That's an amazing haul!

I had to look on BGG for 'In The Year of the Dragon':

The game play is easier than it may appear.

Doesn't bode well

Looking forward to your review of it & Pagoda too! We saw Cottage Garden at Essen and wasn't impressed with the bodges required, hope it plays well with the fixes in place

Just receive two kinds of Dragon's metal coins. I will use it like reward for the quest and the hunt of my baby dragons.

My order came in from Cundco. Cloisters for Netherlands and Germany, German Cathedrals, Winter Expansions, 3 replacement

for ones that were deformed in my Big Box collection, 4 "replacement tiles".

And a

that was supposed to be an entire set of brown pieces

oops by Cundco. I dislike having them send a separate shipment over for one thing. I'm going to see if they'll just refund it, and I can order the brown piece set in my next order.

I really like the look of these coins.

UPS came this afternoon

Gifts for my parents and grandparents.

These were from Amazon.it I had selected the slower shipping rate to save money. The 10 day option. 10 days from my order would have been this coming Friday (2 days from now). Amazon was slow to get it out the door, so they ended up shipping it Monday as 3 day International shipping. Crazy.

No they don't have Crop Circles 1. Those tiles are crossed off the Tile Replacement List. They will refuse the order if you order all of one set at a time anyway.

No. They kind of shot themselves in the foot a bit by offering those tiles via their tile "replacement" service...

Will do. We are walking the Camino de Santiago starting late next month so I'm going to bring them along. First I have to decide which 8 to bring in the pod. I'll probably leave out Box (themeless) and maybe Woo. The ones I'm most looking forward to are Boo, Orc and Rum. And hopefully Nut and Dig will be fun for junglegirl.

Buen Camino, Jungleboy and Junglegirl. Ultreïa!

Just maybe don't play too much with your new games, else you might miss out on the fantastic camino experience.

Jungleboy,

Let me know what you think of the Pack O Game series. We have tried Rum, Sow, and Gym so far. Gym was the best of the 3.

While I wait to try these games out, Zee Garcia (my favourite of the Dice Tower guys) reviewed the eight retail games in the pack (excluding Nut and Woo), and ranked them like this:

1. Rum
2. Dig
3. Sow
4. Orc
5. Gym
6. Spy
7. Boo
8. Box

He really dislikes Box (as do I from the look of it - I'm going to replace it with Nut in my eight-game pouch). I'm pleasantly surprised to see Dig rated so high and glad to see Rum rated so high because I liked the look of those two as well.

And an order from spielematerial, with wooden commodities, like barrels, ribbons and wheats. Also got some nice gold bars and sheep, to up my game!

AdamJBavier · « **Reply #1888 on:** May 11, 2017, 11:57:44 AM »

From Cundco: Set of blank tiles, Watchtowers, unfinished set of meeples ~~and Die Belagerer.~~ Not picture, a blue bag for my Grandma and some replacement tiles.
From Grooves-inc: Over Hill and Dale
From Halfling here on the forum: Die Belagerer

There is no manege frei meeple in the unfinished piece bag. I was not expecting so, but I was curious if there might be. There is an Abbott.
