If you like forbidden island, have you heard of pandemic legacy?

I've heard of it, but my wife and I have a very tight premium on free time, so it's tough to pick up new games. This one is next on the list.

Where do you purchase your games?

Depends on how much you wanna support a local business, their prices won't beat online stores but if you already use a place for comic books or something they may be willing to cut you a deal. If a game is sold on amazon, it's probably a decent price.

The best prices I have found are through a few of the online retailers. Cool stuff inc. is the one that I use:

CoolStuffInc.com online retailer of board games, mtg and many other collectible card games

If you spend $100 shipping is free, and their prices beat amazon every time. $100 seems like a lot, but a good game (unless it's a small card game) is almost halfway there towards $100 anyway.

I used to play a lot of bookshelf games like
King maker, squad leader, victory in the pacific , diplomacy, civilization, just to name a few. I have them all packed away now. No longer know anyone that likes strategic games like these.

I have unpunched versions of Civilization and Kingmaker and Dune on my shelf right now -- I bought them to replace mine after Katrina (man I lost a lot of board games to Katrina) and haven't played one of them since relocating to Georgia. My bookshelf used to look like an Avalon Hill catalog.

Oh man, that stinks.

I've always wanted to play Dune.

Dune was a lot of fun -- had a group of guys who played games in High School, mostly AH games like Dune, all nighters of Civilization, Amoeba Wars, Richthofen's War, Diplomacy, Kingmaker, Speed Circuit, Ogre/GEV, Wooden Ships & Iron Men, etc. I liked Civ and Kingmaker the most, and created a lame turn-based text computer game based on Speed Circuit on a TRS-80 Model III when I first started programming in high school.

I had a bookshelf full of the games so I know what you mean. Civilization is a long game but I loved playing it. I played Dune one time 30 years ago I do not remember much about it. What part of Ga. do you live.

International tabletop day just passed, checking to see if anyone had a chance to play anything interesting.

I played a game that just got reprinted, Tigris and Euphrates.
