September Acquisitions

My attempts to slow down the number of new games coming in met with mixed success last month – while I still obtained more games for my shelves, I did also clear some space thanks to the flea market at TBGT. And luckily, the order I made on CoolStuffInc during September after winning a giftcard didn’t actually arrive until October 3rd which makes this list look a little better!

TBGT - Flea Market Prep

This Saturday morning at TBGT is the Flea Market, a chance to move out some games that have been sitting unplayed and hopefully snap up a few deals to replace them. I've been meaning to better curate my collection for a while, so these are the games I have that are hopefully destined for somewhere else:

Opened & Unpunched

• Dreaming Spires - $40
• De Vulgari Eloquentia - $25

Opened & Unplayed

• Cubist - $25
• Garden Dice (with Card Expansion  in box) - $25
• Island Fortress (with KS promos) - $20
• Lagoon (with KS wooden pieces) - SOLD
• Rise! - $5
• Skyline - $10
• Tessen (damaged box corners) - $5
• The Fittest - $5
• Tiny Epic Kingdoms - $5

Played - Condition Varies

• Ascension (good condition - 7 promo cards included) - $20
• Fluxx (beat up box - anyone need cards for protypes???) - $2
• Fresco (played once - has expansion modules 1,2, and 3) - $30
• Ingenious (box has shelf wear) - $10
• Oz Fluxx (played once) - $5
• Quiddler - SOLD

First dibs goes to locals & event attendees as I don't really want to deal with shipping. After the event, I may open it up if there's a bunch left over.

I may be adding more games later but we'll see how ruthless I'm prepared to be as I get ready for TBGT.

Racing for Second & Playing Tricks - Monday Gaming Recap

I got to the Atomic Empire earlier than usual as traffic decided to be nice for once, leaving me with time to kill. I hit a nearby drive-thru & grabbed some dinner before heading into the store to eat & pick up my comics. I grabbed a beer (Fullsteam's Summer Basil - so freaking good!) & waited to see who all was going to make it. While waited, I resisted heading to the front of the store where they had a copy of La Granja just sitting there taunting me - I'm trying to save money at the moment, but man was it tempting given that my FLGS sells it for just $6 more than CoolStuff & I could have it right now!

I wants it, the precious...

New Additions to My Game Collection

Between Origins, Kickstarter deliveries & my recent birthday, I've added quite a few titles to my game library since the beginning of June. Here's what's new on my shelves:
