I picked up Azul on that sale, and paired it up with Sagrada and Disney Villainous. Only got to play one game of Azul so far with my wife and daughter (10) and we loved it. It's easy to pick up and understand, fun, and has beautiful components. I never played Patchwork, so I can't compare, but that one is on my list too.

I can't wait to play the other two we picked up. I did one solo game of Sagrada and liked it, but I'm sure playing with others will be much better. I was surprised at how deep Villainous is after reading the rules. I expected it to be a lighter family game, but there is quite a bit to it. Not overboard, and still pretty easy to comprehend, just more than I expected. It should be a blast.

Patchwork is a 2 player game with a currency mechanic to getting pieces. Very different from Azul.

Hot dog

Fireball Island just shipped!

Nice!
I have one coming too.

Love the original game. Hope the sequel is as good or better.

Did you get a tracking number? Nothing for me yet.

Yeah tracking in the email

Do you know or remember what Backer number you are?

15569

Hopefully it’s just delayed because I’m canadian and shipping is different.

My backer number is 2021

Man I'm in NY and I was Backer 263 and I didn't get any shipping info yet .
Guess they have their reasons. Not nervous just anxious lol.

My Fireball Island shipped 11/09/18 and will be here 11/14/18. I know they had different shipping for different countries. I was one of the first day backers, not sure what number. I also bought 2 complete sets with all the add ons.

Strange they’re shipping out of order.

I too had x2 plus an add on.
Sure everyone else will get their email soon.

I'm still waiting for shipment confirmation for Fireball Island

I'm also still waiting for shipping.

The wife and I like to dim the lights and set the mood when playing Mansions Of Madness. Flickering LED candles... and the tablet PC is hooked up to nice stereo speakers for the ambiance.

Im backer 611 but since im from Canada i expect it will take a bit longer.

Fireball update via email. Basically says....

They have 16,000 units to ship in the US and 2000 have already been shipped out the door. Shipping will continue

Canada and Australia shipping begins next week.

They still believe the backers will receive their game by months. (I dunno about that one but remain hopeful)

Keyforge anyone?

My Fireball Island is arriving Friday! I actually think playing the original as a kid was the inception force that started my interest in pinball.

Exciting months ahead! My initial Kickstarters are just beginning to ship. I received Deadwood 1876 last week & received the email that Fireball Island is currently in transit.

Also got the notification that Phase 1 of Nemesis should arrive late Nov/early Dec. That is the game I'm the most excited to dive into.

I haven't gotten my fireball island email yet, but I'm so excited! I hope it's still fun.

I feel the same way Groo, I rediscovered boardgames this year and kind of went on a spending binge which I feel now will last me a lifetime of play. I have to cool down. Some in this list are still in KS 2019 pledges..

Scythe | Brass Lancashire & Birmingham | Robinson Cruesoe | Fireball Island | Dice Forge | Jamaica | King's Forge | Maximum Apocalypse | Nemesis | Tidal Blades | Project L | Everdell & Pearlbrook expansion | Miremarsh | Tang Garden | The Island of El Dorado with Thieves Expansion | Trickerion with expansion | Posthuman Saga | Neta Tanka | 1347 The Black Plague | The Faceless | Crypt | Chronicles of Crime | Azul | Dragoon with Expansion | Escape Teh Curse Temple | Great Western Trail | Isla Dorada | Junk Art | Loony Quest | Oceanos | Outlive | Luxor | Black Orchestra | Coimbra | Pingo Pingo | Yamatai | Ticket To Ride with 1921 Expansion | Survive Escape from Atlantis | Arcane Alley | REavers of Midgard | Valhalla | Monumental | Pandemic | and about 10 more....

Come to think of it I hadn't realazied I had purchased so many....

Anyone play the Warhammer based game Blood Bowl? I was looking into buying/building that game.

I concur... So many games and so little time. (It's also impacting installing pinball upgrades)

I bought the Scythe expansion Rise of Fenris weeks ago and have yet to play it and have a half finished game of 7th Continent in save mode that has not been touched for months.

Gloomhaven has hit a bit of a bump as our character class mix and levels are not complimentary and causing us to get exhausted too quickly even when bumping the levels down.

Ha! This is the exact same thing that happened to me. Stumbled on this thread a year ago & I fell right down down the rabbit hole, along with my wallet. I entered my games into BBG to keep track of them & couldn't believe how many I backed or pre-ordered...

Batman: Gotham City Chronicles | Deadwood 1867 | Salem 1692 | Tortuga 1667 | Fireball Island | Dinosaur Island | Crypt | Unbroken | Nemesis | Mr Cabbagehead's Garden | Escape the Dark Castle | Tudor | Freedom: The Underground Railroad | Crusader Kings | Cthulu: Death May Die | The Island of ElDorado | Escape Plan | Planetarium | Inhuman Conditions | Pocket Ballpark | Set A Watch | Campy Creatures | Civics In Chaos | Fury of Dracula | Uboot

That doesn't count the readily available games I've bought off the shelf...

Axis & Allies | Nemo's War | Star Wars Rebellion | Azul | Hannibal & Hamilcar | 1775 Rebellion | Carson City | Deception: Murder in Hong Kong | Sheriff of Nottingham | Downforce | King of Tokyo | Memoir 1944 | Secret Hitler | Terraforming Mars | The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 | Ticket to Ride | Trajan | Viticulture

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem! Now I'm realizing that I'm going to have put all these Kickstarters somewhere when they arrive. It's time to pump the breaks on purchases. I've got a wide selection at this point.

Pulled Thunder Road down off the shelf (haven't played it years) and found out that it hasn't aged all that well, literally. The gameplay is still fun though would have been more fun with more players but we wish we had figured out earlier that the dice have warped over time and one of the red dice has developed a much higher probability of rolling a six.P1020400 (resized).JPG

Our copy of the new Fireball Island came in today, figured I'd post a quick comparison picture of new to old. Played a game of both versions, original is still fun and fairly fast, new one is definitely a bit more complex and will take a few more games for me to have a strong opinion. We didn't play with the expansions, so it'll be interesting to see what they add to it.

Nice, I did the exact same!
1 new game without using any expansions...
Too early to judge it fully but I don’t think it’ll ever be better than the original.

Fireball Island shipped today!

Should make a nice Christmas gift for the family.

Congrats to everyone on bringing this game back to life.

I was backer #7013.

Just got my FedEx shipment notification for Fireball Island!!!

Has anyone played betrayal legacy? Thoughts?

I unboxed my Fireball Island this weekend. Looks like it's going to be fun to play.

I'd say the only letdown was the box. As far as other new board games go, it's severely lacking in quality. Very thin cardboard & flimsy. They should have made a thicker stronger box one of the stretch goals, but I'm guessing that would have added more weight to an already large box & added to the shipping costs. Plus it's not easy to fit everything back in the box after playing.

I am. I have like 8 teams.

I got my tracking # for fireball island today, should be here tomorrow.

I get into the habit of reinforcing the box corners with clear gorilla tape. I have some large games that have been well used over the years.

Game is tons of fun with the expansions.
Agree box is too thin and small.

Speaking of retro releases, I just saw Crossfire for sale at target. 25$! seems to be identical to the first release.

Crossfire!!! CrossFIRE!!!

It sucks. The guns dont shoot strong enough to even move the target across the board. When I play with my kids, we start with half the balls each, then when I run out of balls I go do something else while my kid tries to move the target off his side of the board.

I think I still have a bone bruise on the inner part of my index finger from Crossfire.

Finally it arrived!!

Anyone ever play Weapons and Warriors? That was a pretty cool game when I was a kid. Not sure if it holds up..
