P.S. one more thing

 

My coolest/cutest find while thrifting was "The Board Game Geek Game." If you don't already know the website Board Game Geek is one of the most popular site among gamers. It provides a description of the game, ratings, photos, and links to tutorials. Players can rank games and the games are given an average rating out of 10. The site also allows members to log the games they own, trade games, interact through forums and private messages.

This game was released in October 2009 by R&D Games, to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the BBG website. It was designed by Richard Breese and authorized by Scott Alden and Derek Solko, the BBG creators.

The game involves two main concepts, the player acts as a boardgame publisher delivering games to 6 shops and also as a Geek who is trying to purchase games for their groups collection. The game consists of 6 rounds, and each round has the following 6 actions:
1. Games arrive at the warehouse.
2. Deliver games to the shops.
3. Geeks arrive at the shops.
4. Decide new start player.
5. Geeks choose games.

6. Receive Geek Gold for games sold.

At the end of the six rounds the player with the most Geek Gold is the winner.   

I would consider this the ultimate game for any avid boardgame player to have in their collection. Aside from game play, it makes a great conversation piece. Visually the game itself is fun to look at with 6 shops and games being visible from the windows. It would be a great game to display. I can't wait to see what the team at BBG does for the 20th anniversary.
