Other Games / Re: Top 10 Games - Poll #1

« on: April 29, 2017, 01:00:46 PM »

It's a sad day for modern board-gaming when poker has a real chance of winning a Top Ten Poll.  After the excellent discussion from Dirk about the Golden Age of boardgaming a few days ago, I'm now considering we are in fact in a Bubble.

I just think its just that people don't know most of the other games and they like poker so they vote for it.  At least that is what I'm guilty of.

Thanks for the info dirk2112!!

Did you get it?   I noticed it was sold this morning.  I was hoping someone on here got it.  Lucky for whoever, I only collect tiles.   

Well, I put in a "Best Offer" and then the seller met me about halfway.  So, yes, I did purchase it.  I won't actually believe it though until I am holding it in my hands.  Once I get it, if I get it, I may want to trade for other items I've been trying to acquire…… because, honestly, I never thought I'd have the chance to get a 70pt scoreboard for a less-than-astronomical price.

This listing appears to have the original scoreboard if anyone is interested.

The Marketplace / WTT: Want Spiel 14 tile, Cathars, Darmstadt, alt-color phantoms

« on: April 24, 2017, 11:44:41 AM »

Hello all,
I am looking to complete my collection, but I would rather make a reasonable trade than buy.

I am looking for:
•Spiel 14 tile
•Cathars
•Darmstadt
•alt-color phantoms  (other than the 6 colors that The Phantom expansion comes with)
•alt-color teacher meeples  (other than the 4 colors that The School expansion comes with) 
•Russian promos
•any other non-standard Carc tiles/accessories

I have extras for trade of:       (all unused)
•Tunnels (with or without magazine)
•Plagues
•German Castles
•Festival 10th anniversary Cundco old art version(Das fest)
•Games Quarterly Expansion
•Halflings I
•Halflings II
•School expansions
•10th Anniversary edition Carcassonne (w/ Festival and 8 'phantoms' per color/player)
•An unopened 2000 Rio Grande version of Carcassonne w/River  (shows 70-pt scoreboard on back but I'm pretty sure it comes with standard grey 50-pt scoreboard)
•The Castle spin-off
•Possibly mini-expansions 1-6.
•Winter Edition Crop Circles


Let me know what you have and what you'd like, and perhaps we can arrange something.   I am in the United States, in case that makes a difference to anyone.

Thanks,

Joe

The Marketplace / Re: Import fees when buying from Amazon European stores?

« on: April 19, 2017, 03:05:35 PM »

I just got 2 maneje Frei expansion 10 From Amazon.de shipped to United States.   I got both together for under $38USD total , including tax, shipping and currency conversion.  Plus, when you check out, it will remove the VAT.  I did have to try various sellers and try checking out (without finalizing the purchase) several times to check actual shipping prices.  Not the easiest way, but it worked and I got each copy for less than $20.  It's my 4th overall order from Amazon.de.  Just be prepared to wait.  I had 2 shipments arrive in about 10 days, but the other two took nearly a month.

What makes a dice roller a "real-time" dice roller?  Just curious.

I nominate some old-time favorites:    Spades,  Cribbage,  Briscas

I also nominate some of my recently discovered favorites:   Port Royal,   Guildhall,   Famiglia

Hmmmm, I just realized they are all card games.  Good for saving space I guess

One set of CC1 is available on Amazon.de (German Amazon) for 60 euros, which may be a reasonable price for some..  It appears new/unpunched with original rule sheet.

https://www.amazon.de/Carcassonne-Mini-Erweiterung-Die-Kornkreise/dp/B01LZOSEBE/ref=sr_1_90?ie=UTF8&qid=1485455263&sr=8-90&keywords=carcassonne+die

Also, one copy of Cathars is available for 55 euros.

These are not my items, I am just passing on the information.  Be warned, it seems there is only one copy of each of these listed there, so if you really want it and the price is agreeable don't hesitate.

« on: January 11, 2017, 12:06:25 PM »

Thanks so much for all the links for Das Fest! I think the postage would be cheaper it I save up and ship myself!  That would be the best Da Fest of all!   

In the meanwhile I'll wait for the Cundco store to stock up! 

Amazon in US now has the new version of Festival expansion for $23.99.

Not sure if this thread is still active so I've sen you a PM, Paul

It's active! It's just me being slow. Past 2 weeks been focusing on lego sales. I'll see about board game sales hopefully tomorrow as I've got weekend booked.

I'm glad to see you are still in business Paul.  I had sent you a couple PMs about the P&D expansion and possibly some minis.  I've not heard back from you yet, most likely because you have been so busy lately.  Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I'm still interested in case my messages got lost.      Joe
