"To the point I'm frustrated playing and get out right angry over most games". Shit. Come over and play LOTR. That game pisses me off to no end. I've had fun playing it in bars but in my house I am beyond disappointed honestly (and I love the theme, saw all the movies). Perhaps a different game is in order. I understand the cost thing getting in the way, prices are going up again. Until the US creates another global economic meltdown (bring the prices down again), hitting the ramp in Star Wars sounds like the best idea for now. Or better yet play with some friends
