I broke into Paul's house at the weekend, and took this photo of his loft:



Lovely pun. I get it now. Ark of the Covenant stored there.  ;D  :(y)

How many copies of "Ark of the Covenant" does Paul own? He mentioned once, they are quite a lot.

EDIT: Ouppsy. Picture of Pauls photo had not been loaded before.

I got more copies than depicted, yes.  :)

Let's hope I can sell these and help others around the world get a copy at a reasonable price. Downside is, these are the Scandinavian edition, but the rules are available in English online which is a comfort.

Eivätkö kaikki osaa suomea?
Whatever it is, it's probably in the post from Germany...

IF your world record attempt fails - at least you've got a back up plan.  Most concurrent games of Ark of the Covenant  :(y)

Tempting! :)

I only ordered from that store that little Descent expansion but didn't want to pay for shipping (free shipping at a certain order value) and so I thought (or didn't think  ^-^ ) to order extra.

 CundCo says the three Räubers are on their way! Also, finally got Brew Crafters! I just finished punching out 20 sheets of cardboard. And boy it has a lot of cardboard... I won't be able to play it for three more weeks, but I may give the rules a perusal. Anyone play Brew Crafters before? Any tips?

I have a copy and really enjoy it. It is pretty simple. Do note that each player except the start player get a bonus resource.

Noted! Ever play 2-player? If so, does it scale to 2 players well? I rarely get a chance to get these longer games out with my game group.

Can your postman dig a hole through the Earth to make Cundco shipping cheaper?

Whilst I don't blame the postman, I object to his employers' business practices
