My very first entry of my journal I mentioned that I could no longer purchase any more games. While that has not changed one bit, I have managed to get more new games (well, at least new to me) in the past month than I have in any comparable amount of time (sure, a lot of them are card games - but it's not about "dollar value", it's about "fun volume"!). How was that possible?
Game Trading!
I love it! In the past month, I have gotten Hera & Zeus from Mike Frantz (chuckles2000), Cities and Knights of Catan from Caleb Diffell (cnd_77), Coloretto and 6 Nimmt! from Nate Sandall(Cavedog_pdx), and now a mystery game from Scott Lewis (gamegarage)!
Hera & Zeus - I have already played several time with my wife. We both enjoy it even though I've managed to lose EVERY time.
Cities & Knights - I loved Seafarers but I know this one is going to be very different. I'm excited to try it out.
Coloretto - Haven't played yet. Nice to have a lighter card game to pack around now.
6 Nimmt! - Played many games online. Looking forward to playing face-to-face.
As for the unknown game, I'm excited to see what it is. Has it been a good month or what? Lots to look forward to - so now I don't have to mock myself in my solo gaming sessions of Barbarian Prince!

Hey I love cities and Knights, I hope you do too!
Glad to hear someone will enjoy that Hera and Zeus....it just didn't grab anyone around here.
Now Enchanted Forest and Can't Stop are already hits with my 5 year old.
Good to see the games all have happy homes now.
Congratulations on a great haul! Hopefully the hot trading will continue, as everyone benefits (and it's like a game finding and setting up trades). Let us know what you think of C&K and Coloretto.
All the trading excitement lately has made me want to join in, but there isn't enough that I'm willing to part with at the moment... There are just too many games that have hit the table too few times to get rid of!
PS - I also like Cities and Knights an awful lot. Time for it to hit the table again, methinks!
Cheers.
