Still giving away games.
Here are the rules for The Great and Terrible Games Give Away of 2020.
I'll name a game in a blog post. I'll tag the game in the post. You'll see the post.
If you want the game, leave a comment below stating that you want the game. By leaving a comment that you want the game/item, you are pledging that you will play that game sometime within the next year. If you fail that pledge, you must pass the game on. Honor system. I'd love to have people come back to this blog and leave comments about the game played, but that is also completely unneccessary.
One week after the post, I'll randomly choose a person to give the game to by rolling a die.
The person who wins the game agrees to pay shipping. This helps me from losing lots of money in being too stupidly generous. It also allows me to ship games internationally without being afraid of those shipping costs. If you're willing to pay for international shipping, I'm willing to otherwise send the game to you for free.
After I choose the winner out of any comments, I'll send a geekmail to get a shipping address. Once I've shipped the game, I'll send another geekmail with my paypal info so that the new game owner can pay whatever the actual shipping costs were.
If no one leaves a comment wanting the game, then I'll just throw it in a box for the thrift store. No "backsies" for me. Once I say I'm going to get rid of a game like this, it's gone.
Today, I'm giving away A Game of Games. This was given to everyone who attended Alan Moon's Gathering of Friends in 2008. I was there. I received this game. In the 12 years since, I have never played it.
If this game sounds good to you, keep in mind that it was released in 2008. All of the games referenced in this game that you need to be familiar with in order to even begin playing were all published prior to 2008.:strip_icc()/pic5650613.jpg)
But now I will tell the lineage and the names of the heroes, and of the long sea-paths and the deeds
Just another bgg blog about playing games.

Today, I'm giving away my copy of Epic Card Game. I bought this for half off at my flgs. It's a swingy game of big, giant things to do every turn, with no stupid mana cost restrictions to keep you from doing them. I found it too much of a good thing, but maybe you'll love it.:strip_icc()/pic5646822.jpg)

Today, I'm getting rid of Bargain Hunter, an early game by Uwe Rosenberg, when he still made card games instead of games with a thousand pieces and he still hadn't joined (founded?) the polyomino cult.
This one is a trick-taking game, and a rather well-regarded one, one of the established "designer" trick-taking classics of the past 30 years. In general, I've found that I like classic, traditional deck trick-takers more than I enjoy these modern designs. Bargain Hunter was a bit too chaotic for me. There's control, surely, (and I won the one time I played so I hope so), but it's a little bit too sprawling with its massive deck size. I think I also prefer trick-takers with a much smaller, limited deck.:strip_icc()/pic5644186.jpg)

Today, I'm giving away my homemade print n' play copy of Lost Patrol, housed in my historic elementary school pencil box. I made this set ten years ago on a whim and played it twice. It has been sitting unloved and unplayed ever since.:strip_icc()/pic5644072.jpg)
Thickish tiles. Heroscape figures. Monster discs. Dice. This copy is better than anything you'll get from Games Workshop. It's yours if you want it. Leave a comment following the rules above.

Today, I'm giving away my unique copy of Personal Space, obtained through the Button Shy Board Game of the Month Club. I'm still a huge Button Shy fan and am still committed to keeping this subscription through the rest of 2020, but I just can't get myself excited about this weird solo-social tabletop-digital hybrid game. It's just not at all my thing.
So, I'm passing it on to you. If you're reading this, you are qualified to win my copy of Personal Space. Follow the rules above and it could be yours.:strip_icc()/pic5643787.jpg)
