Wahey! Wife had an email to let her know that she/we won the Saturday QI Code Treasure Hunt at the UK Games Expo!
Waiting for a response to find out what we've bagged, but the website states "a treasure trove of games".

I keep seeing some really exciting board games on Kickstarter, but just can't justify the severe shipping costs. 
FALLEN, for example, looks exactly like the kind of game that would rock the wife and I's socks off but I just can't consider paying so much when it'll likely hit UK retail eventually for £34.99 or so -- and their shipping price is about $10 less than most others!

No but it is supposed to be one of the best (and oldest) deck building games. I have it on order.

X-Wing!
The enemies line up:
Rebel scum:
Danger asteroids (these are some great third party 'roids)
Mid battle:
Rebels on the run:
Cue the Benny Hill theme tune...I don't think this X-Wing will make it out alive.
Great game. Pricey to get into. Now that Star Trek: Attack Wing is due using the same Flight Path system I feel my wallet will take a hit. Not to mention Wave 3 ships for X-Wing due soon too.

Yep, I have it. Easy to play and easy to learn to good for people who don't play these sorts of games often.

Exactly why I am getting a copy. To play with my mum and dad and their friends. They like card games.
They've played Lords of Waterdeep, Forbidden Desert, Ticket to Ride and enjoyed them but they've not played a deck builder yet. Dominion makes sense. Plus I want it. Seems to be out of stock most places with the expansions even more so.
Is that one of the Gale Force 9 mats?
Agreed, it's a pricey game once you get past the starter set. No more expensive than most wargames though.

Nope, it's from a guy in Spain. Cheaper than the GF9 mats. See here: http://tienda-elregaloideal.es/shop...VegSW5K744hjzwbKS2JRWBE9XcsZ&shop_param=cid=&

Wasn't yesterday when I looked. Cheers.
It's a good game, but has awful box cover art and card art.
