Deck the halls with mounds of meeples, fa la la la la la la la la! Gift Preferences: Hex and counter wargames - they're an absolute pain in the rear end to find around me so I'd love some if possible. Historical or sci-fi in nature, I've no interest in modern era combat stuff. Would prefer pre-WW2 or if WW2 is your only option then something based around the Pacific threatre. Solo suitability a massive plus (you can play wargames with other people!?) but not by any means a dealbreaker. Literally the only hex and counter game I own is Ogre Pocket Edition (and I guess Battletech if you play with counters) so literally any other game is a win here. Solo boardgames - I already own Friday, Nemo's War, Under Falling Skies and enjoy them all quite a bit. Always happy to try other solo board games but would prefer to avoid roll and writes or anything not specifically designed for solo play / where solo play is an afterthought. Adventure gamebooks / puzzle books - I hear there has been a revival of game books here and there but haven't had a chance to check any out myself. Similarly any of the big interlinking puzzle/mystery books that have been published recently would be cool. Mechanical puzzles - I'm endlessly fascinated with physical puzzles (like for example, the Hanayama cast puzzle range) despite being quite bad at them. Please no Hanayama stuff, despite them being my example, but if you know of any other cool mechanical puzzles I would love to receive one. Dungeon Crawl Classics dice sets - they use some uncommon Zocchi dice in their mix, notably, D5, D6, D7, D14, D16, D24 and D30. So either just some of the uncommon dice on their own so I can mix them with more standard d20 sets or some DDC specific dice sets would be great.

Comstar posted:Something got delivered to me. I will find out what is later today. Hey, super glad you liked them! Funnily enough both of these gifts are Christmas miracles in that both places I got them from swore blind they did not have anything matching what I was asking for until I managed to find them buried in the back of some shelving  Definitely post some pics in the Historical thread when you've got your stuff painted up, I'd love to see the final results! Merry Christmas.

A parcel of festive cheer has arrived! The true Christmas gift - knowing I'm not insane and that it really is a pain in the rear end to find hex games for everyone else in Aus.  My awesome goon santa emailed through two print and play games: I've heard really great things about Hollandspiele's solo games, I had no idea they were available to print and play! This one will definitely be getting printed and assembled in the coming days.  This was also a very spot-on selection and I'm looking forward to trying it out!  The contents of the parcel - Journal 29 is a puzzle book where you work through a narrative by solving a series of puzzles. Solving a puzzle will give you a 'key' that is used in future puzzles. It feels very similar to escape-room-in-a-box style stuff like Exit or Unlocked but contained in a book. Looking forward to diving into this with my wife as we've both got some time off over Christmas.  Thank you very much, goon santa!
