Well, two boxes arrived today. One full of my last order that includes some gifts, and the other a couple of pre-orders.
Last order: Seastead 2-player game in the same world as Flotilla… because?! . Received a solid response from SVWAG, and I’ve been looking for more short 2 player games that are not direct conflict/duelling.
The Game - quick little game to play with the family when we can get together.
Infinity Gauntlet: a Love Letter game - again, heard good things and it’s a fun little package to play with the family. Will likely be a stocking stuffer for my son.
Also in the order; expansions for both Warhammer Underworlds and Warhammer AoS: WarCry (the latter will be a bday gift, just wanted to grab it now), and 2 more Exit games.
My son wanted to give his mom some escape room games for them to play together. We decided.on a 3 pack on Unlocked for her bday, and 3 Exit games for Christmas. Gives them a taste of both, to see which they prefer.
Pre-order box: Rococo Deluxe+ - been getting more excited for this the more I hear. Really like the deck building/hand management idea, plus it’s absolutely gorgeous!!! Probably won’t hit the table until after the holidays though.
Fleet: the Dice Game - grabbed this at the same time. Picked this up mostly on reputation, and looking for more games that can hit the table on a weeknight.
That’s it for now, probably until after the holidays. Though I’m sure I’ll make up for it, lol.
I think it just depends on whether you’re counting duplicates. A store will sometimes have more copies of a game than @pillbox does. (Unless we’re talking about Roads and Boats, obviously.)
I show off the maps to my partner and he’s like “oh no, not another area control game, don’t you have enough of those?” No, I don’t… I don’t have enough people to play them with.
My Kickstarter pledge for GPS, Mountain Goats, Sequoia, and the expansions for each arrived first thing this morning (it was fulfilled out of a warehouse about 15 miles away).
Unfortunately, instead of the add-on Bites that I ordered, I just got another set of the 3 games w/expansion
I just can’t get over how small these boxes are. I really expected each to come in a their TtR:NY/London or Red November or Whitehall Mystery sized box…
Ticket to Ride: Europe for scale. One of my free-range copies of Roads & Boats photobombed
I threw that on my Christmas list, but don’t know if it’ll happen or not. I’m really intrigued by the game as I love deductive puzzles, but I’m not sure anyone else I associate with really does, so even if I do get the game, it may be a solo only experience.
It’s preorder arrival day, plus recent order…
I finally got CloudAge!
and Hallertau, Renature and as debated elsewhere: Teotihuacan.
I musst confess… this brings me up to a horrifying average of ~1 game / week entering my collection for 2020. Well, I didn’t spend money on trips, clothing, restaurants, parties, going out, movies… and everything I saved turned into a boardgame this year. My way of dealing with the world I guess.

No, I don’t… I don’t have enough people to play them with.
