My impression at Expo was that people played it, immediately got what it was about, and thought “I want that”.
Bought the new edition of Calimala from Travelling Man. Since they sell mangas too, I added a couple.
Picked up Star Wars: Battle of Hoth on Friday. Since I had reserved a copy at my FLGS, I should have received the Ion Cannon and Shield Generator mini promos, but they didn’t get their shipment in with the games. But, I should receive a call once they come in and I can go pick them up.
I noticed the box is marked as the “Galactic Battles” series, so this appears to be the first in a planned series. Whether the series is all Star Wars or not remains to be seen. Looking forward to potential Endor expansion though.
I promised a “confession” of my recent arrivals.
This is 2 crowdfunders
- Earthborne Rangers Expansion
- Leviathan Wilds + Expansion
1 Birthday Present from friends:
- Shackleton Base
Therapeutic Consumerism after a stressful workday:
- Underwater Cities
FOMO
- Arnak Collector’s Box
- El Dorado Expansions (the lautapelit edition for the expansions has different card sizes from my German Ravensburger edition of the base game–same vincent dutrait art. major dummies. but the expansions aren’t available at all in German and likely never will be and so i will probably get rid of the German base game and curse Ravensburger with eternal bad card luck)
Opportunistic additions to other packages (“I will save on shipping” excuse)
- Ingenious Travel Solo Puzzle version (this should have been an app but I couldn’t resist)
- Sea Salt Extra Pepper
- Radlands Expansion (I blame the comment on BGG that read “this is how you do a 2nd edition of a game”)
- Ruins
I may have forgotten something.
Ruins is something I want to try. I also want to play Earthbourne Rangers again. A friend bought the whole package and I’m waiting for him to bring them along
These are relatable categories of purchases!
By some miracle the bigger collector’s box fits in the same spot on the shelves that my original Arnak lived in–just so.
Very satisfying.
(drops onto want list)
After nearly clicking “buy” many times over the years and doing all the homework on Incan Gold vs Diamant etc, I finally bought (the previous edition of) Diamant on ebay. Turns out it’s great with 8 players.
Bought some Allplay small games I havent tried: Ruins, Vegas Strip, and Wordsy.
Bought Nature Big Box (which inc all 5 modules) from a friend
Also bought Indonesia from Firestorm Cards. So excite ![]()

Recently got the All The Expansions box for Quest for El Dorado
Now everything matches… I’m done
I bought Magical Athlete directly from CMYK: Magical Athlete | CMYK
Quinns in the video, again, hyping us up. Not sure if I would be as crazy about this as Hot Streak, but still excited
EDIT: the whole thing is 30 quid after I monzo’d it. Pretty good.
I did NOT buy Hot Streak yet, because the release date for the UK has been moved back to 07th November. Sigh!
I love the German for “Hey, That’s My Fish!” is “Hey, Thanks for the Fish!” Lovely tonal shift.
I’m going to guess Kabuto Sumo is to blame.
Hehe it’s like No Thanks is called Schöne Scheisse.
But no the One Piece one
ooops. i’m being forced to take a break from the anime because we haven’t even started s2 of kaiju8 and some other stuff added to the backlog after we binged 250 eps of One Piece recently
Hmmm more games ![]()

- 13 Leaves
- Ukiyo-e
- Bag of Chips
Was going to buy a lot of Marvel Champions packs in Orc’s Nest, but instead bought one pack and got
Bohnanza
instead.
That does sound like a typical Bohnanza turn.
