I think you've crossed into the realm of the board game collector. Just a few to start, then 'just another one or two' regularly. Now just awaiting the first 'I needed to buy another shelf for games' post. Welcome to our not so secret Cabal.This week i've played:
Under Falling Skies
Azul
Viticulture (a lot)
Coatl
Patchwork
Also picked up Tidal Blades & Juicy Fruits.

Yeah it's a good play and well produced. There is an expansion that apparently fixes a little issue with one scoring aspect usually being the decider. Look for the one that adds in "nectar" I think?

For a while there it was available at Kmart. I'm not sure if it still is though.It's front and centre at my local games shop, it keeps staring at me. It's on my buy list at some point.
Return to Dark Tower arrived this week and first game tonight with wife and eldest child.
A balanced party helped for a hard fought victory. Eldest had character / cards that were excellent for cleansing skulls, allowing wife and I to tackle foes. The tension is there each time you drop a skull in or the tower rotates or a door is removed.
We all enjoyed it. Just wish I had skills to paint the minis (got the mini expansion, so not just cardboard tokens laid down on the board).

So far just the two games. One 2 player with the wife and I (a win) and a 4 player (loss). I want to get back to it again, just so many games to get to. I intend to get the new expansion and Neoprene mat when the reprint goes up. I'm on a group for the game and it seems to be getting plenty of games from those who got it.I see a reprint is coming with a new expansion, how have you found the replayability of this? Any staying power?
Return to Dark Tower is a 'One and done' each time you play, so should be easier to sell as 'if you don't like that's it'. Starting a campaign game then having to stop it (or go solo it) would be much more annoying!I need to work out how to get my girlfriend to play some of these more complex games... It's an ordeal trying to get her to try anything, though we managed to play Horrified on the weekend which is about as heavy as I've been able to get her to even consider
She has actually shown an interest in Return to Dark Tower, hence my questioning previously
