Received this gem today. Can't wait for it to hit the table!

Heard good things. Let us know your thoughts!

Only one package for me today.



Equally excited for this. I have enjoyed the play throughs i've watched and so far seems suitable for 2-4 players according to BGG voters.

There were actually 4 other board games in the delivery for free shipping but I've been placing orders for a work pal on my account. I'm a true game pusher now! (He got Kanagawa, Cottage Garden, Century Spice Road and 7 Wonders: Duel. The later is the only title I don't have so i've made him promise to get that to the table.)

Wanna play Carc? Can we add just one more expansion?

Not really the postman, but i wanted to share our newest find.
Its a dice game called Regenwormen (Rainworms). Originally from Germany a game called Heckmeck am Bratwurmeck. We played it with my family and decided to buy it, including the expansion!
I found out later that the art on the box has been made by 'our very own' Doris Matthäus!

Heard good things. Let us know your thoughts!

So I got to play this twice today at 2 players. Was definitely a lot of fun. I enjoy some of the newer pure strategy games and this is no exception. The component quality is great and the theme is top notch. In fact the theme plays so well into the game. It is great. Playing the game with 2 players was interesting though. You had a good open board with which to grow your trees and to not have to worry as much about your opponent. Then again there are turns where your opponent can just sneak up on you and suddenly half your trees are blocked and you get very little sun points. I haven't played this 3 or 4 player but I suspect at those player counts the game gets much more cutthroat having to worry about your opponents' every moves and fighting for the inner circles trying to get the most points.

This is definitely a solid game that even if you weren't the biggest fan of pure strategy games I'd check it out anyways. As is I only have one minor issue and that's with the game box itself. This is just personal preference but I wish the game box itself was a little thicker.

I don't want to say yet if this game would crack my top ten but it is definitely been solid so far and I can't wait to check it out some more!

I've had the 2013 pair since they were sold on Hobby World.

I traded for the two 2016 tiles with a guy on Board Game Geek who (somehow!) had multiple copies. He wanted a German first edition of Der Fluss which I was able to track down and I also gave him a tile signed by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede.

Today was a first.

Ordered a Slide Blast copy from NiceGameShop.com and received an Korean edition:

Didn't see that coming.

Dan looks like he's busy levitating a signed Klaus Jurgen Wrede tile in that picture  :(y)

What's the production quality like Chooselife?
