So jealous of you second edition owners. I own the first edition and can't justify upgrading, but it's so SO ugly.

No online play, no buy.
Does the first edition have that giant cube?
the only thing I care about from gen con is the tragedy looper expansion. Im curious to see thoughts on other games but that is all I care about and am sad to see no one else caring
it apparently will get it.

Re: Legendary Alien
Every time I'm in the Strategist I look at the box for this and finally bought it. Two customers there sold me on it. How is this game solo? Guy at the store said that's the only way he plays it and he thinks its great. I was going to play it solo just so I can see how it all works and then get my group to try it.
Also..since I have a addiction/problem buying games and their expansions and never playing them I now want to get the Legendary Marvel game and all of its expansions.

make sure to put a pack of dividers in your order or make your own since they are stingy bastards and none of the expansions come with new dividers :/
also make sure to make sure all of the cards are in your boxes when you get them. With my dark city expansion I was missing two cards and that is apparently not uncommon.

Both guys at the store said the same thing about missing cards. I still have to check this. I have a bunch of dividers from the Smash Up Big Geek Box that I never used, hopefully they fit.

Heh, if you happen in Italy plan a trip there, it is a wonderful place.
(actually, the whole Tuscia/Sabina area is filled with wonders)
The way the sheets are cut and then not reorged makes it extremely confusing to sort a new Legendary game. And yeah, it's not uncommon for them to be missing a couple cards, happened to me! Last couple years they have been giving out dividers or selling for super cheap at their booth.
Yeah, it's easily the worst game I've had to organize. Took 2 people close to an hour to figure it out. Luckily I wasn't missing any cards.
yeah... it almost takes more time to sort a 90 card legendary expansion than it does pathfinder + 10 character decks lol
I really don't get how anyone could look at a pack of legendary cards and go "yeah, that order is fine."
They chose the order that made it easier to print & package, I suspect.

Im going to have to see what everyones talking about. All ive done so far is open the box and snicker at how cheap the cardboard pieces that make up the rows are. I didnt look at a single card.

All the Legendary game sets are organized like crap.
I was hoping the English versions of Orleans, Voyages of Marco Polo, and the new Legends of Andor would be at Gen Con but looks like this Fall before I can get them. I could pay extra to get the editions out now but I'm gonna hold off. Only for sure pick ups now on my list are:
Fief: 3D Buildings Pack
Imperial Settlers: Atlanteans and Why Can't we be Friends.
Tides of Time
Star Realms: Any packs with the solo rules/cards.
Welcome to the Dungeon
X-Wing Wave 7 Scum Ships
Maybe pile:
New San Juan Ed.
Boss Monster 2
WWE Superstar Showdown
Mysterium
Perplext mini games 8 pack
Quartermaster General+expansion
Arctic Scavengers new edition and expansions
Game of Thrones: The Card Game 2 Ed.
I'm flying down from Canada and won't have a lot of room so I'll have to pick and choose. List doesn't include any deals I may come across browsing the floor. I found Thunderstone Advance: Towers of Ruin new for $20 last year at a 3rd party booth. I also go to the auction room/store each day for a look.

UPS on site makes so much sense, but is not something I would have thought of until I saw it.

It's helpful, but expensive since there is extra charge compared to normal rates also to use those shipping services on site. One of the issues with splurging at Gencon, paying MSRP on products then having to spend a bunch to ship them back home. If you can avoid that, then do it. One of the reasons I got kinda jaded on Gencon, you can get some stuff little early, but you pay alot extra for it.
And UPS to Canada, you're going to get screwed over by UPS broker fees once it enters your country ontop of the shipping fees you pay up front.
Yep. Really bad brokerage fees on anything shipped by UPS to Canada. I went by the shipping place last year and when I saw it was UPS I kept on walking.

Just my two cents, but pass on this. The buildings are fairly large and just get in the way. While not as eye catching, the building chits just work better.
Thanks, that's good to know. I've actually been debating on if I really need them or not. Not because of the size or them getting in the way but the $35usd price. With the Canadian dollar so low It works out to be around $45cdn. I could get almost any other full game for that price locally. Last year the dollar was close to equal so Gen Con was cheaper.
Level99 games just announced their latest game Exceed. A 2 player fighting card game, sorta like Battlecon but uses decks of cards instead of the rotating pool of cards you always have on hand.
They released also a print-n-play demo to try the game.

Saw a pic of Nate in the booth, getting me pumped for GenCon! Congrats!!
It's being announced at a panel today, and I'm not at SDCC, so I'm gonna be real quiet so as not to blow the announcement

Feel free to disagree but seems to be a common sentiment among euros and specifically feld games.
Well that is somewhat interesting to me. Wonder if a German publisher will pick that up.

holy shit! sold!
Very cool! Pizza power!
Doubtful at this point due to licensing.
What is strange is that they laud CoB for the same thing they are bagging on Trajan for.
Then again as someone who loves heavier games I should know I wont see eget to eye with Quins on most games.
Its just a weird comment to me. No heart? For me the many interlocking mechanics and the puzzle of your actions oozes love and heart.
The heart is in the mechanics.

Nice StoOgE I'm definitely interested!
Comic or '87 'toon artwork or GTFO. Plz confirm.
pretty much every compliant about trajan they make applies to cob (maybe even double)
also i don't think trajan is very heavy just *rules forward*

Radical, dude!
Sounds great, can't wait to read the details. The website mentions 2 to 5 players, which I assume means 1 to 4 turtles against one overlord player.
TMNT game sounds fun. Hey Stooge, just FYI that's me in the corner praying for a big box Transformers game plastered in Alex Milne artwork some day. Oh the many expansions I would buy. My wife is supremely tolerant of my hobbies but she would put me on the couch for a month over the money I would spend on such a beast.
