This thread is dedicated to Kernow.
As some of you know, i'm really into boardgames - but more specifically what many call "hobby board games" - meaning stuff you generally can't find at places like Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, etc. You'll have to venture to a local game store (comic shops are a good place to start looking) or hit up some online retailers.
Anyway, I just thought i'd show you people what games I have, since well this site is full of collectors and this is what I "collect."
I only have two pics, but for each game i've included a link to its Boardgamegeek (BGG) entry. BGG is sort of a board game wiki/board game bbs. It's often considered to be the #1 boardgame site on the net. It's certainly a useful site to find out about games.
An Image of my Games Published by Fantasy Flight Games (FFG)
Games in the above image:
Descent is a dungeon crawl, Tide of Iron is low complexity squad level tactical WW2 game, and War of the Ring is probably the definitive LotR boardgame (IMO). Descent and Tide of Iron were developed by FFG, while War of the Ring was merely published by them (Originaly an Italian design IIRC)
An Image of the Rest of my Games (most of them)
Games in the above image:
Games not pictured:
The next three games I want to buy are:
Hive can be played for free online at: Hive Mania - You'll have to read the rules first, but it's pretty simple.
Places to buy boardgames online:
These are just some of the game retailers i frequent, check board game prices for many others.
So there you go.
Sorry I don't collect anything cool like transformers, anime, NGH home carts, or other bullshit from japan. My collection is small, there are guys on the BGG with over 1500 games.
I'm going to being playing Descent later today, so i'll get some pics of the game setup later.

Games in the above image:
- Railroad Tycoon - Actually a great game, despite carrying a big name license.
- Sid Meier's Civilization - Not a very good game (what you'd expect from most licensed products)
- Panzer Grenadier: Eastern Front - A platoon level tactical ww2 combat game
- Beyond Valor - The first module of the Advanced Squad Leader series. Pretty much the definitive WW2 squad level tactical combat game. Not for the feint of heart.
- Nexus Ops - A light wargame where human corporations battle each other for control of resources on an alien planet. Really fun.
- Settlers of Catan - It's on XBL, try it yourself. Essentially a resource gathering/trading/building game. Best with 4 players.
- Ambush! - An older solitare (1 player) tactical ww2 combat game.
- Middle Earth CCG - One deck from my favorite CCG.
Games not pictured:
- Axis and Allies: Miniatures
- Victory: The Blocks of War
- Chess (I built my own board form walnut and oak)
- Castle Keep
- Lord of the Rings Risk
- Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game
- Tactics II
- Target Arnhem: Across 6 Bridges
- Panzer Grenadier: Airborne Introductory Edition
- Star Wars Miniatures: Starship Battles - crap game, don't buy/play it.
The next three games I want to buy are:
- 1870 - an economics game about railroading, part of the "18xx Series."
- Hive - an abstract strategy game about bugs.
- Proteus - a very cool and very cheap chess variant.
Hive can be played for free online at: Hive Mania - You'll have to read the rules first, but it's pretty simple.
Places to buy boardgames online:
- Board Game Prices - This is a board game search engine that searches major online retailers and displays results by price.
- Thought Hammer
- Troll and Toad
- Boulder Games
These are just some of the game retailers i frequent, check board game prices for many others.
So there you go.
