Merchants and Mauraders is 2nd in your desert isle list. What's taking up that number one slot?

Sounds like a nice trip!

I'm most surprised by Ben's picks. I guess I didn't peg his tastes at all. James, I'll play CO2 with you any time.

I seriously need to play Imperial Settlers, Abyss and Star Realms this year. And Doomtown Reloaded and Red7 are on my list, too. It's so hard to keep up with all the new games while still trying to catch up playing older games for the first time (hell, I just played Settlers of Catan for the very first time last year!), in addition to just playing games I own and or like! And you seriously need to play King of New York if you liked KoT at all. Lots more to destroy!

Such a great post. As I have delved into the new world of board games over the last two years, and amassed a small collection of great games, my biggest problem is almost never having the opportunity to play them with the exception of one weekly meetup. Hoping to expand my network of gamers in the new year for more gaming sessions and the chance to introduce more people to all of these games, and try more new ones!

Ah ha, Merry Christmas to one of the awesome support staff!

Well said!! We've played a whole shelf-worth of games in the past two days, from a Martin Wallace to an old kid's game, and the friends and family around the table made each one wonderful. Merry Christmas!!

You know the answer to your first question: publishers are appeasing the Cult of the New. As much as I try to get people to play older games I get a lot of pushback because it's not the latest greatest thing, even if they've never played it before.

For your other question, a lot of the time it's scarcity that makes it popular, but I think that applies to games that appeal to collectors (especially of CCGs) than the mainstream gaming public. I continue to say El Grande being out of print is the biggest tragedy in gaming. It remains in my top 5 favorite games.

Everytime you guys have a sale I'm out of town! Congrats on the anniversary and on such a great store.

Holy Cow, forgot to mention Abyss, another great card game that I want to play more. I think all my awards for the year go to the card games!

We've played Dead of Winter four times in the last two days, which is unheard of in our group! A game that lives up to the hype.

Cloud Cap Games is an incredible local venue for game events - fun, inviting, lots of great people, super nice and welcoming owners. I hope you can find a way to host more game events - it was our second time there for an event and we can't wait to go back.

Sounds great! I fully support whatever decisions you make that will help you stay in business, as you are an asset to the community.

Bummed I missed out on the sale, but it was great to see you at PAX.

Nice roundup. I've been meaning to check some of these out... Enjoying my recent Star Realms purchase (thanks Ben)!

Hey Samhain, I suppose you could cancel the Oddball Aeronauts pledge, but its too late to do so for Tiny Epic Kingdoms.

What if we've backed both projects already? How do we back them through you?
