Board Game Bargains

[Joober]

Oh crumbs, the last thing I need is an excuse to buy even more games. Must..... Resist.....

[nutter45]

It's not an excuse, it's a reason

[Wooglie]

Thanks for the heads up on the £5 off.

[queeg500]

Yep, thanks for the tip

[MetalGearAl]

Time to order some games!

It's well worth shopping around mind, Shop4World always seems to have decent prices (though delivery isn't free on orders under £44ish). I'm after Concept and it's £5 cheaper there than on Amazon anyway.

[MetalGearAl]

You can use it multiple times too. Bought Colt Express, Castles Of Burgundy + Concept today

I did intend to use the voucher to finally pick up Camel (C)up, which was a shade over £20 when the promotion started. I don't know if they were being crafty or if it was pure coincidence, but it shortly after slipped in price to just under £20 so I couldn't use it without buying something else.

I still bought it anyway and I'm glad I did so. Yes, it is almost completely random, but it's still a great party game, and the stacking mechanic makes it quite funny how in an instant the camel you've backed can go from being well in front to leaving you completely screwed, or vice versa.

Not heard of that one before, sounds fun, although reading your description it sounded a bit like buckaroo!!

Xcom is just under £30 at Amazon

It is great, as long as you aren't playing with proper hardcore gamers who will most likely hate the randomness. I've done a poor job of describing it though as it isn't anything like Buckaroo!

Five Tribes for £32.97 from Amazon

It's a good laugh. I'm often terrible at it, but I'm happy with the knowledge it's largely a guessing game and I know that if I lose I'm generally unlucky rather than playing it badly

[vaderag]

Was hoping for a few bargains from prime day, but seen absolutely nothing... if anyone spots something give us a heads up!!

[vaderag]

7 wonders has dropped by 41% since I added it to my Amazon wish list. Currently ~£26. Cant affiliate a link as on tapatalk, but please use an affiliate link!!

[Wooglie]

There's also £10 of orders over £50 at Amazon today only, should make some expensive board games a little cheaper.

[vaderag]

If only I could buy... Birthday coming up so I have a ban!

[queeg500]

Damn you! That's totally going to make me buy something...

(Thanks )

[queeg500]

I ended up buying Alhambra, Bohnanza and Cities of Burgundy to save myself a tenner yesterday

Anyone else pick anything up?

[vaderag]

I'm pretty certain my mum/wife got me Small World and Survive EFA for my bday

[Torf]

Pretty sure my wife picked something for me! Hoping for 7 wonders or Camel Up!
