There's actually a Board Game Snobs podcast which is pretty entertaining. They ripped on Tapestry recently and it was great.

 :ROFL:

I should clarify, the ripping they did on Tapestry is what was great. That game just didn't seem like it was all that great compared to the hype people were pouring into it (on the various FB threads I'm a part of). It was refreshing to hear a reviewer not give a fig and review it as they saw it.

Red Storm on sale at CSI today (Dec 15/19) for $44.99 USD.

I paid $55, with another $12 shipping. CSI has shipping for $6. I could have saved $16 on shelf decoration.

Damn, that's a good price. About $10 less than I paid and I thought I got a pretty good deal.

They had Last Eagles: Quatre Bras 1815 from Hexasim on sale a few days ago for about 40% off.  I dithered on pulling the pin on it but when I finally decided to add it to the card, they were sold out.

They have been offering quite a few highly rated wargames on sale recently.

Totally agree. Stonemaier Games in general gets absolute fanboy preening over everything they release, and their stuff is generally not all that great. Tapestry is a mess, Viticulture is dull, Scythe isn't good...

...I'm going to stop before I go into a full blown Stonemaier rant.  :ROFL:
