Went to a game night at the local game store last night, and traded a few things in that I wasn't playing/using to get a copy of Galaxy Trucker for just over fifty bucks. Brand new, in shrink - this place sells games for 30% off MSRP, which for this game was over seventy dollars (can't remember the exact price). My daughter and I love playing the app for this game so I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Also, the publisher for Defenders of the Last Stand got back to me - they're sending me a review copy of the game! Woot!  :bd: Reviews, AARs, and stuff to come soon.

Smartass.  :P

Though I certainly deserve it for D-Day.

Nice surprise waiting for me today!

NO!!!!!!!  I'm so jealous.  :)

Got in a game of 'Fields of Despair' with a buddy last night. Great game with some neat mechanics. Fairly easy to pick up, but has plenty of nuance.

Those blocks have awfully square corners.  How could you muster the courage to play with such offense on the table?  :)

Notice the counters were trimmed though. And not be me!

Looks cool. Did you get a whole game finished or just a few turns?

Just a few turns. It has a tutorial scenario that we played. We're going to try again next week.

I dig the deluxe size of those hexes. Nice looking game.

The game requires the large hex sizes to accommodate all the blocks and maintain the FoW element. It is a very well put together game. They even thought to include a couple of drawstring bags to serve as 'opaque containers' for the random counter draws.
