Our local gaming group ( http://www.meetup.com/Charlottesville-Gaming-Group/ ) has everyone fill out their collection on BGG so I thought I would share mine with the group.

Recent purchases for me are:
- Settlers of Catan
- Mice and Mystics
- Ticket to Ride

Neat idea...I guess I will have to put mine in.

I usually only play about one game a week...so I guess I am more of a collector...

I think we have a sickness. Some more than others...

nowhere close to accurate on # of plays; pretty sure there's games that still need to be added, too. but this is close

There are a few recent acquisitions that I haven't gotten to the table yet. Aside from that, there are some expansion bits that haven't yet seen play. But I've played a good majority of my collection.

I sit and fondle mine a lot but they rarely get action any more these days.
Oh, and I've played about half of my games. Perhaps I should adjust a bit? :P

Sickness beyond measure, gentlemen...

Then again, I took my son to a train expo last year. Milwaukee, for whatever it's worth, hosts the largest model train expo in the Midwest right 'round November. In any event, a friend of my wife's was part of one display of HO-scale trains set up in one corner of a very large convention hall. His one train, on one of eight tracks, boasted eighty -- not a typo -- eighty coal cars. When I asked him how much each one was and was told $25, my wife gave me a look that said eloquently: "this still does not make your game-thing reasonable."

I must disagree.

And, this week, I laid hold of the Star Wars spaceship combat game from Fantasy Flight (my boy loves it) and the Talisman conversion Relic. With respect to the latter, it's Talisman in the world of the 41st Century, it had me at hello...

Best,

Jim

Of course! Just as soon as I've had a chance to order what I want...

;D

http://www.starlitcitadel.com/games/deals/board-games-special-sales.html

There are currently 852 items on that list.

For anyone even slightly interested in Pathfinder (and in Canada), there are the equivalent of at least 2 pages of stuff (and that's with it set to show 64 items per page).

Oooooo... there's a few things on there that caught my eye....

Their prices are good even when not on sale...

Must resist.... I'm gonna be in Vancouver next week too! :P

Got my order in. I forced myself to maintain some level of restraint. It wasn't easy. ::) ;)

My birthday haul from yesterday. My wife spoiled me. :) I got a 'cool to the touch' natural light lamp for painting minis. Wings of Glory WWI duel pack (which the wife actually played with me. Lots of fun even when she beat me). And thanks to Arctic Blast's pictures and descriptions in the 'pics of recent games' thread she bought me Wilderness after I showed her the thread. (It was just as much fun as AB said it would be. Oh yeah and she bought me On War by Clausewitz as well. ;D
