Thats the one thing about Tanga and any Uberplay games: They can't be beaten on price. Why? Because two of Tanga's owners own Uberplay. Tanga gets factory direct distributor pricing.
I can't complain. All of the Uberplay games I have I enjoy very much! Well.....except for Double or Nothing that I got in TT. I own about 6 uberplay games I think :)
I'm really wondering if Uberplay is getting out of the game business. They let several of there game licenses expire most notable one being Ra. I know they aren't doing Hoity Toity anymore, too. They don't have many games in their product line in comparison to Mayfair or Rio Grande so I wonder if Tanga is there for them to clear out all of their inventory.
I like the Uberplay games I have, too. Aquadukt and China are great. Saga is solid. Buy Low Sell High is good, and Relationship Tightrope is a better game than BGG would have you believe. Only one I got (in a Tanga package deal) that I didn't like was Shakespeare: the Bard Game.
I am a big fan of Tongiaki, which doesn't get a lot of love either some times. Great game for the price IMO, and the component quality is top notch in most Uberplay games
Yes, Jeremy owns 'em both. And there have not been any recent announcements of anything new being added to the Uberplay line. It's a tough business when trying to publish high quality, meaty games because unfortunately the market just isn't that big. Meanwhile the giants can spew out tripe that flies off the shelves of every WalMart.
I got my Nexes Ops for $10 on Amazon.. they had a package deal and if you bought it with Vegas Showdown they combined the @ $4 shipping. Seems like if you want just one that would be the way to go.

First?
Yes, making me 2nd at best. It's happened twice now. You and Gregg M.
Aquadukt for $14 is a pretty good deal over at Tanga.
yep, I picked it up
Or 3 for $30, even better. I got it a month ago from Tanga and have several people hooked on it.

I hope not :( They are a great source of reasonably priced good games.

Two of their best gateway games are For Sale and Hoity Toity. I really love them both. And Hansa is a great strategy game.

I bought 3 Tongiaki in the last Tangathon. FedEx says it's coming tomorrow. Looks fun.
oh, and Arkham Horror is a great game :) I picked it up recently and play it solitaire :) I have a great time with it.
Welcome to the "first post" club, roxjoo! :)
Hurry... Nexus OPs and Vegas Showdown DID show up at Tanga... $25 for the pair.

Uh oh... r0xjo0 where are you? don't miss your chance at the Vegas/Nexus grab!
Actually been waiting for Nexus ops since the last tangathon. Not really interested in Vegas showdown though.

Didn't miss it, but I was sleeping when it was posted. Fortunatly, it lasted about 10 hours :D
I know I could have picked it up at etoys for about the same price, but I would rather support Tanga.
Furthermore, it doesn't hurt that I had $10 credit at Tanga for the puzzlethon awhile back.
5 minutes for Hansa at $11.99 plus shipping. Damn work!
I know I wanted Hasna really bad and that is a good deal! Damn graduate school!
any ideas on the shipping date of the game-a-thon orders Eric?
I convinced my wife to buy Hansa, so we lucked out I guess...
I have liked all of Schacht's games that I have played (except Industria, good thing that was a cheap Tanga buy), so I am happy to add another one.
I wouldn't mind a shipping date ETA myself...
We had over a quarter ton of games delivered today and shipping will begin immediately.
Colosseum's up... $29.99 plus shipping on tanga
