      That my attitude nowadays with games. If it hasn't gotten played in years it goes on a storage container. From there I will decide what to do. Lately I'd rather give them away to new heavy gamers to enjoy. My conditions, is that the game has to get played. Not sit on a shelf.

    I've got the original Dune printing. It's a great game. A bit more colorful and organized than the reprint but that's fine. Still runs the same as the original from what I've seen which is good. Best played with a good group though. The more people trying to influence everything and chasing spice, the more fun. I wonder if a newer game is just going to be some type of movie adaptation. A new Dungeons & Dragons boardgame sounds very interesting. I'll have to look into that.

    • @BacktotheTable

      I am not a Dune fan but after playing the original (reprint) Dune game I loved it! You are right about having a good group. You need the full player count and a good group of people willing to smack talk and betray each other. D&D is bringing back Dragon Lance and hoping the newer stuff coming out stays true to the originals as my daughter is a huge D&D gamer now and want her to experience some of the earlier stuff.

    Great seeing your game room. Looks like it's coming around. Understand about unreliable house contractors experience the same when I had my house built. Did you build the gaming table!? I was going to but the price of wood skyrocket and I put the project on hold. Have to go and check prices again. Good to hear our next generation is still into D&D. I started off playing common card games poker, blackjack, solitaire than moved into D&D. Should be a good bonding experience for you guys. I've had a few ventures selling some of my games as well so I know what your referring to. If you do a rolling thunder video will look forward to it. Take care.

It actually is not a complicated game on a 10 point scale I would rate it's complexity at a 3 or 4. Not bad at all. The game is very underrated, I feel, and is history based and a lot of fun.
