St Patrick, yet another tricktaker

Ok so bear in mind I love the whole R:GT system.
GT5 is the preferred mode of a lot of serious GT players because the boost die adds significantly to the range of things you can do. Itās easy to teach (and this is just like a brake die but for going up gears). But it doesnāt fundamentally change what the game is about.

Welp, just got the Rails to the North expansion for Great Western Trail. With my accumulated store point, I got it for $16 with tax. Looking forward to trying it out!

GT5 is by far the most interesting format. The Boost die adds a ton of tactical flexibility.

I splurged a bit on Railways of the World. So I updated my base game box to the 10th Anniversary edition. And Eagle-Gryphon was having a sale on hard to find expansions I missed out on so I bought Railways of North America - itās Canada, but has rules and components for literally the whole CA + US transcontinental game.
I also bought Railways of Nippon (not the stand alone), Railways of Sweden, and the new Railways of Great Britain to replace my old England and Wales exp. This should complete the collection, until they release yet another map expansion.

In a demonstration of why I shouldnāt go into game shops when Iām bored, I bought Sea Salt and Paper and Cosmoctopus. Iām still undecided whether to keep the latter or gift it to my parents - has anyone played it?

Whoever came up with the name āCosmoctopusā deserves all of the applause!

My FLGS was bought out by a slightly larger chain here a few years ago. Sadly, they just changed their name to the name of the chain, losing their much more appealing name, even if nothing else is changing. However, to celebrate, they are having a 15% off everything sale, plus one of my credit cards which I havenāt used in years changed servicers, so they converted my rewards points to credit. Just under $10.
So, I picked up BOOoop, as a cute and fun-looking Halloween game.

Amazon is having some discounts, so I ordered the TI4 Prophecy of Kings expansion, the Mansions of Madness Sanctum of Twilight expansion, and the re-release of Dune (without the movie artwork). For just a little over $100, it felt like a pretty good deal.

Just spent an absolute fortune on Marvel Champions, include the NeXt Evolution expansion box and Storm and Angel packs.
Looking forward to Deadpool, who breaks the 4th wall and draws on his card to give himself better stats.
