Re-Game-a-Thon!
Still kicking yourself for missing the last one? Stop pummeling yourself with your tiny little fists and get out your credit card instead! Fasten your seatbelts. Games are heading your way.
Hi there. Unless I'm denser than usual, I do not believe there is a single link to this blog from your bigcartel site right now. (Luckily I remembered it from the weekend -- I visited it often enough!) You may want to look into that. :-)
psst.the link to this blog is broken it links to:http://gameoftheday.bigcartel.com/product/gameoftheday.blogspot.com when it should only link to:gameoftheday.blogspot.com when it should only link to:
btw thanks for the quick shipping from the last game-a-thon it was like christmas morning this afternoon....couldnt stop giggling like a little school girl watching the fedex guy carry up that huge box....thanks for Blue Moon city...
Dang it! I was really hoping I was going to get out of this without buying anything, and then you go and offer something I asked for last gameathon (St. Petersburg), and naturally my shipment went out already, so I have to pay the $7 shipping again. And now that I've paid, I have to buy at least something else to get my money's worth....
Which item did you see no "pickup" option for? At one point GCO wasn't accepting the local option upon entry, but everything I've been adding lately should have it. Maybe it was an item that was a originally offered when local pickup wasn't available at the time it was created.
Bought my first game from you last night - Pickomino. Played it on BSW a few times, and I've wanted to introduce it to my friends and family (yes, in that order). So now that I'm in, I guess I'm kinda obligated to buy more for the "save5" thing... :)
Whoo, grabbed GIPF quickly (although it wasn't *that* great a deal, even with the combined shipping, I've just been meaning to get it anyway), now they're out of offerings!
Hansa Himalaya Elfenland Dancing Dragons (Tom Wham! W00t!) Travel Blokus Risk 2210 Hamsterrolle War of the Ring Bolide Domaine El Grande Tigris & Euphrates Mare Nostrum Gheos
Some more so than others, natch. And some would need some significant discounting. But... they're what I'd like to see. :-)
Hah, a fourth time for the Carcassone Big Box? Is there a chance of any of my requests being filled? I have a limited amount of moneys and I don't want to hold out to buy something that won't show up and miss out on something I may have gotten otherwise.
brant - yes there is a good chance of at least some of your requests coming up. Also Ingenious can be played solitaire, although it is a very different game because it takes the "defense" aspect away which is one of the things I really like about it.
You know, if you're intent on posting very silly prices for Uberplay games (Tongiaki, Bridges of Shangri-La, etc.), the least you could do is post a very silly price for Hansa. I mean, c'mon.
Looks like there's a bug on the page listing all the games for sale. The Bridges of Shangri-La, A Game of Thrones and Top Secret Spies are still listed, but when you click on the links, it says, "This item has expired, been deleted, or been deactivated." Hitting refresh does not fix the problem.
Note: you don't have to buy things at the same time... in fact you can only buy them one at a time... all I can say is they both have been offered/will be offered during the Game-a-Thon!
Bruce, none of those are currently up now. The ones that are up (at the moment) are: TTR Shogun Bamboleo Saint Petersburg The Difference between women and men.
Strange. On two different computers, I see Shangri-La, Inkognito, Top Secret Spies, A Game of Thrones, Bamboleo, St. Petersburg and Shogun. No TTR and no Differences between men and women.
Viewed in Firefox on comp A, Safari on comp B, and IE on comp C, all show those same products. Not a local browser issue. Perhaps more of a google cache issue?
Ok - the wife is gonna kill me. After Cartegena & Pickomino I also bought Balloon Cups, The Bridges of Shangri-La, and Frank's Zoo. And I don't think I'm done yet...
Argh! I must be stopped! Went away to a friend's to eat drink and be merry, thinking the game-a-thon had ended at 7 pm PST. I return and immediately purchase two must-have games (Imperial and Shogun). Time for sleep, and recovery.
Powergrid with the two expansions Lost Cities Merchants of Amsterdam Shogun
And that is so far.
BTW, I didn't know about the the "game5" shipping discount when I purchased my second game, Lost Cities. Would it be possible to get the $5 discount on that item?
So I'm pretty much tapped out after last weekend's game-a-thon and all of the other games I've been buying but barely have time to play once (if at all)...
But I think I would probably plonk down more money on games (at risk of angering the wife) on Medici.. That didn't crop up in the last game-a-thon, did it? Maybe I missed it.
I'm making a buddy buy it for our gaming group.. And so my wife doesn't come home to another box o' games. :P Once I start buying, I'm sure I'll keep adding to my game-a-thon shipment.
Ack! It's still going on! It's...so beautiful, I can't look away :-P
My current purchase list:
Il Principe, Britannia, Carcassonne Big Box, GIPF, In the Shadow of the Emperor, Saint Petersburg, Lost Cities, Bridges of Shangri-La, Yspahan, Imperial, Shogun
My purchase total is more than $280. But, unless something *really* cool comes up, I'm probably stopping here.
gameoftheday, is there a chance of something like 25% off one later purchase (of $50 or less) for the other 4 of the top 5? It's really cool that you're giving out a free game to the top spender (with that Zopp out there yesterday, I'm betting it's not me), but some sort of peanut to the other big-spenders would also be nice.
I guess we can be thankful for the snowglobe-free Tangathon at this point. Does anyone remember when "Betrayal at House on the Hill" was offered and someone photoshopped in a Snowglobe? Hilarious.
My wife is going to kill me now. Why did you have to put PowerGrid up by itself? The one with expansion was too rich for my blood, but alone.....sigh.....my will is too weak.
Due to extensive feedback, we have shared a sample version of the Professional Letter designed to mitigate SO Glare-age. If you were on the fence before, this should seal the deal.
I must correct my prior statement. Tanga DID offer the board game. Sorry for the error. Please go back to feeling bad. Console yourself with many additional GotD purchases.
there was a flash of a 3 game mystery pack - gone faster than a copy of Die Macher [I mean settlers] I didn't even get a chance to read the description hahaha cruel cruel world!!!!
FYI I am not sure if the Google Checkout thing shows you Google IDs... If it does, I have two... so please don't cancel my order of Samurai because I used Game5. :D
I really really really need to stop watching now....
Dear gameoftheday, Please include a copy of that letter in my package. I ask you this not as a favor, but because if you don't, I won't be able to purchase anymore games from you. Why you ask? Simple, I'll be pushin' up daisies. While 999.99 is a small price to pay for my life, I'd much prefer to pay 999.99 in boardgames. So have a heart, include the letter.
Seeing as this is coming to a close I'm doubting that I'll see Battlelore, Doom, or zombie themed games. Makes me wish I would have picked up normal Carcasonne since I still have yet to play it.
Is there a definite time this will be over by? That is, can I go on my belated lunch hour, or is this about to end? No pressure, but I'm curious. :-) Thanks!
Everyone in the top 5 will get a couple of free items... might even fit in the "appeasement" category... and of course the top slot will get an additional game absolutely free.
We will keep going for a couple more hours yet, but the last chance items are last chance. Not to be offered again. Unless, as you may have noticed, you ask very nicely. LOL
On the one hand: Dang, I don't think I'm going to qualify in the top 5 this time. On the other hand: Yes! I don't don't think I'm going to qualify in the top 5 this time! I have a spine! (sort of)
Oh, I don't mind about not getting Medici, I was just letting others know what was up. I was tempted by the price, but decided that it would have a better home with one of the people who have been clamoring for it.
Rats, I'm going to miss the spectacular finish. I have to leave the office and won't be getting home until after 11pm (Central). Oh well -- it's been fun!

1 – 200 of 251 Newer› Newest»Hmm, so will this be the same games as we saw over the weekend or will there be new stuff thrown in as well?
Also, the description still says it will run through Sunday evening. That would be quite the game-a-thon.
Yikes. gotta change that. If it runs through Sunday I'll be dead.
This will be a mix, a few games you saw already and some you didn't. Also, as before, the top customer will win a free game, shipped absolutely free!
It's all fun and games until, well, you get more games!
Hi there. Unless I'm denser than usual, I do not believe there is a single link to this blog from your bigcartel site right now. (Luckily I remembered it from the weekend -- I visited it often enough!) You may want to look into that. :-)
crash, what do you think so far?
psst.the link to this blog is broken it links to:http://gameoftheday.bigcartel.com/product/gameoftheday.blogspot.com
when it should only link to:gameoftheday.blogspot.com
when it should only link to:
you might want to change that man..
btw thanks for the quick shipping from the last game-a-thon it was like christmas morning this afternoon....couldnt stop giggling like a little school girl watching the fedex guy carry up that huge box....thanks for Blue Moon city...
not tongiaki....booo!
Dang it! I was really hoping I was going to get out of this without buying anything, and then you go and offer something I asked for last gameathon (St. Petersburg), and naturally my shipment went out already, so I have to pay the $7 shipping again. And now that I've paid, I have to buy at least something else to get my money's worth....
What's a spineless geek like me to do? :-)
Bah! this AND a tangathon! How dare you :-)
What happened to the "pick up" option ?- it seems that we have to use normal shipping now...
Which item did you see no "pickup" option for? At one point GCO wasn't accepting the local option upon entry, but everything I've been adding lately should have it. Maybe it was an item that was a originally offered when local pickup wasn't available at the time it was created.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any of the re-game-a-thon until just now. I actually had to go to bed this time around. ;)
Now I'm at work (and have meetings all morning, likely), but maybe I'll actually catch a game or two. Did I miss anything interesting overnight?
Bought my first game from you last night - Pickomino. Played it on BSW a few times, and I've wanted to introduce it to my friends and family (yes, in that order). So now that I'm in, I guess I'm kinda obligated to buy more for the "save5" thing... :)
woops - I meant "game5". which I just realized when I bought Cartegena (another I found on BSW and want to play with my kids).
You're taking requests, right? ;-)
How 'bout:
St Petersburg
TTR Europe
Carcassonne Hunters & Gatherers
Hummm... anything else??
Oh No! I missed the beginning!
Pickomino and Cartegena!
Any chance that those will second chance!?
does anyone keep track of what games have been put up already as well as prices?
Here's my request list:
• BattleLore
• Battle Line
• Reef Encounter
• Santiago
• Yspahan
• Primordial Soup
• The Scepter of Zavandor
• Notre Dame
• No Thanks!
• Taluva
• The Downfall of Pompeii
• Battlestations
• Perikles
• Factory Fun
• Kreta
Thanks!
Whoo, grabbed GIPF quickly (although it wasn't *that* great a deal, even with the combined shipping, I've just been meaning to get it anyway), now they're out of offerings!
Perhaps I spoke too soon...
The site's been doing some weird loading-previous-offers-which-are-now-deleted sort of thing (and yes, I've been clearing my cache regularly).
Oh!
I second the request for Yspahan and The Downfall of Pompeii
Ack! I missed Cartagena?!?!
I get a chance to check again and there are no games? Did the re-game-a-thon end already?
Well, you missed a second offering of St. Petersburg, as well as the aforementioned GIPF. I imagine another will be up shortly.
YEAH!
Thanks for the Cartagena!
Why is there no BUY button on Franks zoo?
Yup, there's a problem with Frank's Zoo... no BUY button.
Thanks for pointing out the issue on Frank's Zoo. That would explain why no one has bought it, LOL.
Thanks, try it now
Blue Moon please? I missed the beginning but I'm here now! :D
I doubt you have any games to offer that can be played single player, do you? :/
Barring that, I wouldn't mind seeing Battlelore, Doom, Ingenious, or anything zombie themed. I just need to find someone to play with...
Brant, where do you live? Antarctica?
Post a thread on boardgamegeek.com about looking for players in your hometown. You'll find many!
Is it over?
Guess not! Traders and Builders! Excellent.
Please don't put the carrcassone big box up there for an insaine cheap price. I might not be strong enough...
Must resist, must resist, must wait for the big box!
Big box has already been up twice...
Don't cave to an anonymous coward! Stick to your guns. Battlelore calls :-)
Blue Moon!! Please?
Hmmm...
World in War, Combined Arms 1939 - 1945 is a bit steep.
Games in a Box has it for $26.95.
"Games in a Box has it for $26.95."
Well yeah, but that's a special sale price. That's not Games in a Box's usual price for that game.
GameoftheDay said...
Big box has already been up twice...
----
Could not resist... third time was the charm... I was weak! forgive me children no college fund for you!
so much shame! so much fun!
[bah they will play the game before I do - who am I kidding!]
Die Macher's great.. Too bad I already own it. I've only had a chance to play it once, but I can't wait to get it on the table again.
Yikes, I hit the wrong button when I was trying to get my "game5" coupon in. Am I screwed?
Love the Re-Game-a-Thon, by the way. There goes all my spending money.
My requests are as follows:
Caylus
BattleLore
Twilight Struggle
Already have Die Macher, else I would've grabbed it! Since everyone else is doing wishlists...
-Yspahan
-18XX
-Imperial
-Age of Steam (currently OOP)
They don't *all* have to be feasible, right?
I'd like to see:
Hansa
Himalaya
Elfenland
Dancing Dragons (Tom Wham! W00t!)
Travel Blokus
Risk 2210
Hamsterrolle
War of the Ring
Bolide
Domaine
El Grande
Tigris & Euphrates
Mare Nostrum
Gheos
Some more so than others, natch. And some would need some significant discounting. But... they're what I'd like to see. :-)
One more vote for Gheos and Yspahan
Here's another vote for "Mare Nostrum". I didn't include it in my earlier list because I thought it might be out-of-print.
Okay, the Bridges of Shangri-La description made me laugh. :-)
"Okay, the Bridges of Shangri-La description made me laugh. :-):
It made me buy!
That too. :-)
Gheos!
Yspahan!
Blue Moon!
Also maybe a second chance at TTR?
Hah, a fourth time for the Carcassone Big Box? Is there a chance of any of my requests being filled? I have a limited amount of moneys and I don't want to hold out to buy something that won't show up and miss out on something I may have gotten otherwise.
brant - yes there is a good chance of at least some of your requests coming up. Also Ingenious can be played solitaire, although it is a very different game because it takes the "defense" aspect away which is one of the things I really like about it.
I'd also much rather buy Shangri-La from you than the evil Tanga people... but I think I missed it?
Ticket to Ride, please
Yspahan!
Yeessssss!
Thanks!!!!
hmm. yspahan didn't last long.
Er? Eh? When was Yspahan up? How much was it?
it was $14.99.
no, pick yourself off the floor, 30.99. there may be a second chance opportunity later.
Drat! Missed "Yspahan"...
Oh, okay. Whew!
Though I own it already, Warrior Knights sure came and went in a hurry!
You know, if you're intent on posting very silly prices for Uberplay games (Tongiaki, Bridges of Shangri-La, etc.), the least you could do is post a very silly price for Hansa. I mean, c'mon.
You guys stick closer to my wishlist that Santa!
This rocks!
Any chance of a Gheos or Pompei?
Just wait a little while. I've got to go coach a soccer game :)
How about Street Soccer, Dynasties or Shogun? I would love to see those games show up at a discount.
Any chance of seeing Cave Troll? I seem to miss it every time that it's offered.
ticket to ride!!!
I will buy lost cities and ticket to ride if they are up at the same time :)
Looks like there's a bug on the page listing all the games for sale. The Bridges of Shangri-La, A Game of Thrones and Top Secret Spies are still listed, but when you click on the links, it says, "This item has expired, been deleted, or been deactivated." Hitting refresh does not fix the problem.
Note: you don't have to buy things at the same time... in fact you can only buy them one at a time... all I can say is they both have been offered/will be offered during the Game-a-Thon!
Bruce, none of those are currently up now. The ones that are up (at the moment) are:
TTR
Shogun
Bamboleo
Saint Petersburg
The Difference between women and men.
Not sure why you page isn't refreshing.
Strange. On two different computers, I see Shangri-La, Inkognito, Top Secret Spies, A Game of Thrones, Bamboleo, St. Petersburg and Shogun. No TTR and no Differences between men and women.
I currently see all of those as well, and the only one that goes to a purchase page is Bamboleo
I see Bridges, Incognito, Game of Thrones, Top secret spies, Bambelo, and Shogun, but only Bambelo says it is listed. What's going on?
I just saw -- and bought -- Yspahan, though I don't know if I really should have been able to...
I am seeing them and able to go to the BUY button. Are you still having issues?
ARGH!! So frustrating, I can see Shogun, I can hear Shogun, but I CAN'T BUY IT! Because it says Product Not Found!
aaron, unfortunately you have gregg g to thank for that, as he snagged it
I see timestamps......
yeah, but usually the item goes away when there is none available. How come it is still showing?
I don't have Shogun either. Mine says:
Bamboleo
The Difference between Women and Men
Carcassonne: Hunters & Gatherers
TransAmerica
Zopp
Ticket to Ride
Aaron, I think it may be because you are hoping to predict the future?
Still seeing the problem. 7:24 p.m. PST
Look at all the pretty games…PSYCH!
I guess I can resist Shogun after all :(
Is this the link you are using?
http://base.google.com/base/search?authorid=1580994&hl=en&gl=US
Seeing
Incognito
Game of Thrones
Bamboleo
2nd chance St. Petersburg
Shogun
Can't buy any of them. 9:35pm CST
I am wondering if you need to clear cache and cookies if you've been pounding the refresh keys...
Yup, that is the link!
http://base.google.com/base/search?authorid=1580994&hl=en&gl=US
hmm. Aaron everything you are seeing is old. currently up is Zopp, Carc: P&D, Carc H*G, TTR, and TransAmerica
Yes, that's the same link. I am using IE 7, if that matters. Everything was working fine until about 1.5 hours ago.
Viewed in Firefox on comp A, Safari on comp B, and IE on comp C, all show those same products. Not a local browser issue. Perhaps more of a google cache issue?
I'm having the same prob.
Cleared cache. Quit browser. Restarted. Reset cache again.
Still see Shogun.
It's a sign!!
Only seeing Inkognito, Bamboleo and Shogun now. So, something is changing.
any chance of Game o' Thrones coming back?
Gudo, yes, there is a chance. pretty good one, actually.
Ok - the wife is gonna kill me. After Cartegena & Pickomino I also bought Balloon Cups, The Bridges of Shangri-La, and Frank's Zoo. And I don't think I'm done yet...
sweet...thanks, bro
see if it's cleared up now... I'm seeing "published and searchable" instead of "searchable soon" on this side now.
Yeah, looks like it is cleared up. Thanks!
Looks like it's cleared up here too. Now which games did I miss out on ... :)
I was seeing the same games, see new ones but now having issues again with them having expired...
Yeah, Carcassone P&D, H&G, and Transamerica are all showing and being not found. Zopp is still up though! :-)
Yep, both Carcs are expired. Only Zopp is available. I wonder what is causing all these problems.
I'm seeing things stuck in "searchable soon" mode again... which probably means you can't get to Attika, Yspahan, Dragonriders, or Arkadia, right?
http://base.google.com/base/a/1580994/D10009588066970664637
Ysphen I could see, none of the others though.
I can see Arkadia now
you should see them all now
Woot! I got Shogun! Rock and Roll! Thanks
and yes, I see them all. The flood gates have open. My cup runeth over.
Is it really $7 to ship the Princess and the Dragon? I thought it was a small expansion, like the other Carc expansions. Huh. Now I know....
Breity... you're right, it is. I'll change it now and refund anyone who bought it at $7.00 shipping the $2.00.
*weep* My bank account! My credit card!
I'm telling myself that it's okay because I'm buying birthday presents at this point, if not Christmas ones. lol.
Thanks for adjusting it! I'm now a proud owner. :-) (My first Carc expansion! Woo hoo!)
I think he went to sleep, there's nothing updating...
If I had more money I'd buy Shogun and Ra, but since I don't I need to wait for something extra special that I need _right now_.
Argh! I must be stopped! Went away to a friend's to eat drink and be merry, thinking the game-a-thon had ended at 7 pm PST. I return and immediately purchase two must-have games (Imperial and Shogun). Time for sleep, and recovery.
This Game-A-Thon is gonna break me. lol
I've purchased:
Powergrid with the two expansions
Lost Cities
Merchants of Amsterdam
Shogun
And that is so far.
BTW, I didn't know about the the "game5" shipping discount when I purchased my second game, Lost Cities. Would it be possible to get the $5 discount on that item?
Keep up the great deals.
Thanks
Kevin Rutherford
Because I know you all care about how weak I am, here is my current purchase list:
Pickomino, Cartagena, Frank's Zoo, Baloon Cup, The Bridges of Shangri-La, Lost Cities, Mü & More, & King's Breakfast.
I'm definitely loving the deals on the smaller games from last night. And once again, I don't think I'm done buying. :|
Kevin, we will adjust once we sort through the orders.
Thanks so much for that, GOTD.
Sorry for the listing error a moment ago. Quite a difference between Tigris & Euphrates vs. Euphrates & Tigris.
So I'm pretty much tapped out after last weekend's game-a-thon and all of the other games I've been buying but barely have time to play once (if at all)...
But I think I would probably plonk down more money on games (at risk of angering the wife) on Medici.. That didn't crop up in the last game-a-thon, did it? Maybe I missed it.
It did pop up in the last Game-A-Thon. But that doesn't exclude it from making an appearance...
Wow, that was fast!
I'm making a buddy buy it for our gaming group.. And so my wife doesn't come home to another box o' games. :P Once I start buying, I'm sure I'll keep adding to my game-a-thon shipment.
Yeah, I just picked up Medici after CrashCart pointed me to your site. Thanks!
Bummer. I would have picked up a Medici if I had seen it.
Thought about Medici when I saw it, but I picked up San Juan instead. Been wanting if for a while, and the shipping was covered with the discount. :)
Ack! It's still going on! It's...so beautiful, I can't look away :-P
My current purchase list:
Il Principe, Britannia, Carcassonne Big Box, GIPF, In the Shadow of the Emperor, Saint Petersburg, Lost Cities, Bridges of Shangri-La, Yspahan, Imperial, Shogun
My purchase total is more than $280. But, unless something *really* cool comes up, I'm probably stopping here.
gameoftheday, is there a chance of something like 25% off one later purchase (of $50 or less) for the other 4 of the top 5? It's really cool that you're giving out a free game to the top spender (with that Zopp out there yesterday, I'm betting it's not me), but some sort of peanut to the other big-spenders would also be nice.
Eric... $280 is competitive. FYI, Zopp has not been purchased yet, no doubt the possibility exists that it could put someone over the top.
We'll mull it over based on where things end up. It's a good idea.
Scrapbook, anyone?
Ask and ye shall receive. Medici purchased. Thanks!
By the way, I did buy two of the Tanga scrapbooking kits since my sister scrapbooks and her birthday is coming up.
I guess we can be thankful for the snowglobe-free Tangathon at this point. Does anyone remember when "Betrayal at House on the Hill" was offered and someone photoshopped in a Snowglobe? Hilarious.
If only that really were Tigris and Euphrates for $13.99 and $5.00 shipping..
Oh wait so you have to be the top spender to et a free game?
That won't be me...
Do I get something for sugesting this whole undercutting of tanga tactic? ;)
On a separate note. I got my items from the previous game-a-thon today. Thanks!
My wife is going to kill me now. Why did you have to put PowerGrid up by itself? The one with expansion was too rich for my blood, but alone.....sigh.....my will is too weak.
Since I'm really seriously nearing my end here.... I will put up some requests that I may still be willing to give you money for.... ;)
Blue Moon (!!)
Shear Panic
Taluva (!) (I missed it.)
Gheos (!!)
Better hurry on the letter. It's a hot seller.
I am soooo buying the professional letter. :)
That letter is too funny. Thanks for the laugh!
Okay, so did Tigris & Euphrates show up, or did the Euphrates & Tigris card game show up? I am so confused.
I also completely missed T&E showing up on Tanga, dangnabit.
Both Tanga and GotD were featuring the card game, which inexplicably has the name "board game" in its title.
Tanga had the card game up? Huh. Well, I don't feel so bad then!
Thanks!
Due to extensive feedback, we have shared a sample version of the Professional Letter designed to mitigate SO Glare-age. If you were on the fence before, this should seal the deal.
I must correct my prior statement. Tanga DID offer the board game. Sorry for the error. Please go back to feeling bad. Console yourself with many additional GotD purchases.
I really think the top five spenders should receive that letter for free, as a rather hilarious reward. ;-)
Oh, sadness....
See, you have another silly low price for yet another Uberplay game (Hoity Toity). C'mon, be a pal: Hansa at a silly low price beckons....
wow, letter is lasting longer than I thought.
Tangathon is over. They finished with Battlelore for $39.99.
Well, the tangathon is done . . . ended with Battlelore up for like 30 seconds.
GoTD - I definitely bought more from y'all than tanga! Thanks for the deals!!!!
Wait - are you done here?
Yeah, I missed the Battlelore. It wasn't big enough of a difference in price for it to be a huge deal though.
I picked up Ingenious so far, so I have a little bit of money left *wink wink*
$40 for BattleLore at Tanga $8 shipping? Wow, suckload of suck -- that's awful. Especially for ending a Tangathon.
I'm a sucker for the Mystery Game packs. I hope Zopp will be one of the games. ;)
I'm so tempted for the mystery games, but it might be too expensive for me :/ Too bad it wasn't a two game mystery pack for a bit cheaper.
Blue Moon City's up! Everyone, now's your chance!
Of course, Shogun, Australia and Yspahan in the Mystery 3 pack wouldn't be too bad either.
Tanga's done. We're not quite done yet, but getting closer.
there was a flash of a 3 game mystery pack - gone faster than a copy of Die Macher [I mean settlers] I didn't even get a chance to read the description hahaha cruel cruel world!!!!
FYI I am not sure if the Google Checkout thing shows you Google IDs... If it does, I have two... so please don't cancel my order of Samurai because I used Game5. :D
I really really really need to stop watching now....
I seriously stopped watching the tanga trash long ago.
This GotD is my new Dr. Feelgood.
And the Alhambra Dice thank you sealed the deal!!
No Buy button for Carc the city.
Dear gameoftheday,
Please include a copy of that letter in my package. I ask you this not as a favor, but because if you don't, I won't be able to purchase anymore games from you. Why you ask? Simple, I'll be pushin' up daisies. While 999.99 is a small price to pay for my life, I'd much prefer to pay 999.99 in boardgames. So have a heart, include the letter.
Crossing my fingers,
Aaron
Yup, no BUY button on Carcassone City.
Wantin' to buy Carcassonne City, but no BUY button... ;-)
Makin' it just a bit more challenging, but easier on my wallet!
WoW!
Caylus didn't last long!
Seeing as this is coming to a close I'm doubting that I'll see Battlelore, Doom, or zombie themed games. Makes me wish I would have picked up normal Carcasonne since I still have yet to play it.
Sorry for the mysteriously missing "buy" button on Carc the City. It's fixed now.
You're kidding me? I missed Caylus?
Is there a definite time this will be over by? That is, can I go on my belated lunch hour, or is this about to end? No pressure, but I'm curious. :-) Thanks!
Things I can't/couldn't justify now but would buy in the next Gameathon (PLEASE no more this month!!!):
Elfenland
Australia
Yspahan
Just FYI.
I will still buy any of my other requests though... this gameathon... if they come back...:D
Any chance of a last chance Samurai?
Or did I miss my chance.
Sweet!!
Thanks for the samurai!
Cave Troll please??? Or did I miss it yet again?
Arghh! Missed Alhambra Dice?!!
One Last, Last chance?
Wooo, I got California for $8.99, now all I need is the stand alone Carcasonne or Battlelore...
Alhambra Dice are back up!
California was up for eight bucks? Dang it!
Sweet, thanks for the stand alone Carcassone.
Everyone in the top 5 will get a couple of free items... might even fit in the "appeasement" category... and of course the top slot will get an additional game absolutely free.
We will keep going for a couple more hours yet, but the last chance items are last chance. Not to be offered again. Unless, as you may have noticed, you ask very nicely. LOL
keep you eyes open for thank you pricing as well.
There goes Medici for 10 bucks
On the one hand: Dang, I don't think I'm going to qualify in the top 5 this time. On the other hand: Yes! I don't don't think I'm going to qualify in the top 5 this time! I have a spine! (sort of)
:-)
yes, but Brant, you scored California for $8.99 and King's Breakfast for $3.99. So you're doing okay...
Oh, I don't mind about not getting Medici, I was just letting others know what was up. I was tempted by the price, but decided that it would have a better home with one of the people who have been clamoring for it.
I can't believe I just bought Power Grid. That was something I never thought I'd ever own. Curse you, GOTD! Curse yoooouuuu!
breity, everyone is going to curse you when they find out you paid $23.99 for it.
Oh fine, make them hate me, why don't you? :-)
Though whoever managed to play with royal food for a paltry $3.99 has gotta be pretty stoked.
Rats, I'm going to miss the spectacular finish. I have to leave the office and won't be getting home until after 11pm (Central). Oh well -- it's been fun!
Do you ever take suggestions/requests for the normal game of the day?
ahhhhhhhh! I thought I was done, but Hollywood Blockbuster!
Reiner Knizia is my new crack....
We do try to honor requests for regular games of the day as well.
Good to hear. Well, what I wouldn't mind seeing is the new Kill Doctor Lucky or, if it's even possible, a random collection of Cheap Ass Games titles.
I don't think mine is updating properly... I still see Underground even though when I click it it's gone.
This will probably look like the conclusion of a fireworks display.
Final items, if you see something you want, grab it because there's only one of each so once it's gone, it's gone.
Don't forget to come back and check here for the winning list. It will take me some time to compile...
