Talking of consumerism, it really is time I stopped buying new games. I'm supposed to be a student on a tight budget after all. In the last few months, I can think of at least 5 new titles that I have picked up:
Chicago Express
Race for the Galaxy: Rebel vs Imperium
I just collected these today. Very excited, especially about Chicago Express, which might be a possibility for Christmas Eve with the boys.
Beyond Valor
The big one. The purchase that says "I'm serious about this ASL thing". But am I? I certainly haven't punched the counters yet.
Peloponnesian War
Kind of pre-ordered this by accident from GMT. Got stung on import duty/admin fees.
Stalingrad Pocket
Modern Art
OK these are Maths Trade acquisitions. But I also acquired an (unwanted) Drive on Stalingrad as part of the deal.
Res Publica
Vic bequeathed this to me before he left for Canada.
Roll Through the Ages
My Mum got me this for my birthday, bless her. Last time she got me a game I was about 8. I like it a lot too, especially as Sue enjoys playing it.
Napoleon's Triumph
After the Flood
Unhappy King Charles
These are purchases from slightly earlier this year, so maybe don't count. Excellent (but expensive) all three of them.
Oh. That's more than 5 isn't it.
In the same time period I have sold exactly one game (BattleLore) and traded another two (Flandern 1302 and Conquistador) , so it's clear which direction of flow predominates.
January may have to see a little clearout, I think.
