I agree that DinoGenics looks much better. The artwork of Dinosaur Island, especially the cover, did not impress me.

Feels like I'm watching a Hollywood scene of a movie.

Luckylike, I have never heard of that game before. That circle map looks intriguing.

Nope, but my sister REALLY wants that game. I'm not even sure if its been officially released yet. It is hard to find, that I know.

I am participating in Secret Santa on BGG for the first time this year. My Santa sent me a series of hints about the gifts I would receive. Here are the hints. Can you guess them?
PS: My games have already arrived, and my sister and I have been having a blast playing them. We figured out three out of five correctly.
Hint #1
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of year
FedEx in the air
Boardgames everywhere
Euros by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Hint #2
Oh ????
Oh ????
How lovely are your branches!
Hint #3
The Turkey is a funny bird
It’s head goes bobble-bobble
And all he knows is one word
And that is Gobble-Gobble
The Turkey is a shy bird
Thanksgiving makes him better
If he wants to seal you
He writes a letter
Hint #4
To bee or not to bee
That is the question
I know one thing
You will bee happy
On Saturday.
Hint #5
Life is a battle
Con the enemy with a rattle
If you can figure out her cards
Winning won’t be too hard.
Wrap-up
I’ve sent you 5 clues
Each holds an answer for you
Something for you and your sister
I feel like such a trickster
Wait til Christmas or open right away
I hope it will make your day
If you wait a little while
These clues should give you quite a smile
Figure them all and you’re a genius
Figure them none And you’ll still enjoy Christmas
You have Jesus so I know you don’t need presents
But it’s still fun to give them! So have fun!

I picked up Vikings On Board went it was on a super cheap sale last year. Here is my Amazon review:
Rating: Two Stars
This game is truly one of the most beautiful games I have ever bought, with the colorful artwork and 3D ships which come pre-made. I love the shields you put your goods on after they ship.
The gameplay is not so enjoyable, at least for my family. Players spend most of their time trying to ruin the plans of other players. Its difficult to plan ahead because most likely your ship pieces will be moved by other players, hijacking your goods you wanted to sail off with.
If you are a player who likes constantly "in you face" conflict, then you may like this one. My family prefers more Euro style games where you can develop long-term strategy, which is useless in this game.0 -
This will hopefully be my gameshelves in the near future. Currently I am using cheap bookselves from Walmart which are sagging a bit.

If you want a light roleplaying game that is easy to jump into and quick to play, you might try Expedition: The Roleplaying Card Game. I got its expansion on Kickstarter. You use an app which tells a story and gives players choices. Based on their decisions, they may have to deal with traps and fight battles. There are MANY stories to choice from and users can write and share their own stories. They even had a contest recently and gave $500 to the best story writer. The tutorial game is easy to play and will take maybe 30 minutes (for 2 players).

My most anticipated game has arrived!!!! Gloomhaven
Wow, its a HUGE box which weighed 22 pounds BEFORE I added my Broken Token. Now it weighs roughly thirty pounds...I'm not joking about that either. Whenever I need exercise, all I have to do is take out my copy of Gloomhaven.

Growth as a painter:
First picture:
- Left ~ Prepainted barrel ordered from Top Shelf Gamer.
- Middle ~ My first attempt at painting. This barrel came from Dungeonstone's website. I used a black wash then a spray-on sealer that turned it even darker, to my disappointment. All paint used was cheap acrylic from Walmart.
- Right ~ A barrel from Dungeon Saga. This time I used a dark brown wash and paint-on sealer, using first a shiny coat then a dull coat (thanks for the tip, guys). The metal band was a Reaper paint.
Second Picture:
- Left ~ Prepainted chest ordered from Top Shelf Gamer.
- Right ~ A chest from Dungeon Saga. I used the same techniques above as the barrel on the right.

I know this is not a game, but these can be useful. I'm running out of space for my games and will need some new shelves soon. Also my current cheap shelves from Wal-mart are sagging a bit. I'm always having to be concerned about putting my heavier games on the bottom. With these gameshelves, my worries will be gone.

Wow, this is a hard question, as I don't yet have any products. I think I will go with the CoCo's since they are so versatile and can be used with so many different games.

I love Zenithsplendor's pictures. I am her sister, so I am partial
I'm glad she loves the pumpkin rolling tray. And she makes me a bit jealous, as she has something from DMG while I still wait for those CoCo. One of those sets I ordered will be hers. And I will be getting a dice tower from DMG, but I won't see it till next year.
At least I can play with hers now

Barb, your work looks awesome. Love reading chat of those with lots of experience.
Now I will go back to painting my doors and an army of slimes (which I made myself out of Halloween decorations and a ton of hot glue). I will have pictures later.

Barb, your doors look awesome. Been working on some myself. I finished the doors but now have the frames to do. I'll try to post pictures when I finally finish.
I am in the midst of painting Dungeon Funiture Saga pack. Its been fun working the wooden furniture. I am ready to soon start on the stone fountains and the thrones. I have not figured out how I will do the thrones yet. I need to study more pictures.

Those dice look cool. If I was a DM, I would buy them.

Thanks for the tip about the varnish. I may try the double layer. I did happen to buy both kinds

Nice site, Serge. In about six months with my copy of 7th Continent comes, I may be buying a mini goat then.
