Ridiculous packing job to boot. That chip was safe from all manner of NBC warfare.

Cry Havoc is legit, yo. Islebound is a nice Ryan Laukat joint, but that was a prize I won in a charity raffle.

Do you Magic also? That was my hobby before my current two hobbies: poker + chips

Do you Magic also?

I'm something of a filthy casual. My wife and I play casually, and I'll play some Commander. I'll also play in any Grand Prix in the Phx metro or Las Vegas areas. When I was heavy in the TCG scene I was much more prominent as a top-level judge than a player, and did some development and playtesting as well (not for Wizards, though).

I'm much more of a board gamer than a Magic player, favoring the Ameritrash games more than the Euro style. There's only so much "farming in the Mediterranean" I can take.

Hmmm.... how married are you to those chips? There are two in that pic that I'd be willing to trade 5-for-1 of some of the others.....or cash....

Too bad Chandra doesn't fit well in many decks unless I missed a change in meta

Edit: She's a sick card though. I like her in my friend's BR control deck

You're crazy. Agricola is a great game.

We gotta play MTG again sometime. You should build a Commander deck. I've got one and Ben has one but Ben won't play against mine anymore lol

Oh, mechanically they're amazing...Agricola, Caverna, La Granja, Vinhos...most all those Euro games are solid plays. I just can't get past the theme. I give precisely zero shits about farming or pigs or grapes. Now if you told me I was harvesting space diamonds from a remote asteroid under attack from the Imperial Forces of Gorlac, or I was siphoning magical energy from a crystal to keep the orcs at bay, or something along those lines, then I'd have the collectors editions of all of them. But agrarian themes? Pass.
