Sorry, I've been slacking!
Add on's available to purchase-

And other items which have been unlocked to go with the base game-
That's where we are at for now! Oh, did I mention they gave the minis to a professional to paint?
Some of my favorites. Check out the rest at the update here.

They still take late pledges.
I'll have to look into it tomorrow.
Saw Cyanide & Happiness' Joking Hazard at Target of all places, so I picked it up. My gaming group loves Cards Against Humanity enough to play it almost every week. This may be similar enough to provide some more fun while also giving those of us who are growing tired of CAH a bit of a reprieve.
Well, we have bought all of the expansions and all of the 3rd party Crabs Adjust Humidity in order to keep things a little more randomized, but yeah, main issue for me is that after seeing a card more than a handful of times, it gets stale. You can still get some enjoyment out of playing, but nowhere near the hilarity of a new card completely blind-siding you for the first time.
I love Splendor and hear they are coming out with an expansion 
Got to play Pandemic Cthulhu and we were lucky enough to pull off a win and close the 4 gates. I think it's better than Pandemic since it has a lot of the same mechanics but shortens the game in a clever way. Very cool game.

Huh, my first time playing I won with 'the Russians'. I'm surprised they didn't suffer in the popularity track (this is where the real victory points are, and if you max this the military player will have a hard time catching you).
Just got secret Hitler and red dragon Inn in the mail. Can't wait to get together with friends (hopefully this weekend) to try it out!

My wife and I played an oldie but a goodie, Mystery Rummy: Jack The Ripper.
I forgot how much fun this game is, and Mike Fitzgerald did a great job adding interesting elements to the classic Rummy game.
Also got to play Blood Rage (which I dominated). Great game which takes about 1 hour and is very interactive:
Glory to Rome. This is a card game where the cards have multiple uses, either as resources, actions, or buildings. Deciding what to play can be tough and watching what your neighbor is doing is essential to winning:
A Study In Emerald. This is one of my favorite games of all time:
And Tigres and Euphretes, a fun game which I am terrible at:
Rainy days are great for boardgaming!

My kids have been playing a lot of Dungeon! lately. We don't have to sit there with a rule book and manual after each turn because they don't understand how to figure out their dice or damage, etc. They can follow the rules themselves, figure out what damage the mobs they're fighting can do and how much damage they are doing to the mobs, and then add up their treasures for the final race to the end. We play with them sometimes, but it isn't necessary. It is fun though.

This is a version that came out in 2012. From what I understand there have been some changes to the game. I never played the older version, so I have no idea.
Ok, I've done this twice and accidentally closed it both times. Legend of the Five Rings is back as a LCG. If you are looking for a very smart 2 player game to get into, the player base is huge and the game is super clever. I love the crap out of this setting and can't wait to play a ton more.
Played Lords of Waterdeep and it's expansion for the first time. Had a better time with it than I think 99% of board games I've played. It has the exact right amount of interactivity with other players that a worker allocation game needs. Planning rounds was a blast and it had enough random elements that I'm excited for the next time I get to play it. Wonderful game. It's for 2-6 players, but I think it's perfect with 4.
My family always made the banker in monopoly, because my parents didn't want to do it, and my brothers weren't as good at math.
I always embezzled the shit out of the bank when no one was looking.

I am waiting on shelving that I kickstarted.
