The NEW New Boardgames Thread

That definitely sounds interesting Habs.  If it's the kind of card management game like Hell of Stalingrad, where you can play 4-5 drops in an evening, I can get with that.

Stickering blocks for Sekigahara from GMT right now.  Game seems neat and the rules are very short.  Lots of good reviews pouring out, too.  Probably going to get a game in of it this weekend.

Hey, CdM, check it out.  I got the maps for Total War in the mail earlier this week.  They offered an extra set of unfolded maps in addition to the folded ones that will be in the game box.  The maps came back from the printers (some of the other components aren't yet), so they went ahead and sent the unfolded maps.

I was going to take a pic and post it here, but I've misplaced my digital camera, and I tried to take a polariod  and scan it, and the dang isn't working.

I've been keeping an eye on their developments over at CSW;  somebody took a pic of them all put out.  I'll believe the existence of the rest of the product when I see it.

Good to see independent verification from a trusted source, though.

Played Betrayal At House On The Hill. We had a blast. Simple basic rules with 50 different scenarios.

GMT is doing its annual November sale.

I'd mention Avalanche's too, but nobody else here likes them.

IIRC I have got Labyrinth from a P500 pre-order so I am eligible for two(2) 50% discounts.

What 2 games should be it?

Sadly, the only new GMT game I've gotten to try is Infidel, and both games were prematurely aborted.

Not only do they make bad games, but they're crooks, too.

If you're at all interested in Southern folklore and shit check out Hoodoo Blues, an RPG available (pdf) for 5 bucks. Pretty damn nice.

I brought back Android, Blockade Runner and Pitch Car from Spiel in Essen.

Oh, and also Eclipse, which after one play seems to be absolutely amazing. The rules click very elegantly and the epic feeling is definitely there. Very happy that I managed to snatch up a copy by when the unclaimed pre-orders were released...

Eclipse looks interesting. What was your playing time?

I have just used my 50% GMT discount to order Spanish Civil War, and No Retreat.

Eclipse looks interesting. What was your playing time?

Three man game about 3.5 hours - plus 30 minutes of rules explanation. I'd say that 2 hours for a three man game is probably  realistic.

Interesting.
