So....

Tiny Epic Galaxies closes this Saturday morning at 7am so it's time for a final call for anyone interested.  You can follow up here for all the stuff that's included now:
TEG

Here's the of game play

I am in for a deluxe copy and I believe Cordawg is also confirmed for the same (US $23.5ea for two copies).  Six copies takes the prices down to approx US$21.50ea shipping included if we send them to my US Postal Box.  I would need to know by 10pm Friday night.

I am out, I ended up in a ten pack deal, unless you need a fifth or sixth to fill out your order

[Heroes of Metro City]

So, since my last time posting (Dec 10th!, I am a slacker), I have played an assortment of games, I will go by amount played:

Heroes of Metro City - hey a superhero semi co-op deckbuilder! Man, was this hard, we played it 7 times and eked out one win. Tough game that punishes greediness. I got 7 plays in, all in a day.

Machi Koro - light dice and tile game, after 4 plays it has started to slide in my interest list. I will play it to teach others, but I am over it this dice rolling city building game.

Power Grid - 3 plays in the last 3 weeks! This is one of my favourite games and I am always glad to teach it. I played the USA, Quebec and Germany boards. I think I am going to aim for ten plays this year.

Love Letter - This is becoming my "go to: game for accessible gaming, short sweet and a little bit mean. 3 plays so far. Almost half are at Woods.

7 Wonders - It has slowly moved from a game I played a lot (16 plays in 2012) to one I barely played (4 in 2014). I still enjoy it, but much of the sheen has disappeared. This includes the 3 I had between Christmas and New Years.

King of Tokyo - fun game once in a while, but I don't want a serious diet of it. All the plays were at Woods Alehouse on a Monday night.

London I really like this game, it is a shame I don't play it more often. I think I will make it game of the Week at Woods soon. 2 plays, both at home.

Mississippi Queen - Racing paddle wheelers! One of my new favourite race games. lighter and quicker with less work to manage what you have to do with a touch of meanness. 2 plays, one of them at Woods.

Steam - I love the Martin Wallace line of train games and this one works well, smaller and more compact than Railways of the World, a little friendly than Age of Steam. 2 plays, both at home.

All with one play
Civilization - technically it was Civilization with the Advanced Civilization expansion but it is what it is. BGG says I have logged three plays since 2012, but I think I am close to 50 or more in my life. We played for 10 hours then called it with 2 or 3 turns to go. Still my #1 game.

Nexus Ops - fun dice chucking game with conflict, sort of like a quick risk. great fun, but I cannot roll to save my life (or my Rock Spiders!)

San Juan - we were looking for a quick filler at a meetup, so I pulled this one out and we played a quick form player game at a meetup group. I really like it, and I am always enjoying it. My wife does not enjoy it two player, as I consider this a race game.

Small World - January 26th's Game of the Week at Woods Alehouse. Easy to teach, fun to play with tonnes and tons of player interaction. You would think I would know how to win by now.

Sword of Rome - 5 player CDG on Rome. Another of my top five games I got to play lately. 5 hours, and a Carthaginian win (I was the Etruscan/Samnite player). Good intro into more than 2P CDGs.

Vegas Showdown - smart game and I think under rated when it came out. I should play this more, as everyone I taught it to has loved it. I had it as Game of the Week at Woods several weeks ago.

Xia: Legends of a Drift System - pretty bits and a fun space exploration game, more options than Merchants of Venus, and fast as well.

Lori I would be in on Tiny Epic Galaxy

Ok, I'll start the list and see if anyone else comes on board.

1. Lori
2. NeikeDjour (maybe)
3. Cordawg

FYI, I am creating an order in Saskatoon too, JIC anyone here is interested

We should talk before this closes because I have a US Post Office Box so can get them delivered there for the US shipping rate instead of the Canadian rate.

Sure

[Wealth of Nation]

My last week is:
Wealth of Nations: I bought it new but never played it, easy rules but good economic game

Steampark : (2P)  I only had it for a couple of days before cracking it out, pretty light, but ok

Stephenson's Rocket: I last played it in 2006...

Red November:  interesting co-op, but we undoubtedly played it wrong

Power Grid : still awesome!

Because I am a sucker for all things Sentinels of the Multiverse, I backed their party game

I'm with Matt.  I've never bought any Mayday products (I don't think) but I've read enough customer complaints, followed by transparently bogus excuses from Seth, that I'd approach anything they release with caution.

What they said

Steampunk Rally 6 pack order

This just arrived at my house, almost but not quite a year late.
Xia, Legends of a Drift

[Roll through the Ages]

I was at ToonCon all weekend and played... nothing!

last night at Woods Alehouse we played Roll through the Ages, Love Letter and Airships
