I'm always going to enable anyone when it comes to board game purchases, especially when I own it already.

The real problem I facing right now is storage space to leave the board setup.  It's a monster board with a ton of game bits.

It's cute that you think you're gonna play it.

I pondered for the longest time whether to buy SWR or Warfighter as something to play with kids. Like they would play with the old folks.

Besides, I haven't had time to play it myself yet either.

I have fondled its bits a few times though. Mmm...

Well my will is crumbling in the face of what is acclaimed to be the best Star Wars strategic level game ever made....Star Wars Rebellion.   Do I need it?  No.  But I have a discount coupon at the FLGS that will knock the price down to amazon levels... How in good conscience can I let such a coupon remain unused?

DO EEEEET

It's a fantastic game.

*cough*  Not that we ever played.....

Yeah, that was the plan.  W8aminute and I are also trying to get a TTS game of it going but no luck so far.

Sorry, SDR. If it wasn't one thing it was another, and the past few weeks have been crazy at home and at work (in good ways, but still). I've had little time for board games. Hell, I brought four of the things with me to the UK but I never was able to crack one open.

Tanga sounds interesting.  What are your impressions?

Its good. A very unusual and an interesting subject. The games production standards are some of the best I've ever seen from any publisher. One word of caution though - if you do buy it, download the latest rules and errata as there are a few grey areas within the rules. Not the best laid out rule set I've played. but by no means the worst. If you want something a bit different, then I would recommend this without hesitation.

Well the kids and I fought for control of the galaxy last night.  I cannot believe I waited so long to get Rebellion.  It's fantastic.  I just wish fantasy flight would put a modicum of effort into creating some sort of insert or storage solution for their games.
