I got stir crazy today, so I ran down the road to Winter Offensive, and grabbed a copy of Where Eagles Dare, and the new ASL Festung Budapest.

Counters stick to you when you roll around them, all sweaty like.

Played the Blood Bowl card game from FFG. It was pretty awesome.

My speculative investment, er, Where Eagles Dare arrived the other day.  Into the pile it goes, waiting for the day when it is out of print and worth double what I paid.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Aren't they all?

Habbaku

No, because I play some of them and that greatly diminishes the value.   :(

I've actually done that on occasion--bought 2 copies of a game, 1 to play and 1 to leave in mint condition as an investment.

So you bought two copies?

Don't plan on playing it, so just bought the one.

Hey Habs, you are big on this Few Acres game right? I am reading the rules. Would you mind handing me my ass in it so I can learn it? :P

Habbaku

No problem, though it isn't really much of a PBEM game.  Still, if you want to give it a swing, just send me a Vassal turn whenever you're comfortable to start.

Habbaku

Never heard of it, so I put you in charge of finding it.  :P
