So the charge finally appeared for Antidote.  With the 3 of us we are at $14.67 US each.  Converted to Canadian it's $15.76.  Thanks, guys!

It's going to be a long wait 'til January for these last two group buys....

Looks like a neat game. Too bad there's no real group buy advantages. In any case, I may pick myself up a copy...
Got a request for a game, check out this link right here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/t_shak I'd be more than glad to bring any of these out to play.

Yeah, it does look kinda neat and there's quite a bit of buzz about it on BGG.  There are a couple short videos in one of the updates so hopefully I'll have time to watch tonight and convince myself one way or the other.

Only a 10 day Kickstarter so they're not wasting any time on it!

I bought Aquasphere without even thinking about it. I am a huge fan of Stefan Feld designs and pretty much buy all his games.

QuoteNews from the depths! The AquaSphere is a research facility stationed deep below the ocean's surface, and your skilled team—consisting of an engineer, a scientist, reprogrammable bots and exploratory submarines—is trying to gather as much data as possible.

The game board in AquaSphere has two main areas: A research station comprised of six sectors in which your scientist conducts experiments and a headquarters where your engineer supervises preparation of the bots. During each of the four game rounds, you take several turns, and on each turn you either:

    Use your engineer in the headquarters to program a bot; each round you can choose from three of the seven actions.

    Have your scientist bring a bot to a sector to perform an action.

Through actions such as improving your lab, sending out submarines, collecting crystals, and examining invasive octopods, you expand the abilities of your team or gather knowledge points, which are necessary to win. Additional challenges result from the limited size of your lab, which is your personal stock; you can increase the size of your lab, which makes life easier, but this costs valuable time.

AquaSphere is a challenging game of strategy and tactics with different paths to victory that requires planning in advance as well as skillful use of short-term opportunities.









Let me know if you want to me to bring out a specific game: Game List

Not sure if I should pop this in here since it's not a Kickstarter project but the Indiegogo campaign is up for Watch it Played.  I'm sure those of you that are interested are already YouTube subscribers and know all about it but this series has really brought me back around to boardgames and I wanted to give it a plug.

I like the art for this and its very... orange :P

I like the art too - it's quirky and comical.  Free shipping to Canada so that's nice as well.
