Oy, nearly two months without a post! We haven't done any real board gaming in this time, but I did have an anecdote to share.

Julie and I were in the local gaming store the other day when I saw one of the rerelease copies of the classic Talisman game sitting on a shelf. Julie dismissed it as one of those "Takes 24 hours to play" games, but I had fond memories of owning the game. That's right, memories of owning the game -- I'd never played it with anyone, since my brothers were not interested and I didn't have a lot of friends at the time.

Now if I still had that copy of the original, it would be worth probably three hundred bucks. Unfortunately, I think my Dad probably had it thrown out when he systematically purged the house of old unused stuff a little while back. I'd love to have another copy of the game, but not for 75 bucks retail.
