Welp I saw Gloomhaven was $133, then dropped to $117, then $107. I had a nice gift card that's just been cleaned out to get this game at this (for Gloomhaven) ridiculously low price.

Cyrano - are you still getting a lot of enjoyment out of it?

Was it not Cyrano that was playing this?

It's been a while, ergo why I'm asking the question.

Funny you should ask:  played for eight straight hours yesterday and loved every minute of it.  Finally got my best friend over to be our fourth and he has made me swear to not advance the story without him.

The only downside is the thing is a beast to put out and stow.  It’s what comes of a game if this scope, I suppose, but the struggle is real.

I continue to regard it as among the best games ever created.

Thanks, Cyrano. I figured it would be a beast component-wise, but I just could not pass it up at $107.

That and so many positive reviews echoing your words about it being great...my only hesitation was it's legacy aspect, but I went for it too.

$107 is the lowest I've seen for Gloomhaven, that's a great deal. Hmmmm.............

Do eeet!

I'm also trying to decide if I want Drive On Stalingrad (DG version). I'm loathe to spend $70 on a DG remake but I really like what this one covers.

I received a $100 Amazon gift certificate for Christmas. I now own Gloomhaven.

Speaking of no self control, I just picked up Barbarossa by VPG and DnD Wrath of Ashardalon. With Hitler's Reich I did pretty well this year.

Anyone else get some good stuff?
