Jan 12th now conflicts with CP hockey draft, so will have to delay Eclipse night. Fridays won't usually work for me.

Check off topic forum for draft details.

7 Wonder is really fun, was introduced to it and played many times. Many avenues to win so can't just stick with one strategy and win all the time.

Looks awesome.

Pick me up some Settlers replacement cards while you are there, my development cards are missing!

This sounds like a good idea, with the million game pieces and the complicate mega battles at the end of the game it would speed it up a lot.

They already have this game. It's called Master Of Orion. Only difference is multi-player.

Been thinking about picking up Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game.

It got really good reviews in the Best of 2012 podcast on Dice Tower, but was wondering if anyone had any hands on experience with it.

This video might give you an idea if it's something up your alley.

So when we going to play?

Played Arkham Horror for the first time this past weekend. It was pretty fun despite all the rules and the ton of mistakes we made.

Picked up the Mage Knight expansion and oh my lord is it ever tough. I'm bad enough at the base game but this General Volkare guy is just nuts. I'd like to get the chance to try playing it with someone, but its quite a complex and difficult game, not something you can just pick up and play. Still fun though, there's no other game quite like it.

Got Android Netrunner and its two expansions. I'm in love with the theme, but I'm still unsure if I like the game itself. Going to play a bunch this weekend, then I'll know if I want to continue spending money on this one. Really cool concept, I really like the idea of an asymmetrical card game.

Picked-up the Star Wars X-Wing Miniature Game:

http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ed...idm=174&esem=4

The ships are high quality, and the game is easy and fun to play. My kids like it. The game only comes with three ships, and expansion packs seem expensive ($15+).

I hope to propose an Eclipse night soon. Waiting to see how hockey playoffs go for my son.

I'm really interested in it but it seems like a pretty big money sink. How old are your kids Trout?
