My copy of Coral Sea, 2nd ed arrived this morning.  Missing one data sheet but not a biggie as I found a better version on the FB page.  (bad luck though.  My last two game purchases both had parts missing).

Read through the rules and it seems like it'll be a really fun game.  Reminds me of a board game version of WitP: AE.  The components are a bit on the chintzy side .  The manual is decent but could use more illustrated examples.  the charts and tables that come with the game are not so great.  Lots of pertinent info is missing from them.  Thankfully there are some great 3rd party ones available on the FB page and BGG.

I unexpectedly received a $100 Amazon card at the office holiday party. Suggestions for spending it? I was about to purchase the Panzer base game when Amazon thoughtfully pointed out that I previously bought it. So now I have to start checking game stacks for that.  :D

Maybe some shelves to better organize what you have to avoid purchasing what you already have   :biggrin:

Then think of the cash you can get from selling all those duplicate copies you discover - but don't tell OJ - he may want a commission.

When you say "game shelves" are you referring to "shelves for storing games" or did you mean "shelves made out of all the games you still have in shrink wrap"

Yea,  like my wife would allow me to keep any money I would get from that.   :P
