Glad you got your packages guys. Enjoy!

I also got a very special package today. In fact, it was special for two reasons: firstly, because it contained some cool promo pieces for Cheapass games' "Unexploded Cows" that Squiffything sent to me. Thanks! :) And secondly, because it was my first post item sent to me at my new address! Fortunately my new address is only a few doors down the road and the people we're buying the house from know where we live so brought it round to me! A little over 2 weeks to go now though, and it will be ours! 8)

Oops my bad! Suppose to have gone to the old house, doh. Glad you got them safely. Enjoy especially if you manage to pick up a copy of Cows.
Oooo, look at all the meeples

A few things over the last few days:

First up Squiffything was kind enough to send me a homemade TAK board and also the promos for 'Unexploded Cow' which Dan got too:


Thanks a lot Squiffy, I'll be sure to write up what I think about Tak once I've had chance to play it!

Yesterday I received San Francisco - Cable Car - By Dirk Henn (a la Alhambra), it is essentially a reskin of Metro, but with an additional mini-expansion that has something to do with manipulating Stocks in certain routes.  It's a Queen Game unfortunately, but it's meant to be a classic.



I also got this: Shahrazad - Which is a little solo (2-player co-op) game that has been really well presented/produced by Osprey Games, it's not particularly big enough to warrant a full review, but it's not expensive.  It takes about 10 minutes to play, I had some issues with the rule book (their end game scoring is missing 3 cards). 


@jungleboy: I think this is up your ally and good for travelling - you might want to check it out:

I too, like Squiffything and Willem88, received my gift from Dan in the mail. Much faster than expected. Thanks so much Dan!

This arrived yesterday:


It's a card game where you must decided how a sequence of events unfolds on your adventure to the lost city of El Dorado.
We played it two-player and managed to reach our goal (on Easy).
Here's a photo of the end game:


On our second evening we lost Candido searching for the path ahead.
Shot at a Tiger in the Jungle.
Crossed some Rapids.
And Lost Bessie in the Ruins.
But it meant Roy to claim victory in finding the Lost City:


It plays solo, co-op and competitive.   The artwork is really great.
@jungleboy - another one you should check out from Osprey Games!

Nor Virginia. But give it a few days ... the USPS isn't exactly super-consistent.

This week I have received two packages.
The first package I received was the Labyrinth Tiles.
The second package contained the Tile signed by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede sent to me by danisthirty and one of his meeples.

I am so excited to receive both these packages.
I can't wait to start playing with the 2 Labyrinth Tiles and now I can play my expansion Dan the Traveling Man.
I won't be playing with the signed tile necessarily, but I will always treasure it and keep it with my set.

Thanks again Dan
