Games you want but can't find

[Stejay]

I thought it might be worth having a thread for games that you're after but can't find anywhere in case other forum members know of somewhere they are available from.  Here is my current list:

 

• Lords of Vegas (2010)
• Brave Rats (2011)
• SOS Titanic (2013)
• The Quest for El Dorado (2017)
• MicroMacro: Crime City (2020)

 

[Professor Rob]

Not much immediate help I suppose, but I’d imagine MicroMacro is merely between print runs. I’d be quite surprised if it wasn’t restocked in the near future.

[Stejay]

Yeah, undoubtedly. I’ve all but given up waiting for the Lords of Vegas reprint to appear, and why has El Dorado suddenly gone OOS everywhere?

[shynra]

My list is only in one now as i managed to grab the other luna lena at the 2019 ukgamesexpo trading hall.

Did see that here once but missed it as hesitated lol

Libertalia keeps showing up on the facebook groups. You should look there.

Thats much more available than it was up until recently. They must have done a reprint.

Thanks for this, checked and managed to order MicroMacro from them.

Oh, thank you so much!!! Ordered. 

[Twinbee]

It’s arrived! Such impeccable design and tactile packaging. 
 

Thanks again, @salsashark

Just Lords of Vegas and SOS Titanic to go for now then, not that I hold out much hope of getting either.

Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that has the UK and Pennsylvania maps add-on for Ticket To Ride in stock?

[moosegrinder]

I'm assuming you say UK because you've checked Board Game Prices and seen they're only in stock in Europe?

Thank you.  I haven't played any of the map add-ons before, and I saw this recommended as the best of the lot so fancy giving it a go.

 

EDIT: I didn't buy it in the end.  I only have the 10th Anniversary edition of Ticket To Ride now after giving my copy of Europe to my daughter, and Googling suggests the slightly bigger trains don't fit too well on the expansion maps.  Has anyone here had any issues with this?  I might have to buy a spare set of regular trains from somewhere first it seems.

[shynra]

How about not cheap - but fancy:

 

 

 

I am tempted myself...

Seems like it’s totally impossible to find the Marvel United game by CMON for sale over here; has it never been sold at retail here?

 

I’ve checked all obvious sources & nothing...

[Jamin]

Amazingly, Stone Age. Waiting for a reprint, it's been rumoured for a whie...

The X-men United one has just gone up on kickstarter.

[Munkienut]

Seen a few people on the Facebook groups buying from amazon US for a semindecent price, seems to be easiest way to get it. Have you tried ebay? It's not gone retail here at all, although surely it will at some point. I'm sure they would have had a lot of extra sales off the back of people playing it if it had (not that they need them).

 

Annoyingly the Xmen KS has all the expansions but not the base game from the first campaign. I got the infinity pledge last time round and really enjoy the game but to get the rest of the stuff I missed out on plus the new xmen stuff it will probably run into about 300 bucks... :/ Sounds like the previous expansions won't be available at retail any more either so this will be the only way to get a lot of the stuff.

[ph0rce]

Yeah, I saw that but as posted above, even if I wanted to back that & get the ridiculous add on from the first game it doesn’t actually include the core game, which they are saying is because it’s available at retail. But I guess that’s only in the US. 
 

I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything obvious about it being sold somewhere I hadn’t seen. 
 

And yeah, I’ve checked eBay but it’s all from US sellers so the postage doubles the price of the actual game. 

[jonnyalpha]

I was looking for Sno, the expansion to The Magnificent and I found copies in the EU but they won't ship to the UK. Has anyone seen this anywhere in the UK?

 

edit: found it on Matagot and they will ship to the UK.

[jonnyalpha]

Now looking for the expansion to Santa Maria, American Kingdoms. Has anyone got a copy they are selling or seen it anywhere on your travels?

Rumour has it that Libertalia may be being reprinted by Stonemaier Games... Link

[shynra]

Thanks, ive played Libertalia over TTS several times now after a few games it clicked for me so i may grab a copy for myself too!

[Talvalin]

The two Blood Bowl Team Manager expansions, Foul Play and Sudden Death I meant to pick them up when I was in the US for work trips practically every year from 2012 to 2018, but kept forgetting in favour of buying more comics and eventually they went out of print and then on eBay for stupid money. Bah.

[And]

Did blitz bowl ever come out here?

[Stejay]

Typically, Cottage Garden is out of stock everywhere now I’ve decided that I really, really want it.

[moosegrinder]

I'm 99% sure the reason board game fans spend so much on the hobby is the brief nature of stock on a lot of the games. Unless they're evergreen monstrosities shit goes out of print, so you buy it as soon as you see it. If you can't afford it then you have to make peace with the fact you're probably never going to own it, which is a bit freeing in and off itself tbh.
