Kickstarter delivery season knocked on my door with one full and one partial delivery of 4 different games and 2 expansions.
Behold the stack of boxes
On top is Food Chain Island–no relation to any Splotter game whatsoever–which I ordered with the Death Valley Kickstarter and the other three is the trio of Oink Games that was stuck in customs for 2 or 3 weeks. I already played FCI 3 times (!) and peeked a sneak into the three oink games and I think I want to eat the components.

I got the new Teotihuacan expansion (aka the ‘not-too-sure-how-many-print-runs-this-will-get’ 
purchase)

Snap! My main concern is having previously bought an organiser that might be redundant

I’m on a ‘I don’t need to buy a game’ mantra. I’ve got three on preorder but then Stephenson’s Rocket is going OOP…

Keep in mind that it’s medium weight like Tigers & Pots. Not your typical Knizian elegance.

Good to see board game publishers are finally getting past all those worthless opinions and getting to some facts.

Just went through the boxes for League of Six and China. League is very slightly worn, you can tell the cards have been handled a bit, but otherwise it is in great condition. China is like new, other than the box is a little worn. Haven’t dug out Mai-Star yet, but I will get there.

We did specifically go on the specially marked 50% off day.
Thing about consignment sales, the days to go are the first day -selection, and the last admittedly we didn’t go the first day, mostly to space.

Setting up the game is a bit of a chore, but it practically packs itself away when you’re done!
Bonus sheep:

Despite playing fairly few boardgames these days I have just taken delivery of this SPI solitaire classic, where you play a US soldier in Vietnam who gets stoned, starts tinkering with the radio he modified and find himself travelling through time to confront dinosaurs, Romans and so forth. You know, standard military simulation stuff.

Are there any mechanics for the drug use, or is it purely narrative?

So, after playing it several times, I’ve bought it…

Narrative only, I believe. They say he immediately sobers up when he realises what’s happened, making it clear that it’s not supposed to be taken that he was simply hallucinating. Spoilsports.

I’ve noticed wargames include a very sparse number of instances where you find 2 or more of: dinosaurs, romans and assault rifles
