I just picked up "Fluxx" and "1st and Goal".
The challenge here will be to convince my friends to play a football game played with dice :P

Nice. Any standouts, or under-rated games in there?

Sorry for belated response. Still getting my collection uploaded like mad. Hmm... standouts. AH. Need to google a couple of these likely:

The World According to Ubi
Halo Strategy Game
007 Anniversary Monopoly
The French Card Game Mille Bornes
Mad Gab
Megiddo
Atmosphere

Lets start there for now *L*

Guilds of Cadwallon is pretty sweet. The version I have has all the bonuses from the kickstarter. But we played a vanilla game just to get the hang of it.

The reg version doesn't use a board, and only cards and tokens. But its a really fast game and the first match was over before we knew it, like 20-30mins. But it was really pretty fun and looks like its a good game to played when you don't want to marathon things that take multiple hours.

I'm going to use some of my mini paint inks to wash the tokens though. They are really nice and detailed. But you don't really see the details that well. And I want to make them stand out better. But that'll have to wait for after the move.

Here is a link to the game on board game geek: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/134711/guilds-of-cadwallon

I think we need to mention it when interesting board game kickstarters pop up, I know I've missed quite a few interesting ones. Guilds of Cadwallon sounds pretty cool, I'll have to keep a lookout on it. Hopefully it pops up on my board game online shop of choice (even with shipping it's cheaper than any local store).

Sucks that shipping to Canada is always expensive with these board game kickstarters.

Currently I have a pledge on this one (which ends soon):

Just a filler game, but it'll go well with the Get Bit deluxe edition I also got from kickstarter :P

Double post, yay!

So I just received a pile of games.

King of Tokyo (giant monsters killing each other, with DICE! and superpowers you can buy... made by the guy who made Magic)
Dice Town (poker-ish dice game where you have to find gold and get victory points, based on what you roll)
Wits & Wagers and Say Anything (both similar-ish party trivia games with a betting mechanic to get points)
Sentinels of the Multiverse (SO MANY CARDS !_! it's a co-op card game with a bunch of pre-made decks for a set of heroes, villains and environments)

Can't wait to have a board game night. A friend of mine also just bought Legendary, the Marvel deck-building game.
