet.

Ok, not a game, but I bought some 2X2 Kallax shelves second hand. The guy was selling four, I initially bought two, liked the look of them, did some measuring and thought I could fit the other two as well, so went back and got them as well. And a discount for buying four. Yes, it took two trips, but I only have a small car, was always going to be two trips.
Now Iām in my board game room admiring the view, and placing my favourites into the new shelves.

After some DHL package shenanigansā¦ this turned up today:
Already punched and waiting to be put to the table after lunch 
You can guess which one goes first
The other one is going directly to the airy boxes thread.

You know that you are legally required to post your new shelves over on the shelfie thread? 
So that we can admire them, too? (Obviously, not a requirement, but I think I am not the only one who appreciates collection pictures)

No no, youāve unlocked the secret ārearranging boxesā meta-game.

I have told myself that if I ever manage to get my garage cleaned up to the point that the table out there is usable, I am going to reward myself with Mage Knight.
Odds are good I will never own it

So you havenāt done the thing where you buy the game first as motivation to clean the garage? Fair play.

Old purchases, recent arrivals.
Cat in the Box I only heard about a few months ago. I was at a friendās house, saw it on his shelf, and had never heard of it. I thought, oh, great, a game I wonāt have to buy because he has it. Fast forwardā¦
Anyway, Iām generally looking for good trick-takers because it is something my parents understand. The Crew didnāt hit because my Mom didnāt like the pressure of other peopleās success depending on her own competence. Tournament at Avalon didnāt hit because the variable powers were too much to take in.
And Bezier just knocks it out of the park most days.
Planet Unknown I already wrote about, one of the most impulsive buys Iāve had on little more information than ā@Yashima likes it.ā I think it goes back to one day, I was sick, home from work, and I watched Serenity. Iād never seen Firefly, never seen a preview, just heard a few positive comments and knew I liked the genre. I was blown away, and itās such a fun feeling to be blown away by something you know nothing about. Cāmon Planet Unknown, you can do it.
Caesar! Donāt need it. At all. Want it. Six years of Latin does that to you.
Branch & Claw is doubling down on the first game to make me like the co-op model. Because I donāt have to add a line to my spreadsheet or a box to my shelf

It might be good. Or bad. Until you observe it.

Someone who owns it might be kind enough to run a PBF, if thatās a possible sort of thing. (He hinted.)

That sounds eminently doableā¦
The central board and player boards are essentially grids with numbers and colors that would take 5 minutes to emulate on a spreadsheet.
Has anyone thought through the best way to deal out cards from a deck? I could very easily create a randomizer macro and each person would have their own tab with a mutually exclusive hand of cards.
Honor system not to peek at other tabs, as I donāt want to figure out permissioning.

Curiously still not in the UK for a reasonable price
