Yea, the good board games cost tons, but they’re totally worth it if you can get people to play them.

Awesome! Coverage of board games! Looks like my input from the reader survey is going into effect!

Yes, today’s hobby board games have pretty high MSRPs, but in general you can get them 30% off at online retailer sites. $50-$60 is the same you’d pay for a video game or a couple of RPG books.

Ok, I thought there was only one Halo board game. I’ve always seen it and considered it, but was waiting till it dropped to a price I was more willing to pay. $25 isn’t a bad price.

so now I just need to find a group to game with…..

I saw a Halo board game at Borders for about $100. It had adjustable boards and game modes similar to the shooter game. I have not played it, I don’t have much interest in buying it, but I’m going to look at the amazon board game and see if it’s the same. hmmm. . . that’s the same one. Must not have sold very well. I can’t imagine the Halo crowd playing board games particularly often. It seems odd to try to make a board game out of a shooter anyway. Starsraft and Warcraft I can imagine, them being strategy games and all, but isn’t the point of Halo the fast and furious action? Board games aren’t really known for that.

Amazon has the Halo board game for $25. Is there more than one? Or has the priced just dropped through the floor?

I know that the World of Warcraft board game has an MSRP around $100

@Megido: No kidding on the cost. This will have to wait until December. (Unless I can casually mention it to my wife who is LotR obsessed; and she can forego some other luxury…)

I haven’t played a board game in so long… generally because I tell myself, and everybody else that I hate them. Maybe I just need to play board games that are relevant to my interests. This sounds like it could be a hell of a lot of fun, but damn if it isn’t expensive. Since when did board games get so f’n costly?

Worth noting that the current scuttlebutt (at least, last I heard) had Del Toro’s “Hobbit” being a two movie deal; one in a very “GDT” style– the actual Hobbit– then the sequel being the over-throw of the Necromancer in Mirkwood, half-GDT, half-Peter Jackson style.
