Very tempting. I'll have to get Jason to show me how it plays.

Think BFG with pre-measuring and you'll be in the ball park.

I had an internal struggle with myself to not buy myself an ISD over the weekend when I stopped into G&S.

Hey, I don't know if you heard, but Asmodee is going to rebrand Fantasy Flight/Days of Wonder to Asmodee North America. The speculation is that is will drive up internet prices for FFG, DoW, and Asmodee games and possibly restrict some retailers from selling altogether. Again, this is speculation, I have not seen the retailers all that upset. The good news is that the new CEO of Asmodee North America is the current President of Fantasy Flight, and by all accounts, that guy loves games.

I've heard. The speculation is that they will target online retailers, which makes sense. As much as I like saving money, local gaming stores make hobbies like this. Online retailers selling at large discounts make their lives much harder. FFG is all about community, so it would not be surprising if they tried to force online prices up to help out local gaming stores.
