Snagged waterdeep (just finished playing the first game, lost by ten points after my gf ran out of resources and had the lead so kept knocking the quests I could complete or blocking my agents, so I horded adventruers and gold to boost me in the final tally), also got toxic city mall zombie ode expansion (looks fun), the reaper talisman expansion and elder sign.

I didn't get any games for Christmas but did back Rum'n'Bones

Psymonkee · 27 Dec 2014 at 15:44

Still on the fence about Rum and Bones and I've not long to decide - someone help me!

Back it. Look at all the loot you get. And, you only have to wait til summer to play it.

Go on, do it......

Woogie · 27 Dec 2014 at 19:25

Yeah it has shot up around 100k in the last few days. I just purchased munchkin deluxe edition as well. Can anyone recommend me some good 2 player games, coop preferred

Castle Panic!
Forbidden Desert/Forbidden Island
Pandemic
Elder Sign
Zombicide

I'm sure there's a thread for thus somewhere but I'd agree with the above.

Just increased my Rum'n'Bones pledge to include the expansions and some extras. Mrs Bickaxe encouraged me

6 hours left and they hit another stretch goal this morning and not far off hitting another stretch goal.

Haha, got in from work and whacked $210 on it. I'm weak

Woogie · 29 Dec 2014 at 07:59

I only put $115 on it but think ill increase that by another $80 and get the 2 exclusive add ons.

fergie128 · 29 Dec 2014 at 08:40

Increased my pledge to $180 to get the 2 addons as well!

Woogie · 30 Dec 2014 at 07:42

I looked at Rum and Bones and decided against. It's trading too much on theme and bling, and I'm already having regrets about Xenoshyft.

The Christmas haul was Temporum, Hyperborea, a real copy of Red7 to replace my PnP, and the new expansion for Eldritch Horror. Only EH has yet to hit the table.

(On the down side, I also appear to have got norovirus.

Just been into my local games store and they had 7 copies of Epic Spell Wars. Seems like it might be back in print in the EU.

Awesome news.

Woogie · 6 Jan 2015 at 15:21

Yeah looks to be back on Amazon as well... Time to order that and get shouted at by the misses

Edit: Ordered

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Epic-Spell-...id=1420557627&sr=8-1&keywords=epic+spell+wars

Link for those that are interested. Currently at £16.58 + £3 shipping so not too bad. Although that is coming from the US so delivery is 7-24 days

fergie128 · 6 Jan 2015 at 15:38

Think I will drop by and pick up a copy for myself tomorrow.

That might get me shouted at as well

Muz333 · 6 Jan 2015 at 16:30

Word of warning for anyone that gets Imperial Assault. Prepare for some frustration assembling the lower gun on the AT-ST!

Edit:

Also really excited, having owned it for over a year now unboxed my friends have committed to playing a game of Twilight Imperium with me a week on Saturday!

Got quite a few this christmas.

Two expansions to Settlers of Catan. Only played Knights and Barbarians so far but really enjoying it.
Archipelago - just read the rules on that so far.
Eldritch Horror - not touched it yet
Twilight Struggle - actually this is from last Christmas! Still not taken the time to sit down and figure it out. Started watching a youtube video of how to play and that has helped my understanding of it.

It's too easy just to break out Settlers of Catan as I know how to play rather than start a new game.
