The NEW New Boardgames Thread

Anyway, grumbler, I highly recommend this for you;  it's solitaire and right up your Napoleonic Era alley.  I think you would dig it.

I haven't played Last Night on Earth, I understand it's considered the best one they put out. I have played Touch of Evil, Invasion of Planet Earth and Shadows of Brimstone, and I haven't fallen in love with any.

Its main advantage is that it's fast paced, with simple rules, and cards designed to break/alter the rules. It can lead to some hilarious situations, like the one time two player characters (sheriff and nurse) were holed up in the police station, alternating between shooting at zombies and having sex (the latter being a card that the zombie players can play to make a male/female couple in one spot lose a turn). When they finally got out, they got attacked by the sheriff's son-turned-super-zombie. The sheriff died, while the nurse was saved by the priest who had picked up a chainsaw.

They almost made it to the escape car, but dropped the keys when attacked by zombies. The priest tried to make it back, but they were both overwhelmed by the horde in the end.

Watching the mail trucks drive by is harder each day.  No Legion of Honor, no The Case of the Catalans.

LOL, wait until you read the optional rules on mistresses.

What online stores do you people use? I'm looking for some stuff that will never be stocked in these shores, and I want to check if shipping costs from the US aren't too insane.

[CountDeMoney]

If I'm not ordering from the manufacturer directly, I use www.coolstuffinc.com and www.trollandtoad.com.  Canada has www.sentrybox.com that ships internationally.

And of course, you have several Americans that would be more than happy to help you out with end runs on shipping if necessary.  :spiritofinternationalbrotherhood:

Thanks a lot, I will be checking those.

[Habbaku]

They delivered really late today.   

[CountDeMoney]

Yay!

I shall obtain a copy.

The Case of the Catalans is a fine game, wasn't aware it got airplay outside our turf.

You already won that phase.

GMT partnered up to get a bunch of English versions of it, which is fortunate since my Catalan is awful.

I didn't even know you had a Catalan.

I should water him more.
