I tell you this that Facebook group for selling and trading games is like crack.
Sometimes there are some good deals on there that are fair to both the seller and the buyer. Sometimes the seller is completely unrealistic in their expectations in the asking price. They actually think that a used game (even if it is only played once) should get them a price that is only a quid or two less than getting the game new!
So what has this got to do with me? Well I've managed to find one of those fair deals on there today that has landed me a copy of the Game of Thrones boardgame (hence the logo at the start of the post).
It won't be here until next week, then I have the problem of getting it to the table.
The game needs a minimum of three to play, and those three people need to have a large spare chunk of free time. It's my understanding that the game takes a bit of time to play like two to three hours.
So any one in the Wisbech area that would like to play the game with me drop me a line in the comments below.
The wave two expansions for Imperial Assault have started to hit the stores yesterday. I was hoping my order would have made it to me today. But after contacting the store, it appears that it was like a teaser batch that the stores have been sent. With the main shipment hitting next week!
So if I'm lucky I think I will have the expansions middle of next week. Exactly when I'm away for a friends wedding. But they will be (touch wood) in time for my next visit to see Nath over the bank holiday weekend.
We had a five player, seven hour (with breaks…) session of AGoT:TBG yesterday! It’s a brilliant game that captures the world very well, but a) yes, it really does take several hours to play, especially when you are still sorting out all the rules, and b) it gets better with more players. Good luck in finding fellow gamers!
Nick, thanks for the feedback on AGoT:TBG. Wow seven hours!!! I hope you won.
