1 OMG, Why are games getting so exp? on Sat Oct 18, 2008 9:48 am

Yest went to PI to check out on the new games arrival. To amazement i saw that the Z-man games edition of 'Chinatown' sitting nicely at the gaming shelf! Yeah, a must buy for me Very Happy It had be on my wishlist since start of the year, but when i check on the price tag, it was a staggering 114.90!.

I was like what duh? Do games have to get so exp? Is A NEGIOTIATION game worth that much? while i look at 'I m the Boss' selling at 70 bucks, and 'Chinatown' is definitely worthed more, i din expect that much difference. I mean puerto rico is going at 80 bucks and so much more great games are going at the 80 plus range. Even Caylus is going at 100 only.

I got to admit i am abit disgusted at how i am taxed on my boardgaming interest. Any one out there feels the same?

reserved still can buy? Anyways, come to think abt a negiotiation game at 114 bucks compared to el grande at 109 is insane. Somemore got a few expansions with it

Egg u like el grande rite? haha

Totally agree on the escalating prices. Unfortunately, it can't be helped as P.I. has a monopoly on the board games market in Singapore. They're the sole distributor here. Unless someone else takes up the challenge and responsibility of competing in this market.

Given that Agricola was reserved, number one in the ranks and is sold out at a very fast rate, of course i was tempted to buy it. Sad
