Ok! So I've now managed to play all of the board games in my collection at least once (see previous thread). I've even had a bit of a clear out.
To ensure I continue enjoying what I have and to avoid buying things I'm not going to play I'm setting myself a challenge not to buy board games until the uk games expo in May.
Instead I'm going to create a list here every time I'm tempted to buy something. I can then prioritise my purchases at the convention in May and it also gives me a chance to ask if anyone else is interested in something before I buy it. At least that's the plan. . .
I already have the following due to arrive hopefully soon as I kickstarted them last year:
Heroes of Normandie by Devil Pig Games, a light ish cardboard tactical ww2 game. It looks great and has a kind of ww2 movie feel to it.
Get lucky by cheapass games - a card version of Kill Doctor Lucky that looks just as fun but a slightly slicker more streamlined design.
So far I have been tempted by:
Deadzone by Mantic Games a sci fi miniatures urban skirmish game played on a 2ft square game space. It looks slick, light, fun and not too detailed but with interesting choices. The background appears to be slightly Firefly-like with a large corporation running core worlds, some mutated ferocious humans breaking out on the fringe and a load of rebels who don't like the corporation. A typical faction only seems to have 5 or 6 models too which means I might even paint them!
So can I resist temptation till May? Who knows?
