Put a cheap bid on a copy of the King is Dead first edition. Forgot all about it, but apparently no one else was interested!

I’m not sure what I was thinking when I bid, I’ve heard some good things about the game but I honestly know nothing about it.

I got 16 trades in my Maths trade. at least I didnt spend money ā€œbuyingā€ them! :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

Fleet the card game, not the dice game. With the Arctic Bounty expansion

Leaving Earth - this one was suppose to go to @EnterTheWyvern but the reruns gave it to me and I lost Mezo :sob::sob::sob: Still, I’m happy about it

Polis - the 2 player War/Euro reimplementation of Polis: Fight for the Hegemony. Totally worth a try if you only play 2 player Euros and dont mind combat.

Jump Drive - another Tom Lehman. I might stick to Race but I’ll give it a shot.

Key Market 2nd ed - Yes! Another Key game in my possession! :smiling_imp:

No. Im not gonna list all 16 :joy:

I got a bigger Blokus

In other news my preorder of Beyond the Sun came in. Now known locally as Beyond the Spreadsheet after someone called it ā€˜The Spreadsheet Game’

Ooh. Where from?

Still looks out of stock everywhere in the UK on boardgame prices

Meeples Corner, it was labelled as sold out on preorders

Possibly means the restock will be more available soon though

Probably a good idea to keep an eye on stockists who often keep some preorder stock back for sale on release day, like Dice & Decks

They haven’t played Leaving Earth. That is an excel game. Beyond the Sun may look as enticing as a spreadsheet but at least you don’t need one to play it.

Spreadsheets? Pah. I do my mission planning with a fountain pen and a notebook.

And Perl programs running on my phone.

Leaving Earth for me is ā€˜Cognitive Overload to the Point of Losing the Ability to Speak’ the Game.

It’s the only game we have from him (base and Hall of Heroes) but we really enjoy it. The box was on sale, and so much nicer to use than the multiple tiny boxes.

I’d like to try some his other games at some point. I think Circadians: First Light is near the top. I’m also intrigued by the follow up, Chaos Order that is more of an area control/troops on a map game.

I do recommend Architects, it is a lot of fun, and well balanced. But started on Raiders and I do enjoy playing it once and again, specially as my daughter loves the art (and specially gathering the female characters)

Father’s Day gifts. Very excited by both (although I bought the book myself!)
