Banzicat - If you have Big Trouble in Little China I would love to play it.  It is starting to look like I'd have to cough up $120 delivered to get a copy - if I can find one even at that price.

 :o

Yeah, that's nuts. I bought mine for about $90 or just a little south of that, through Amazon. I'm surprised the game is so expensive but likely that's because it's out of print and now third-party sellers are cranking the prices up.

I might get my copy out this weekend and try to play it, if you're looking for impressions. I'm keeping a hold of this baby, though.




you guys could meet up at Origins to pl...  oh, uh...  never mind  :hehe:

Jesus, $250...

The only game I'd consider paying hundreds of dollars for (if I even HAD it in the first place) would be a mint copy of Queen's Gambit. That's my Holy Grail and I doubt I'll ever find a copy that doesn't cost $5-600. :(

Is that the 1742-1748 game or the Star Wars game?

Sorry Bob, shoulda specified...the Star Wars game.

The only good thing to come out of the three prequel movies. ;D

Minimum price right now is $290 US, on BGG. :(

Yep.  :o is right.

If it was just me and I had a bonus check in hand...I could see treating myself to that. Shut up, mirth.

But even then, damn. Three hundred bucks for a board game. Even a good one. That might merit a new thread around here...what's the most peeps around here have paid for a board game.

Big Trouble was ordered days ago but has not shipped which seem ominous.

Where did you order it from?

Huh. I never had any issues with orders from ThinkGeek. Hang in there.

Just got the email that it had been shipped.  I also got the 2nd expansion for Fortune & Glory today.  I've got quite a few cooperative, table-top games now.

I can't help but think that's my fault.  :2funny:

Which Fortune and Glory expansion did you get?

I played Marvel Legendary and found the gameplay and cooperative aspect to be very underwhelming.

Yeah, I didn't think much of it, either. The Legendary Encounters games (Alien, Predator, Firefly) are much, much, MUCH better.

I've got Big Trouble in Little China! It is a fun game, though the rules are a bit of a mess in terms of trying to find info during a game. I also picked up the Legacy of Lo Pan expansion, which allows up to 6 players to play it and adds a whole different campaign that you can play (though I haven't had a chance to try it yet). It's a fun game, but setup takes forever and it is an absolute table devouring pig.
