That only backs up my point about preferring a Kiwi game! :lol1:
P.S. How much do you stalk the website and our media? This is the second SB-related comment you've made recently...
Well TBH not very much, I think I visited the FB page twice now? But I watched your review(s) video so that's the basis of my SB comments.
I wouldn't mind having a peruse of what you've got, though I don't have much spare cash/time atm as it turns out moving country costs a bit of money! My video gaming is suffering terribly...
Oh yeah, you're moving to Kiwiana soon, yeah? Very cool.
Well if you're looking for something that'll challenge your strategic skills, hit me up and I'll point you in the direction of some good'uns.
When are you in New Zealand from/until? And I assume you'll be based in Auckland?
I've already been back and forth a few times this year. But will be there permanently from October I'd say. I have a 10 week stint in Coffs Harbour Hosp before then (hopefully a bit of site seeing - including the Bulldogs motel). And yeah based in Auckland, with any luck.
Permanently? Cool as. We've got gaming events launching around the North Island from next month. Just Auckland and Tauranga at this stage, but we're also eyeing up Whangarei and Hamilton, and we just came back from a Wellington event that's keen to go into partnership with us, so there should be an opportunity for you to dip your toes into the hobby and see if it interests you. :thumb:
Geez. Sounds like you're on the up! Yeah I'll defs check it out if I'm in town at the time. Especially if you get to dress up a la Comic-Con.
The best tip I ever received when launching the business was this: "propagate the myth".
That's what we've been doing, and the more we propagate it, the less of a myth it becomes.
It's pretty cool to go to a convention and have people come up to you to thank you for sourcing that hard to find game, or to praise your service, etc.
And LG is right - we're due a thread split, but Spence is supposed to be buying games from us, so he can go to the conventions, too.

And sadly, no dress ups. We're on the fringe of normality, us board gamers. (But only just!)

I got Settlers of C-Town off Jes, I enjoy giving it a good fisting with my mates when we're bored.
Does it go on your coffee book table?
Glad to know you're enjoying it, blain. Catan is just the first step in the door, though...
I've played Settlers once before. It wasn't really a very good game, but it was quite fun. I enjoyed it. But at the same time it could have been better. Although I don't think it could have been too much better.
Alright, I admit it, I haven't actually played the game yet. The guy on the front was cute though, so I like that.

Given your reputation, calling a guy "cute" isn't the most intelligent move on your part...
Nice Skinny impersonation, though.
Additionally, I never knew guys (or girls) with beards were your thing: https://seriouslyboard.co.nz/games/images/517/Buy_Settlers_Of_Catan_NZ.jpg/
