This Saturday the small businesses of Jenkintown welcome you to a Scavenger Hunt! Starting at 10AM send your little pirates out to get treasures!
Everything is explained in this handy document.
Along with the usual restocks we received brand new Fate Dice, and the long awaited return of Armytransport bags.
There’s a nice write up from The Dad Game on families and Eurogames.
“Where American games throw your fate into the hands of random die rolls, Eurogames put strategy and player decisions at the center of the action. Eurogames are famous for laying out a bunch of options and then letting you choose what you want to do.”
Naturally, after boardgames, someone asked about RPGs.
We have a 5 way tie for 8th this year.

Recently, I was asked what our best selling board/non-collectible card games were. So…
| All Time | This year | |
| 1 | Settlers of Catan | Smash Up |
| 2 | Dominion | Firefly the game |
| 3 | Forbidden Island | Settlers of Catan |
| 4 | Dixit | Forbidden Island |
| 5 | Tsuro: The Game of the Path | Love Letter |
| 6 | Carcassonne | Ticket To Ride |
| 7 | Ticket To Ride | DC Deck Building Game |
| 8 | 7 Wonders | Gloom |
| 9 | Zombie Fluxx | King of Tokyo |
| 10 | Small World | Elder Sign dice game |
I stripped out expansions to just include stand alone games – otherwise a number of Netrunner expansions would have been on the list.
Shadowfist Combat in Kowloon would have been just above Love Letter this year if I hadn’t called it a CCG.
Fluxx and Munchkin have several stand-alone variants, in the end I kept them separate rather than lump them all together to boost their placement.
Give this list to your givers! Anyone showing up with armed this list and your name can get 7% their purchases.
