Awkward guests is a game from Spain called Incomodos invitados, that is why is so difficult for you to find, I have it as well as Cry Havoc.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Nice!

[@jdober77]

Many years ago when I started this hobby, I saw a game that interest me that was out of print. That game was Ginkopolis. Now that it back in print, I got it for my birthday. As for Cry Havoc, I've seen that on Amazon (USA) for less than $40. I'm interested in that one now. Now that Tom Vasel, says it's his 2nd best game from Portal games.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Ginkopolis is a good one!

[@jacobmccue365]

Eminent Domain was my introduction to deck-building and features the cool "follow" mechanism that allows you to play on other people's turn. I sold it a few years ago because it was not aging well and lacked any excitement/tension. I think it's a stretch to call it a Civilization game, definitely more deck-building and hand management. A nice game back in 2011, but with the MANY better deck-builders now, IMO I'd say save your money!

[@lamfgames]

Oh, I love the illustrations of Monsters on Board, Townsfolk Tussle, and Leaving Earth! I'm going to these up! :)

[@FostertheMeeple]

Did not realize Deadpool and Bruce Lee where so rare. I did pick up Deadpool and almost (wished I had) picked up Bruce Lee. I got it of all places when we stopped in Barnes & Noble for other things. Now if I could only get the same luck with Root.

I think Bruce Lee is more rare than deadpool but yes, tough to find!

You ever seen videos of primates grooming each other, picking out bugs or whatever, often eating them. I notice Jamie often does the same with Jeff. But not eating the findings. My spouse does the same to me all the time too. Some weird primate gene stuff.

My biggest grail game right now Atlantis Rising! I cannot seem to find a copy for the life of me and I have heard really good things and theme alone it seems like such a cool game!!

Board Game Oracle might help in your search. It pulls availability across multiple stores/provinces. Also 401 Games specifically in Toronto has a great selection and tends to be a bit cheaper than Boardgame Bliss. Hope that helps!

[@reed4764]

+1 for 401games. They also do price match and have a royalty program which gives further discounts.

I'm not a monster game type person, and I loved Monsters on Board. I tried, like you to get a copy, but was too late to the game. Good luck on procuring those grail games!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thank you!

[@vinnieyang5422]

Just a few heads ups! - As others have already mentioned, Townsfolk Tussle will be back on crowdfunding for its expansion(s) - Leaving Earth is a great game but it's also basically math homework: the game - Wacky Racers may show up on the second hand market as the CMON: Animation Collection is getting close to shipping

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thank you!

[@aowoodworks2408]

Hate to let you know but TMG is no longer a company. That said, I’ve loved their games they published. Great quality and great games. Orleans, Yokohama, Chimera Station, Flip City all there’s, all really fun.

[@readilium3432]

Other companies have picked up most of their games.

[@blueshadesable]

I fully support and encourage more of Jeff's desicion to say: "Hello no" to ridiculous after-market price-gouging. My grail game was the expansion for Runebound 3rd edition, Unbreakable Bonds. I searched for over a year and just when I was about to give up, someone on Reddit saw my post and sent me files of scanned copies of every component needed to play the game. I then found a website online that prints prototype boardgames and components and printed the damn thing myself. Did it cost me more than if I had just paid what people were asking for on BGG, yes. Do I regret it, absolutely not. :)

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hahah love that journey

[@KabukiKid]

Leaving Earth is WAY underrated and truly excellent. It also plays well solo. It is pretty much not in retail anywhere, so you have to buy it directly from the publisher... and I am pretty sure it is self-published, so you basically have to buy it directly from the designer. lol There are some expansions for it, as well.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Yea I’m excited to try it!

[@dionne4110]

I think I've seen Wacky Races in my local game store in Rotterdam! And Townsfolk Tussle has really amazing artwork! I tracked down a copy a few months ago.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Nice!! Hoping we can find one!

[@MrJmarzetti]

Awkward Guests does sound like a lot of fun. I was lucky just last week when one of my Grail games turned up on Craigslist. Its worth checking occasionally. The downside is they won't have as many postings as a local Facebook market group will, but when I find something good, its usually priced way less than the more popular second hand market sites.

[@FostertheMeeple]

That’s a good idea!

[@aowoodworks2408]

Oh man, cry havoc 😞 I wanted to like this game so much. Bought it immediately when it came out, painted every figure before ever playing then played around 4x with different player counts and after long discussions with our play group, as much as we liked it, we could not figure out how one of the factions could ever possibly win. One faction is built to win and it’s up to them to lose. Another is so very hard that while fun it sucks the life out of it a bit. I’m pretty sure it’s possible to win with it once you’ve put tons of time into the game but it’s one of those times where you can make no mistakes if you want any hope of doing so. I think the expansion helped with this problem but I’m not into buying an expansion to fix something. By that time I’d sold it and won’t go back. That said, it was fun and the fighting mechanic was super cool it was just deflating at the end to be one of the factions.

[@KabukiKid]

I'm in the U.S. and I've even ordered things from Board Game Bliss. :-) They are great!

[@MurphMers]

Tablenauts made me want to get Awkward Guests too! Been on my BoardGameBliss wishlist forever 😢

[@FostertheMeeple]

It’s VERY good! We played with them for the first time and fell in love!

[@ThatJaymsWisdom]

I almost backed both Monsters on Board and Townsfolk Tussle on Kickstarter but shipping and taxes have been so expensive for boardgames coming to the UK so I decided against it. I hope both of them make a wider release.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Yea it’s a tough variable right now for sure

[@cryofpaine]

Wacky Racers is available on CMON's site directly, and a few other sites (including the big A). That does look fun. My brother has one, Star Wars Epic Duels, that he's been looking for forever. Unfortunately, it's 20 years old and long out of print, so you either get used copies, or spend up to $400 for it. And I hear you on the white shirts. When I wear white, I look like a cadaver. I turn grey. Not a good look. 😅

[@timborocksloud]

Jeff! I have Cry Havoc!! It sits on my shelf and I haven't played it in years because I couldn't find anyone to play it with! Let's figure out how I can get it to you. My Grail games are Honey Buzz (waiting for the KS to ship) Great Wall (waiting for Kickstarter 2nd printing)

[@corsa180]

You can order Leaving Earth directly from Lumenaris, but they basically manufacture them on demand, so it can take a while for it to ship. I ended up getting my copy in a math trade.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Oh awesome!!! I might do that.

[@MarathonPhil]

@@FostertheMeeple I happened to be walking around the tiny town of Colfax California last year and passed by a card and gift store called 'Lumenaris' and Leaving Earth was in the window. I already owned the game and the expansion, so I went in and looked around. Nice store! The game is interesting, but be warned, it is very mathy, and also push your luck.

[@mandykowalski2756]

Unmatched Deadpool, how cool is that. First time I habe seen someone talk about that expansion. Have you guys seen Unmatched Buffy?

[@FostertheMeeple]

We have!! Not sure it’s one we add to the collection though. Neither of us really watched the show

Great list! Check out Miniature Market to set an alert for restocks on your account for the Unmatched Bruce Lee and Deadpool characters. Bruce Lee is a great character with chained-attack elements, and Deadpool can be fun and fiddly due to the breaking-the-fourth-wall elements. Both are still listed on the site and have had brief restocks in the past. Also keep an eye out for Panic Rolls' next Townsfolk Tussle campaign later this year. Keep up the content. Cheers!

Oracle of Delphi is very good and in my option one of the best ever pick up and deliver games, but we always play the shorter game with less tasks to complete, otherwise it tends to run on a tad too long. It’s different from anything else Feld designed, in that it is a race to complete the tasks and get back to Zeus, rather than a points salad type of affair. I hope you manage to track a copy down eventually.

I just sold my copy of Monsters of Board. It was a solid idea but the rulebook/iconography isn't great, the box doesn't hold the contents, the minis are too large for the player boards (be prepared to knock shit over trying to pluck a mini out of the horde or from between 2 dice). We only played the 1st expansion and it felt broken (if you get a bad draw of colored cubes, you're going to have significantly less fun than players with an even distribution of colors). All of these things soiled the experience of playing enough that I unloaded our copy asap. Just wanted to share my 2 cents before you shell out a lot of $$$ to get a copy. I was really looking forward to painting MoB too but the minis were just too large. The game would have been better with meeples or cubes 😮‍💨
