I received Agricola from my brother-in-law, and a $30 gift certificate to my LGS from my folks. I also gave my sister two older copies of games we used to play that she had been looking for (we found them in thrift stores and "restored" them): Connect Four and Guess Who.

What about you folks?

I received 'Ra : The Dice Game' from my wife, 'Its Alive' from a friend, 'Colonia' from my Secret Santa.

My 12 year old son Christian got 'At the Gates of Loyang' from his Secret Santa, 'Bohnanza', 'Pocket Rockets' & the 2nd 'Zooloretto' expansion pack.

So all in all a pretty decent haul for the family.

Glad to hear that you're enjoying 'Agricola', it's Christian's favourite game and he wrote a review on BGG. It was also our last game of 2009... and I won. So I think that makes me the 2009 Gaming Champion of the Universe or something. :D

Quite a haul indeed!

I got Tobago, Pandemic: OTB, and Power Grid. I really like all of them! Plus, my birthday is in a few weeks, so more are on the way!

James: What's your take on Loyang? It was on my list but then I got scared off by some of the reviews.

My brother got me Smallworld from DoW. Seems like a fun game. Haven't had the chance to play with anyone but my 3-year-old daughter (who loves to play with the Skeletons)

I received Ticket to Ride and Zooloretto from friends. I'm hoping to use some of my Christmas money to buy some wargames on my list like Unhappy King Charles and Commands and Colors Ancients expansions.

I receive 2 gift certificate from 2 local store, and I have buy Small World at one place and Finca at another one

I received Arkahm Horror, On the Brink and The Kids of Carcassonne from my father! He's awesome. I got Pandemic and Castle Panic from santa

Christmas was awesome

Arkham Horror is lots of fun especially if you can find the right group of people.
