You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Which reminds me how one of my friends thought this game was Clue with cylons: "Boomer, in the water tanks, with the C4"

Sounds like an entry from the Chief's diary.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

ya, sounds pretty pervy to me. C4 makes knife play seem pretty vanilla if you ask me.

That so, 'Boomer'?

I believe that was player talk. I didn't preface with any bolded tri-letters.

Home from game night. Dominion is, indeed, a good game. ND & Pix, I think it would make an excellent addition to your collection. (others too, but I know their collection). I almost bought a copy myself, but they were wanting $40, which seemed a bit high. Plus it was cash, and that would have wiped all the cash from my pocket. So I refrained, for now.

It sells for AU$90 here. Agricola costs $140. My chosen hobby has become a lot more expensive since the dollar fell. (Conversely, D&D books haven't really increased in price at all. Go figure.)

move out and draw fire

That's not too far off the prices here. We paid US$68 for Agricola, but that was 20% internet sale price. Still, I guess it is a third again as expensive.

I will say, there condo *was* a gamers heaven. MM & Aims, your bookcase... ya, they had 4 of those loaded with RPG books. Then, in the, uh, bar area I guess you'd call it, they had 4 rolling bookshelves squished together FILLED with games ready to be sold. Just about EVERYTHING. All the Catan's (except the $400 hand carved one), Munchkin, BSG, ok, maybe not EVERYTHING, but a whole hell of a lot. Apparently there was even more upstairs.
