« Last post by bob48 on Today at 04:17:37 AM »You can buy several depths of plain white GMT boxes from SCG. I brought a couple of 2" boxes to keep folio games in.

Intel Dump / Boxes
« Last post by JudgeDredd on Today at 03:56:17 AM »I now have a few games that either can't fit in the box (due to counter trays) or expansions.
Does anyone know if you can buy extra "boxes"...not game specific - just empty 3" boxes?

Some great games here I have and haven’t heard of
In particular for me is scythe which looks great
And I’m sure we’ve discussed shadows of forbidden gods - either way it’s getting purchased when I’m back home - it looks brilliant and I’d forgotten all about it

..oh, and green bug-eyed many tentacled aliens.

« Last post by bayonetbrant on Yesterday at 04:38:27 PM »So what do you guys think are the essentials for a space war game? What are the things that has to have and what are the things that are purely optional?
Does he have to have non-humans present? Or is it okay to just have a lot of variations of humanity in the game?
You have to have some form of ship to ship combat? Or our fleet actions enough? How much does interstellar travel matter versus just staying in one solar system and focusing on interplanetary actions?
What are some of your favorite mechanics from the systems you enjoy? And what are some of the things that drive you nuts and don't ever want to see any space game?
Just being tied to a particular IP license make a game more or less appealing to you? If it is dependent on the license, what's the deciding factor on which license is you prefer?

« Last post by bbmike on Yesterday at 02:08:21 PM »JD, don't forget the digital version of Mr. President is coming to Steam!Sorry - but that's a negatory good buddy. I just can't get on with digital board games. What I mean is - if there's aboard game, I don't want to play a digital version of it. I've tried with LnL Tactical, Conflict of Heroes, I've tried vassal, I've tried TTS - I just can't get them to bite for some odd reason.
Yes, I get it. I much prefer a physical board game to digital.
