Board Games!
burningdoom:
So I recently purchased this Wizards of the Coast board game:
Which is a 2012 re-release of this classic TSR board game:
I'd rather have that awesome retro-looking original version, but with all the pieces that goes for a hefty price. They did a great job on the re-release, from all the pics I've seen, though. Pretty dang close to the original (different artwork notwithstanding).
This one, like my recent Star Control purchase for my Sega Genesis, is another purchase that's dear to my heart. As I mentioned in the recent game pick-ups thread, I just found out my dad has stage 4 cancer and we have no time-frame on how long he has left. This was a game we used to play a lot together when I was a kid (the original version). I freaking loved it and always asked him to play it when I visited his house. So this was a purchase so we could enjoy this together while we can, I can have that memory with me forever.

I see this thread was pretty dead until burningdoom posted today, but since I wasn't around for the first time...I LOVE board games. I don't have nearly as many as I do video games, but it seems we've collected quite a few in the last year or so. My favorites are Ticket to Ride and Power Grid, but we picked up both Alien Frontier and Compounded at PAX East this year and I am really enjoying those. We've also got stuff like Alhambra, King of Tokyo, Settlers of Catan, Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition, and a lot of those ones you see on top board game lists like The Dice Tower.

Alien Frontiers is really good. I need to pick up a copy myself. Gotta love Ticket to Ride and Power Grid though! My gaming group has been pretty obsessed with Bohnanza at the moment. What's not to love about a bean farming game!
Other than that, I finally got to bust out Carcassonne on Friday. Just like you said, I don't own as many as I'd like to.

I've been wanting to pick up Alien Frontiers for a while but it's not too easy to find. I did find a copy recently, but I bought a copy of Puzzle Strike instead (also a tough game to find).
My board game collection is starting to get out of control (for me at least), but I slowed down quite a bit:

My cousin gave me a couple sets of World Of Warcraft: Heroes Of Azeroth & Onyxia's Lair. Design looks pretty nice, sadly I just don't know how to play the game Awesome thought for a gift, though.
