Cyanide

Just bought a new Batmobile.

Forgot that I hadn’t posted this here, just in the Facebook group.

Last picture of Batman Merch I have. When we get the poster from the Kickstarter (assuming it’s not folded and isn’t to small) I’ll frame it and hang that up on the wall.

Finally received my neoprene map for Rising Sun, H.O.L.A.S map is still bigger but that’s o.k I’ll be able to fit this one on a table.

My boys got me this for Christmas. Got it out today to start building. 

 

 

This was the first step

 

 

Now I just need to develop a “penguins with rocket launchers” scenario and I’m totally going to use this as a stand in. (I can totally pretend a buzzsaw is a rocket launcher, right?). 

My favorite line from that movie is..

Robin: “Whoa, Batman lives in Bruce Wayne’s basement?” 

 “No,” Batman says. “Bruce Wayne lives in Batman’s attic.”

Real Deep.

Batman and Robin cups to complete the collection.

Played some Museum Rush, quite a fun little filler game. Minis in it are small and bendy and it’s my only complaint. Kinda odd that the one play I had with Dead Mans Doubloons was the complete opposite great components but didn’t like it as much. Finally going to get my neoprene mat for Rising Sun in the next few days. Also I’m backing Fireball Island which looks fun but I’m not even bothering to look at the stretch goals we unlock where as I’m also backing Street Fighter and just awaiting the updates on the new characters added.

My Hotwheels, not as big as my new Batmobile courtesy of Monolith but different versions are always nice.

Had the two villian mugs since I was a kid, Batman I found in a thrift shop last year.(Will post Batman when Robin who I just ordered comes in.) I like how the handles are intergrated into what’s going on in the mug.

None of you guys have any Batman gear you treasure? Really? 

Im disappointed guys, I thought you were Batman fans, what's you favourite comic or graphic novel?  Come on! show me what you got!...

All I have is some glasses, a few hotwheel Batmobiles, video games, and movies. I didn't think them impressive enough to show.

Yeah apparently Spoiler was never in the plans, they just didn't want to recomission the artist for the cover art

Then BadKam shouldn't have said otherwise. I don't care that she isn't or is but saying one thing and doing another doesn't look good.

My first was an expansion to a game I don’t even own anymore. Next I bought Krosmaster Arena and spent more money then I ever have since. Gotta get a gamers table soon so I can play games with people here. Just to much work hauling a lot of my games around plus two player games are not what to bring to game night.

Scar Face, Ventriloquist (Wesker) White Rabbit, Prometheus, Shiva, Talia

Humphrey Dumphery (kinda drew a blank here)

Ninjas, Penguins as thugs, Clay face Thugs.

A giant Venus Fly Trap for Poison Ivy.

Forgot Dead Mans Doubloons, components are great, with the deluxe kit only the coins really are an upgrade to me. I have heard that if your the first one to get a map tile you most likely will win which is what happened in the first game I played. Will have to play more to see if this is true cause that kinda ruins it. Other complaint is I had to find card sleeves for this game. (What is up with these irregular size cards these days.)

This was my first kickstarter but I own 30+ board games (Which isn't a lot considering some people I know the professional board game designer is the worst). My best advise is rulebooks I wont buy anything without knowing how the game works first and more importantly if my wife and I would enjoy it.

 

We've made a few mistakes on impulse buys with Arkham Horror (I like it my, wife hates it) and Firefly (not enough player interaction).  But Ive gotten to the point where I can read most things and go yup thats worth having.  But learning what you like and don't like takes time.

Surprisingly at this time I only own 31 games and I’ve been collecting over 10 years. I use to have more Euros but now it’s mostly Ameritrash, minis and dice. My wife dislikes my hobby and hopes my kids don’t end up liking it, so I mostly buy just because I want it. Good thing she doesn’t have any say as long as her and the kids have food, shelter, and clothing otherwise I’d have no hobby.

Last year I bought too many, so far I have three that I wasn't to thrilled about. But some are coming that I can't wait for like Village Attacks, Clash of Rage, Too Many Bones: Undertow, Wander: the Cult of Barnacle Bay, and Sonic: Battle Racers. Of course without question Batman: GCC.

Rising Sun I saved for last. As someone who buys everything I can for the games I own regardless, I never bought Blood Rage due to the KS exclusives that were to much on the second hand market. So when they announced a game with the same crew I made sure to back it and good thing cause it had more exclusives then the last one. I realy only have one negative about the game and its that it takes me three boxes not counting the Daimyo expansion to bring anywhere. I could pile them all in a box loose but that's not my style. I know there is some companies working on an insert and I'm sure I'll buy one later this year. This game isn't leaving the colllection.

This might sound weird but the only essential kickstarter exclusive element of Rising Sun for me is the plastic strongholds. I think those should have been part of the base game. I feel like the cardboard tokens would get lost among all the different units.

I especially like the turtle strongholds. I think the bigger map comes in handy when playing with five or six players. 

Heros of land, air and sea looks fun. A 4x game that plays 30 minutes a person. It did take me 4 hours to punch, assemble, and glue all the cardboard pieces, but they add alot to the game. Havn't played it yet but I've been trying to.

As for Museum Rush I havn't played it yet but I was thinking the minatures were a little bigger. One of the guards was missing one of her arms due to the plastic not forming in that area. (That's what it looks like at least.) I bought it because Rob Oren hyped it. Gameplay sounds good and the rest of the components are decent. 

Grimm Forest was overproduced but I like it especially that insert. It is a lighter game, but one I won't mind playing with the kids when they get older. No downside as long as you don't mind light games with some indirect take that.

Covil had nice artwork and some nostalgia, but I didn't even bother playing it. For starters the cards were thin, not a standard size and white bordered. So I bought the sleeves hoping they would improve it, based on there kickstarter I only needed one of each. Not only did I need more but the sleeves were cheap to. So I sent it to my Neice in colledge.

I think a definate improvement with Rising Sun is the optional game mat. Even with it our map got a little crowded so must be tight with the original board. Thats the one fault with Blood Rage, you can never fit everything on their space, especially when you bring the big boys in.

I'm still waiting on my mat FedEx has had it in que for weeks now, I contacted CMON but there claiming there backed up. Which makes sense but it looks like it should have gone out by now.

So I don't derail my own thread. What are you guys expecting or planning to back.

Yeah they are amazing, personally I won’t buy a CMON game retail due to being a completeionist, and wanting all those extras and having to pay eBay prices is crazy.

Making this thread to discuss Kickstarter projects we have recently played/received and those we plan to back later this year. Out of consideration it seems best not to post links to said Kickstarter. The ones I’ve recieved so far this year are Covil:Dark Overlords, Rising Sun, Grimm Forest, Heroes of Land, Air and Sea, and Museum Rush. I plan on backing Fireball Island:Curse of Vul Kar this month. Will go into more detail about them tomorrow, gotta get to work.
