I want Dreadfleet bad. A self-contained miniatures war game set on the high seas? Fuck yes.

Too bad it's like $115 and Games Workshop is evil incarnate.

Truth. I've wanted to get into Warhammer for years, but the fact that just the rulebook itself is like $60+ never fails to turn me off.

Dreadfleet is a self contained game with everything you need for two players in one box. It's limited edition, and there are no expansions. It's actually a pretty swank deal considering all you get for that price.

And as expensive as miniatures games are, they still come out cheaper than a game like Magic: the Gathering. It's just the initial investment that is big. If you go straight retail, expect about $300-400 to get a decent army, including books and paint. After that, expanding is pretty cheap.

With a game like M:TG, you can drop $500 easy just to stay current each year.

Also, Warmachine and Hordes by Privateer Press are both much cheaper due to the fact that less models get used. It actually plays closer to a CCG with miniatures and utilizes more synergy and combos than Warhammer does. Warhammer just simulates the all out medieval warfare thing better.

Is it like Mouse trap, but instead of trapping a mouse, it cuts a guy's head off?

EDIT: Apparently I'm not far off. Me want!

I like Munchkin

There were tons of various munchkin expansions at the store.

Munchkin does look fun. Maybe when my current D&D group burns out I could throw this on the table to get us rejuvenated.

It's best with your D&D buddies. So many inside jokes and all that. I'm partial to Munchkin Cthulhu myself, if for other reason than the "O Rlyeh?!" card.

I play Munchkin! Though I always lose, because I am not evil enough.
