If you purchased a game(s)during the last Game-a-thon, can you use the "game5" coupon on you first purchase tonight, or do you need to purchase 1 tonight at full shipping before using "game5"?
This blog is live, but the Game of the Day operator is probably asleep right now -- he lives on the east coast. The action will probably pick up significantly tomorrow a.m.
So he starts a Game-a-thon, and then 1 hour later goes to sleep?? Wow, that makes me want to hang around and see what's coming up. Guess since there won't be any change in the offerings for the next several hours I won't bother staying.
Have none of the previous gameathon items shipped, or have some of them shipped and some not? If none of them have shipped, then we can certainly reduce the number of times you have to answer the question:
can I use the game5 coupon to combine from the last gameathon?
Some have shipped, some have not. We ran out of stock on the following games so if your order included one of these, your order probably has not shipped:
Ysapahan Bolide Imperial Shogun Frank's Zoo
Eric, your order has not shipped so you are good to go. However, you don't have to worry either way... if I haven't shipped yet and you don't enter the coupon, I'll catch it and refund it to you anyway.
So if we didn't order any of the games on the list, our orders have probably gone out, and we shouldn't use the "game5" coupon on the first order this time around?
"game5" wasn't working for me when I purchased Arkadia just now, fyi, but I bought it anyway since I know you'll fix it. I didn't see Arkadia until just now, about half an hour after it was apparently posted. Weird.
According to Google Checkout, my previous purchases are "In Process" and not shipped yet, so I used the shipping coupon on my order tonight. Hope it works.
I will not be buying it, as my finances took a major nosedive since the last GOTD (just had to cough up $900 to fix my car... today!), but that game is seriously cool.
Clans mocks me because I didn't buy it yesterday. :) It shows up on the GCO list, yet tells me "This item has expired, been deleted, or been deactivated" when I click on it.
Clans is a fun game, but I am thinking this Game-A-Thon blows chunks. The last one didn't really have anythign I wanted to be in on either actually. WAs more interested in the Tanga games. Unfortunately they are selling out a lot faster, becuase of the price differential
I got Lucky Loop in a Tanga point auction. I was disappointed when it showed up as the German version. Fortunately, the actual color pdf of the English rules was on BGG otherwise I'd have been screwed.
Don't know if my order shipped (assuming it hasn't since I ordered Frank's Zoo). I did buy Ra this morning, though, so if it can all be combined, I'm fine with that...
I'll probably be buying a few more. Assuming I do, which coupon do I use - the 5 or 3?
Well, I definitely won't be in the top 5 this time around. Just as I feared, nothing's really come up that didn't order last time or already have. Oh well. Maybe next time.
I won't be top five this time, partially because I bought so much last time and partially because I've missed the things I want - Altar of Despair, Arkadia and Spirits of Niagara come to mind. Oh well, I probably shouldn't be buying much anyway.
Mike... most of the games to this point weren't offered last time... Zertz, Descent Altar of Despair Expansion, Hermagor, Hacienda, Taj Mahal, Aton, Bolide Expansion, Duckling Dancin', Gardens of Alhambra, Odin's Ravens, Street Illegal, Friedrich, Clans, Mexica, and Louis XIV. Either you missed a lot or your timing has just been off. Some of these will come back, for sure, along with others.
There is an RSS feed button in the top right corner of Game of the Day's Google Base page listing all the games available. I set it up to send me a page every time something is added. It is very slow and unreliable though, but it might be my pager service. You may have better luck than I.
Somebody last time suggested the grease monkey extension for firefox. All you have to do is install it, and where it asks you to put in a script, just put in the following line:
setTimeout("window.location.reload()",20000);
This will reload the page every 20 seconds or so. Simply put in the address of the game of the day google checkout page (http://base.google.com/base/search?nd=&showrefine=&q=&scoring=ld&us=1&authorid=1580994&hl=en&gl=US), and voila! you have yourself an autorefresher.
Newbie to the site (i've been watching GoTD for awhile, but never saw the blog until today). I have a couple of requests...
Runebound: Sands of Al-Kalim expansion, or any of the little expansions (I have the other large ones).
Thurn & Taxis + Expansion. I was broke when that showed up last week (or the week before).
Battlelore Tamsk A Game of Thrones: Crown of Kings expansion.
That's it. There are lots of games on other people's lists too, so I won't list all of them. Sorry if I'm violating some sort of rules by being a newbie and posting a list here :).
I'm not so sure an FFG-themed game-a-thon would be a good thing. On the one hand it would be awesome, but my credit card might catch fire and that would be bad.
I'm buying too much! Off to a friend's place, to avoid more spending. Hopefully the madness will end soon - if not, Power Grid Expansions alone and Bolide Expansion certainly make my list...
Is this the end of the game-a-thon? No offense, but the current crop of games look like the warehouse dust collectors akin to Tanga's German copies of Lucky Loop and Vegas Showdown/Nexus Ops...
gameoftheday, I have just recently started playing of the longer multiplayer games and card driven wargames. This weekend I played Here I Stand and I'd love to get a copy of that. I have also been very close to picking up Wellington over the last couple of days. Revolution: The Dutch Revolt is another that I have enjoyed and would like to pick up.
LOL, yes it would be better if you shipped it to me at my work address. Unfortunately, I'm a roving contractor, never knowing just where my next gig will be at. Hmm...maybe I need one of those unnamed postal boxes just for my GOTD purchases? :-)
yes, Kevin is right... the Google automated editor disallows a lot of words, many innocuous, like invest, bank, etc. - and I don't want to wait for the exception process because that would delay the posting for at least a day.
Wow, lots of good stuff, too bad I used up the rest of my gaming allowance for the rest of the month on the 2 expansions tonight. Thanks all, and good luck with the rest of the game-a-thon.
Crap, I forgot the game5 coupon on Twilight Struggle. Yes, I'm willing to wait a week for shipment (hoping that it includes a letter for my wife) :-) Can I still apply the shipping discount?
Eric, I hate you. I can't see myself ever actually playing "Here I Stand" or "Twilight Struggle", but I bought them anyway. Now you're NEVER going to get that extra copy of "Arkadia" back! Mwahaha!
Eric, I'm with Mike. If you think Yspahan will be about the same amount of time as Here I Stand will be to ship out can I get the game5 code put on my Here I Stand order? Thanks
Oh man, just got back into the house and all the stuff I wanted is in! I guess I'm not out of this round completely - brutal, just brutal.
What are the chances of Indonesia? Or the Catan Struggle for Rome game? I could also suggest a bunch of more obscure wargames, but, uh, I'm probably pushing my luck (and bank account!).
I just purchased Tichu and set it to delivery + game5 so that I could try to get the 1 dollar discount, even though I plan to pick it up. Is that okay? I figured people who are doing delivery are saving a buck off the game if they have purchased so... Let me know if it isnt...
Would love to have, Pitchcar Mini and expansions, Powergrid Expansions without the Powergrid game (I already have that), and additional Runebond expansions.
Could you tell me what the four mystery card games were in the last Game-A-Thon that I purchased. I'd like to know what they were so that I don't buy a second of those games as I'm interested in getting Tichu.
One of two games would make my game-a-thon experience complete. If I could get either Cave Troll or Runebound Island of Dread expansion that would be tremendous.
I'd love to see Medici vs. Strozzi and Factory Fun, since you've put everything else up I've asked for. Oh, except Indonesia, but I figured that was a longshot anyway.
There were a couple but they disappeared quickly and I was more focused on enhancing the selection on this one. The next Game-A-Thon may have more Thank You opportunities.
Definitely not a one-time thing. You'll also notice we didn't do mystery packs this time. Something to watch out for next time!
Given the choice between better selection and mystery packs, I'd go with the former. Whenever I break down and get one of the mystery deals from Tanga I invariably get something I already have.
With out mystery packs, you at least won't get a duplicate of something you buy here. A few enterprising individuals have posted their "already own" lists and I honor that as best I can too (though some folks already seem to own almost everything!)
This game-a-thon has been loads of fun, and my credit card company loves me. Hey, I get cash back so that's more that I'll have later. Thanks Eric and GOTD for a great game-a-thon.
The last two games were Thurn and Taxis for 17.99 and In the Shadow of the Emperor for 12.99.
I didn't get Shadow, as I'd already purchased it in the last gameathon, but T&T was successfully nabbed.
Actually, it brings up an interesting question. If a "thanks" game comes up for a game you've purchased for a higher price earlier in the 'thon, can you cancel the old order and get the "thank you" cost? It would seem unfair to you, Eric, but then again, you might be okay with it.
Thanks! Yeah, I picked up Thurn & Taxis three game-a-thons ago (what was that... two weeks? less?) for more than $17.99! Ah well. Thanks for the update! :-)
Wow this was a great one, I didn't think I"d buy anything, but ARcadia, Twilight and Antike was too much to pass up. My game room is now filled with games I've always wanted.

i had my fingers crossed, but I knew you'd pull the trigger!
Oh god, Clans.
I can't be in this one.
Unless you got a copy of Blue Moon already....
Any chance of Louis XIV in the 'thon?
Well, figures all this started just before bedtime. I'll be up for a bit but I hope I can find some items I'd like tomorrow.
How about Rum & Pirates?
Mmmmmm…Pirates.
I'm still crossing my fingers for Gheos or Downfall of Pompei.
If you purchased a game(s)during the last Game-a-thon, can you use the "game5" coupon on you first purchase tonight, or do you need to purchase 1 tonight at full shipping before using "game5"?
Yeah, if i can combine shipping with my previous order im in on this tanga/gameathon war, if not i'm out.
This this blog "live"? Is this the correct place to ask a question about the Game-a-thon??
This blog is live, but the Game of the Day operator is probably asleep right now -- he lives on the east coast. The action will probably pick up significantly tomorrow a.m.
So he starts a Game-a-thon, and then 1 hour later goes to sleep?? Wow, that makes me want to hang around and see what's coming up. Guess since there won't be any change in the offerings for the next several hours I won't bother staying.
Night all.
I was trying to hang in there, but I think I'm the only one still awake.
No, the operator is still awake, but I am on the east coast.
Nate, you can combine as your order hasn't shipped.
I'm sorry ubidubi, I'm not sure what your screen name translates into, if you let me know I can tell you whether you can combine.
Rum & Pirates... by request
Oh god, I don't think I can take another one so soon. Unless my order hasn't shipped...
Joshua... it has not yet shipped
The shipping cost for Street Illegal is listed as $5 in the item and $7 when I go to check out.
Hello GameOfTheDay:
I purchased several games at the last gameathon. What info do you need to tell if my games have shipped so I can use the shipping coupon?
Have none of the previous gameathon items shipped, or have some of them shipped and some not? If none of them have shipped, then we can certainly reduce the number of times you have to answer the question:
can I use the game5 coupon to combine from the last gameathon?
(P.S. can I? If Arkadia comes up...)
Some have shipped, some have not. We ran out of stock on the following games so if your order included one of these, your order probably has not shipped:
Ysapahan
Bolide
Imperial
Shogun
Frank's Zoo
Eric, your order has not shipped so you are good to go. However, you don't have to worry either way... if I haven't shipped yet and you don't enter the coupon, I'll catch it and refund it to you anyway.
One other question: there was an interesting-looking racing game that I opted out on and have since regretted - what was it?
I haven't received a "your games are in the mail" e-mail yet, so I figured mine haven't gone out yet. ;-)
Wow, you're actually crazy enough to try to unload another ZOPP. I applaud that. :-)
So if we didn't order any of the games on the list, our orders have probably gone out, and we shouldn't use the "game5" coupon on the first order this time around?
Erm...hm.
"game5" wasn't working for me when I purchased Arkadia just now, fyi, but I bought it anyway since I know you'll fix it. I didn't see Arkadia until just now, about half an hour after it was apparently posted. Weird.
Eric, it was Bolide. You may see it this time around too.
Actually, Nate mentioned he probably would have picked it up last time except... well..
So why not tempt him again?
According to Google Checkout, my previous purchases are "In Process" and not shipped yet, so I used the shipping coupon on my order tonight. Hope it works.
Oooo, Bolide rocks.
I will not be buying it, as my finances took a major nosedive since the last GOTD (just had to cough up $900 to fix my car... today!), but that game is seriously cool.
...and that's about as helpful as I can get at 3:45am. ;-)
I bought a Frank's Zoo last go 'round so I'm jumping in with the assumption my order hasn't shipped.
Sweeet, I'm in for at least a couple more games. Arkadia..hmmmmm
There are a couple of items I'd like to see:
Spirit of Niagara - I've got the original and I'd love to get the expansion.
Settlers of Catan - I know. I know. This is an oldie but I've never ever even played the game.
Thats all I can think of for now.
If the request line is open... ;)
Imperial - I missed it last time
WotR - Battles of the 3rd Age expansion
Carc - The City - missed that one too
ZERTZ
Hive
Notre Dame
If I was making requests I'd say collosus and pillars are at the top of my list maybe even twilight struggle or el grande.
Clans mocks me because I didn't buy it yesterday. :) It shows up on the GCO list, yet tells me "This item has expired, been deleted, or been deactivated" when I click on it.
Eric, what's the best way to arrange pickup of all the games I've bought over the past few weeks?
Argghh!
I missed me Rum & Pirates.
Don't blame Tanga!
Aw man, I missed Altar of Despair and Arkadia! Darn my physical weakness for sleep!
The Tanga/Game-A-Thon war only makes us consumers happy.
Though I am not sure if Tanga Joe knows they are ina war, for sakes they just put up Lucky Loops and some my little pony set
Clans is a fun game, but I am thinking this Game-A-Thon blows chunks. The last one didn't really have anythign I wanted to be in on either actually. WAs more interested in the Tanga games. Unfortunately they are selling out a lot faster, becuase of the price differential
Lucky Loop for $3. I just feel bad I missed out on it. And where is the My Little Pony set? Still hjaven't seen it!
I got Lucky Loop in a Tanga point auction. I was disappointed when it showed up as the German version. Fortunately, the actual color pdf of the English rules was on BGG otherwise I'd have been screwed.
lucky loops at 10 bucks blows as much chunks as lucky loops at 20. The giga pet thing is what i'm referring to.
Thanks GOTD for offering my request: Spirits of Niagara. I snapped that right up.
Kevin, it was a close call, I was leaning toward StakXchange or Lucky Loop, but went with "Shpirits" instead.
I noticed after the last game-a-thon people use this and post requests...
I would like to see..
the Thurn & Taxis expansion
and some things I think are OOP but figured might as well ask...
Age of Steam
Railroad Tycoon
Vinci
I would like to see somethign that doesn't cost less at Thoughthammer.
Don't know if my order shipped (assuming it hasn't since I ordered Frank's Zoo). I did buy Ra this morning, though, so if it can all be combined, I'm fine with that...
I'll probably be buying a few more. Assuming I do, which coupon do I use - the 5 or 3?
Oh - and if your entertaining requests, I wouldn't mind seeing:
TTR 1910 Expansion
Apparently, Gurkie, you weren't the only one waiting for Power & Glory!
you mean I missed it??? ARGH! I totally didnt see it, do you have more?
Gregg, use the game5 coupon.
john n; see every game we have listed so far. They all accommodate your request.
gurkie, it was up about as long as games last at Tanga.
i dont know whether you posted another or what but it reappeared and i got it! thanks.
gurkie, I did. Just for you. :)
Well, I definitely won't be in the top 5 this time around. Just as I feared, nothing's really come up that didn't order last time or already have. Oh well. Maybe next time.
I won't be top five this time, partially because I bought so much last time and partially because I've missed the things I want - Altar of Despair, Arkadia and Spirits of Niagara come to mind. Oh well, I probably shouldn't be buying much anyway.
Here's my request list, revised from the last Game-a-thon (I hope these are all in print...):
• BattleLore
• Struggle of Empires
• Battle Line
• Reef Encounter
• Santiago
• Hive
• Blokus
• Jambo
• Primordial Soup
• The Scepter of Zavandor
• Notre Dame
• No Thanks!
• Taluva
• The Downfall of Pompeii
• Battlestations
• Perikles
• Factory Fun
• Ave Caesar
• Kreta
I got Yspahan, Bolide, and Ingenious in the last Game-a-thon and have purchased Friedrich and the Bolide expansion tracks in this one. Thanks!
If he puts up struggles of empire, mom's not getting a mother's day present.
kidding, mom's mother's day president will be 75 dollars - the cost of struggle of empire
If I hit reload enough, I'll see a game I didn't buy last time, right?
Erin, I wasn't sure if that was "Oh God, Clans" like yuck, or "Oh God, Clans" like stop tempting me, you bastard!
I'm thinking the latter. In fact, I was kinda bummed to see it up there as a "phantom" item for so long!!!
Not tempting me, but almost rubbing it in that I missed it! :)
Mike... most of the games to this point weren't offered last time... Zertz, Descent Altar of Despair Expansion, Hermagor, Hacienda, Taj Mahal, Aton, Bolide Expansion, Duckling Dancin', Gardens of Alhambra, Odin's Ravens, Street Illegal, Friedrich, Clans, Mexica, and Louis XIV. Either you missed a lot or your timing has just been off. Some of these will come back, for sure, along with others.
"Hint and ye shall receive."
Thanks for Clans!
I'd like the Ticket to Ride: USA 1910 expansion too!
Oh, and my broken record request from last time: Hansa.
Turn the Tide would be fun. And cheap.
Wow, I did miss A LOT!
I will definitely be watching for the second chance on Taj Mahal, Street Illegal and Louis XIV.
Curse my need to work and earn a living!!
Game-a-thons have a few more updates than Tangathons, but would it be possible to set up an SMS notification service for updates?
I would love to see the Island of Dread or Sands of Kalim expansions for Runebound.
Ooh, Sands expansion for Runebound, that would be sweet!
Matt,
There is an RSS feed button in the top right corner of Game of the Day's Google Base page listing all the games available. I set it up to send me a page every time something is added. It is very slow and unreliable though, but it might be my pager service. You may have better luck than I.
Bruce
I tried the same using the RSS feed and Yahoo Alerts but didn't get very good results. I was hoping there was better method than what I was using...
Somebody last time suggested the grease monkey extension for firefox. All you have to do is install it, and where it asks you to put in a script, just put in the following line:
setTimeout("window.location.reload()",20000);
This will reload the page every 20 seconds or so. Simply put in the address of the game of the day google checkout page (http://base.google.com/base/search?nd=&showrefine=&q=&scoring=ld&us=1&authorid=1580994&hl=en&gl=US), and voila! you have yourself an autorefresher.
I wouldn't mind a second chance at the Bolide Expansion, Clans, or Mexica. And I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at Runebound expansions... :)
Newbie to the site (i've been watching GoTD for awhile, but never saw the blog until today). I have a couple of requests...
Runebound: Sands of Al-Kalim expansion, or any of the little expansions (I have the other large ones).
Thurn & Taxis + Expansion. I was broke when that showed up last week (or the week before).
Battlelore
Tamsk
A Game of Thrones: Crown of Kings expansion.
That's it. There are lots of games on other people's lists too, so I won't list all of them. Sorry if I'm violating some sort of rules by being a newbie and posting a list here :).
Ironically iwas in bed talking about the power grid expansions and you're selling the whole pack, any chance of just selling the expansions.
Thanks Eric, the Greasemonkey script works great.
Excellent, thanks for AGoT expansion :).
I would love to see Cave Troll the Citadels Dark City Expansion or King's Gate.
punct says $16.99 on the title but comes up $18.99 in GCO. Which is the correct price?
Almost sounds like we want a Fantasy Flight themed game-a-thon next time... :)
I'm not so sure an FFG-themed game-a-thon would be a good thing. On the one hand it would be awesome, but my credit card might catch fire and that would be bad.
Hey GOTD:
Just ordered Punct. Title said $16.99, but at checkout, it was $18.99. Ordered, but hope you fix it.
Thanks
Ditto for me. I also went ahead with my Punct order. At $16.99 it's a great deal.
All who ordered Punct: Sorry, I will fix it... the correct charge is $16.99.
Thanks Eric!
Just received an email with the $2 refund for Punct. Thanks for fixing it so fast.
Agreed on that $2 Punct rebate!
I'm buying too much! Off to a friend's place, to avoid more spending. Hopefully the madness will end soon - if not, Power Grid Expansions alone and Bolide Expansion certainly make my list...
I'm loving all of the game-a-thon action, but I'd like to see some meatier games.
Maybe some GMT wargames.
Is this the end of the game-a-thon? No offense, but the current crop of games look like the warehouse dust collectors akin to Tanga's German copies of Lucky Loop and Vegas Showdown/Nexus Ops...
I agree with Jeff and Matt. Bring on the wargames!!!
really? You are equating Dragonriders, Power Grid and Louis XIV with Lucky Loop? Wanna trade?
Dear Gameoftheday,
Since my order hasn't shipped, are you still going to put that letter in my shipment for my wife?
Thank you :-)
Once again I have been battered into submission.
Considering I already own Dragonriders, Power Grid, and Louis XIV, then yes, they don't interest me very much...
Aaron, yes, but wouldn't it be better if we shipped it to you at your work address?
Twilight Struggle!
Things are looking up, however I already have this one. Now let's move into some more GMT meaty goodness.
Now Twilight Struggle... That's interesting. Two player games don't often get to table for me though...
No "Buy" button on Twilight Struggle...
jeff... whisper sweet nothings in our ear... what kind of "meaty goodness?"
Thanks for Sands of Al-Kalim. I've been wanting that one for a while. Sweeeeeeet!
Crud, I missed Sands of Al-Kalim??? Crap :).
Aye. I feel sorry for the poor delivery driver that has to carry the box of two game-a-thon's worth of games to my door. :)
gameoftheday,
I have just recently started playing of the longer multiplayer games and card driven wargames.
This weekend I played Here I Stand and I'd love to get a copy of that. I have also been very close to picking up Wellington over the last couple of days.
Revolution: The Dutch Revolt is another that I have enjoyed and would like to pick up.
LOL, yes it would be better if you shipped it to me at my work address. Unfortunately, I'm a roving contractor, never knowing just where my next gig will be at. Hmm...maybe I need one of those unnamed postal boxes just for my GOTD purchases? :-)
Thanks for Twilight Struggle. I decided to pay the shipping so as not to delay the rest. :)
No, not post office boxes!
Here I Stand up and ordered.
Thanks GotD. :)
Bah, an expansion to a game that I don't even like...
Might be almost bed time :).
Is the extra "h" that mysteriously appears in the titles and descriptions sometimes some sort of private joke?
Matt,
I think that's because certain words are disallowed for some reason. Spirit, bet, and some others.
Pillars of the Earth looks a lot like Here I Stand. :)
yes, Kevin is right... the Google automated editor disallows a lot of words, many innocuous, like invest, bank, etc. - and I don't want to wait for the exception process because that would delay the posting for at least a day.
So you can assume it is a "silent" h.
sorry about that.
yollege,
Here's your chance for Al-Kalim. Snap it up!
Yep, just got it. I checked one last time before bed and got one :). Thanks.
I take back all my whining. You've definitely made this game-a-thon more interesting. :)
Wow, lots of good stuff, too bad I used up the rest of my gaming allowance for the rest of the month on the 2 expansions tonight. Thanks all, and good luck with the rest of the game-a-thon.
Crap, I forgot the game5 coupon on Twilight Struggle. Yes, I'm willing to wait a week for shipment (hoping that it includes a letter for my wife) :-) Can I still apply the shipping discount?
Eric, I hate you. I can't see myself ever actually playing "Here I Stand" or "Twilight Struggle", but I bought them anyway. Now you're NEVER going to get that extra copy of "Arkadia" back! Mwahaha!
Just curious, Gameoftheday.
How long til you think you'll get Yspahan back in to ship the re-game-a-thon games?
Eric,
I'm with Mike. If you think Yspahan will be about the same amount of time as Here I Stand will be to ship out can I get the game5 code put on my Here I Stand order?
Thanks
Ysapahan goes out tomorrow. Here I Stand will be a week.
Aaron - no problem.
Thanks Eric,
I'll keep my order as is then.
Oh man, just got back into the house and all the stuff I wanted is in! I guess I'm not out of this round completely - brutal, just brutal.
What are the chances of Indonesia? Or the Catan Struggle for Rome game? I could also suggest a bunch of more obscure wargames, but, uh, I'm probably pushing my luck (and bank account!).
"Ysapahan goes out tomorrow."
Sweeet.
So much gaming goodness.
I can hardly wait.
Thanks for an amazing re-game-a-thon +!!
And now Catan Histories: Struggle for Rome? Are you getting a kickback from the credit card companies? :)
I think I can resist the temptation to grab that one, but if you had included Khet/Deflexion...
GOTD,
Thanks for offering the Settlers of Catan. You filled both of my requests.
Since you seem to be adding a few wargames I'd like to request Hammer of the Scots from Columbia or any of their smaller block games.
Thanks again,
gameoftheday -
I just purchased Tichu and set it to delivery + game5 so that I could try to get the 1 dollar discount, even though I plan to pick it up. Is that okay? I figured people who are doing delivery are saving a buck off the game if they have purchased so... Let me know if it isnt...
Gurkie... the $1 that comes back is really supposed to help offset the rest of the shipping charge for those getting their packages shipped.
Would love to have, Pitchcar Mini and expansions, Powergrid Expansions without the Powergrid game (I already have that), and additional Runebond expansions.
WOuld Love Prince of FLorence, Cleopatra, Duel of Ages, Frierich, Bonaparte, Wings of War, Tikal
GOTD -
Can you cancel my order for Tichu then?
~Gurkie
Ah I missed Twilight Struggle, dangit. I really didn't think I'd see it.
I wish i wouldn't have went to sleep now.
Sure Gurkie, no problem.
Gurkie, I put one back up if you want to re-order Tichu. Nate, keep your eyes open. Twilight could reappear. As in now.
GOTD,
Could you tell me what the four mystery card games were in the last Game-A-Thon that I purchased. I'd like to know what they were so that I don't buy a second of those games as I'm interested in getting Tichu.
Thanks,
Kevin Rutherford
Well, Given the facts that Yspahan is in, I'm out of money, and I'd like all my games to ship together, I'm afraid I'm done.
What an amazing array of games this round. Thanks for an excellent time GOTD!
Any chance of Tichu reappearing this game-a-thon? Saw it, but can place orders from my blackberry.
(Umm...and if my boss asks, no, I wasn't checking your site while driving in to work!)
any chance Niagara and Spirits of Niagara again. I know you had Spirits this game a thon already.
Also when will it all come to an end?
Kevin, don't worry, there will not be a duplication.
Gregg M... yes... Joe... Yes.
GOTD,
Thanks for the info. I ordered a copy of Tichu as a result.
I'm glad all of this stuff is coming to the office. My wife would kill me if she knew I bought all these games. :)
Woo, thanks for the Catan Histories game! I'm afraid to ask for more games, I really shouldn't be buying anything more (but I'm weak).
So is Yspahan really that good? The descriptions and such that I've read on it don't make it sound like it's anything too special in my opinion.
Hey thanks for Spirits of Niagara, you have any copies of Niagara as well, cause I could use the original
I've heard Tikal's been in the game-a-thon recently, and I see Mexica there now. Any chance we might see Java? Or has that already passed me by?
It's the only game of the mask trilogy that I don't own yet.
One of two games would make my game-a-thon experience complete. If I could get either Cave Troll or Runebound Island of Dread expansion that would be tremendous.
The links to the latest postings of the Sands expansion at Gheos seem to be broken.
Sands and Gheos aren't active.
Hm, I'm still seeing them on my list after refreshing a few times.
Yspahan is that good. Amazingly simple game, but fun and quick playing. My family & Game group enjoy it alot.
Try to find the video review from Board games with Scott. It shows off the interesting parts of the game.
I just relisted them, so now you should see them.
Yup, they're there. I had held off on Gheos before, but not now.
So has the re-game-a-thon stuff started shipping?
(sorry I sound so anxious.)
Just picked up Cave Troll thank you very much. Now I can rest in peace although I'll still be watching closely.
Hermagor, please?? I saw it earlier but had to leave before I could buy. ;-)
If you're taking requests, I'd like to see:
Ticket to Ride: USA 1910 expansion
Hansa
Turn the Tide
Thanks!
I'd love to see Medici vs. Strozzi and Factory Fun, since you've put everything else up I've asked for. Oh, except Indonesia, but I figured that was a longshot anyway.
hey eric, i'm going to delay my package until twilight struggle comes, might as well pay 5 bucks for some patience.
Thank for the TTR Expansion! w00t!
Is a deck of cards really $7 to ship, or is there more to this set? Just curious.
Re: Indonesia. Man, I dunno. That's like a $90 game!
I love the big box Splotter games, and I've been wanting to pick it up for a while, so I'd jump on it if it showed up.
So much for staying out of this round.
Hey eric i don't see
Antike when i click the link.
It's like you're reading my mind!
"Why why do I request these things when I know I can't afford them? That's just stupid," he says as he clicks the Buy button....
Well, heading home now, I hope you don't put anything up I want in the next bit.
I'd get Europe Engulfed, I really would, I just have spent far too much money at this time...
Perhaps in another gameathon.
I know it's been requested a couple times already, but if Tichu gets up there again, I'd buy it :).
Imperial?
Ave Caesar?
Thanks :). Now I am done for sure.
Jim, what happened? Did you step away for a second? Joshua snagged that copy of Ave Caesar pretty fast!
We are wrapping up this Game-A-Thon at 11:30 eastern. Please bring your final purchases to the checkout at this time.
Thank you!
Jim... now you've been beaten twice... c'mon.
He must have forgotten to pay tribute to Caesar before the final lap...
Phew, I'm glad the end is in sight, I don't think that my bank account could take much more.
How soon do you think you'll be able to post the top 5?
Now he's been beaten 3 times! Maybe 4th time's the charm?
I may have to actually sleep (and my wife mentioned bathing might also be a good idea) but I will post up results as soon as I can... promise.
As a reminder, top 5 get gifts, Number 1 gets a free game (not a dupe). Thanks!
Is it just me, or have there been a conspicuous lack of "thank you" items this time?
I guess I haven't been paying as close attention as last time, but I haven't seen a single one!
Was it a one-time thing?
There were a couple but they disappeared quickly and I was more focused on enhancing the selection on this one. The next Game-A-Thon may have more Thank You opportunities.
Definitely not a one-time thing. You'll also notice we didn't do mystery packs this time. Something to watch out for next time!
Given the choice between better selection and mystery packs, I'd go with the former. Whenever I break down and get one of the mystery deals from Tanga I invariably get something I already have.
With out mystery packs, you at least won't get a duplicate of something you buy here. A few enterprising individuals have posted their "already own" lists and I honor that as best I can too (though some folks already seem to own almost everything!)
Yeah, I'm with the better selection angle myself.
Well, heck, here's my collection:

Thanks!
Jim... finally!
This game-a-thon has been loads of fun, and my credit card company loves me. Hey, I get cash back so that's more that I'll have later. Thanks Eric and GOTD for a great game-a-thon.
Thanks everyone! It was a lot of fun, and thanks for all the suggestions.
Yeah, I had a blast again, thanks for putting up so many requests!
I missed the end again!!!!
Anything cool? What were the "thank you" games?
HUGE THANKS for the 'thon!!!
I may need to buy a bigger house for all these games!
...and with me not around, you sold a couple extra copies!
breity,
The last two games were Thurn and Taxis for 17.99 and In the Shadow of the Emperor for 12.99.
I didn't get Shadow, as I'd already purchased it in the last gameathon, but T&T was successfully nabbed.
Actually, it brings up an interesting question. If a "thanks" game comes up for a game you've purchased for a higher price earlier in the 'thon, can you cancel the old order and get the "thank you" cost? It would seem unfair to you, Eric, but then again, you might be okay with it.
This was by far the best game-a-thon yet. I wish I could have got more. I guess there is always next time.
Thanks Eric
Thanks! Yeah, I picked up Thurn & Taxis three game-a-thons ago (what was that... two weeks? less?) for more than $17.99! Ah well. Thanks for the update! :-)
Wow this was a great one, I didn't think I"d buy anything, but ARcadia, Twilight and Antike was too much to pass up. My game room is now filled with games I've always wanted.
