Journalist: This is your first attendant at the Expo, what's your expectation of it?
Xu Kuaile: This is my first time to attend CAEXPO. Before coming here, we have already evaluated benefit that the CAEXPO can bring us, so we, together with investors from England and Hong Kong come here for business opportunities.
Journalist: What kind of business opportunity are you going to seek for your members at this CAEXPO?
Xu Kuaile: Many members of the UK Chinese Business Association are investors of high-tech products, so we come here for the like opportunities.

Xu Kuaile: The most satisfactory part is a lot of provinces' attendance in this Expo , and we can visit ASEAN pavilions of other countries to learn about their products.

Xu Kuaile: I hope that there are more innovative enterprises coming to Nanning, Guangxi next year.

The day starts at a quick pace; we immediately start climbing to the highest point of the day, Mt. Tierberg (2,371 m. a.s.l.). It is worth finding your bearings where our first destination is concerned: The view to the east extends over the ski area of Silleren above Adelboden to the mountain range with the distinctive Lohner Massif and Mt. Bunderspitz. Kandersteg is just behind there. Our route now leads through the well-known winter sports area of "Adelboden-Lenk...dänk" to the Bummere Pass and ends up at the foot of Mt. Rägeboldshore. We climb over Alpine meadows and past Vorsasse (huts used as a temporary stop on the way up to the mountain pasture in summer) up to the roaring River Simme and past the Barbara Bridge. Falling asleep to the sound of rushing water helps us to forget our descent of more than 1,400 metres.

Media Center Edition PC for less that $1,000 with monitor and speakers. PCIe x16 expansion slot.
No TV tuner. Only basic stereo speakers, and only a 15-inch LCD display when 17-inch is becoming the norm.
Bottom Line
The T6520 is a good-performing budget-priced multimedia PC that can grow as your needs do.
Students and other budget-conscious buyers looking for a multimedia-centric PC might want to consider a low-cost Media Center Edition model. The eMachines T6520 is that company's take on the value Media Center entry, though with a few compromises to reach the $900 price.
These compromises include the lack of a TV tuner, which means that you won't be able to record TV programs with the T6520. What you can do with the T6520 is still notable: view pictures and DVDs, man-age and play music, and of course do all the things a regular PC does. For a student without cable in the dorm, or for a person who wants multimedia without the "vast wasteland" of television, the T6520 might be up your alley.
One thing that fills up fast on a PC used by students is disk space, and the T6520's 200GB drive is fairly impressive at this price (where 120GB or 160GB hard drives are typical). There is a media card slot on the front panel of the system, with a good cross section of the popular media cards found in digital cameras.
Once you have your multimedia data on the T6520, there is a lot of software you can use to view, listen to, and burn your data (that is, if you opt to use the typical Windows desktop interface, not the Media Center's). The T6520 has Microsoft Works with PictureIt for digital photos and Nero 6 for burning CDs and DVDs.
The T6520 has a PCIe x16 graphics expansion slot, so upgrading the 3D graphics is no problem, and there is space for a few more hard drives in the case. The primary hard drive is an ATA/IDE, so all four SATA ports on the mother board are free. The 15-inch LCD monitor that eMachines suggests with this system is okay, but other value systems now offer 17-inch LCD.

Kelly wants Bruins to focus on task at hand, not 0-5 record
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Chip Kelly hasn't gotten too caught up in UCLA's winless start and doesn't want his players to, either.
That's why the Bruins first-year coach downplayed the idea of any extra pressure heading into Saturday's game against California at Memorial Stadium.
"It's all important, we don't categorize things," Kelly said. "Maybe that's to write a story, but that's not the way we approach things. We're trying to win every single day, every single week. That's what our approach is."
UCLA (0-5, 0-2 Pac-12) is one of four FBS schools without a win this season. Nebraska, UTEP and San Jose State are the others.
Kelly, who coached the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers from 2013-16, was brought in to help get the Bruins back on track after consecutive losing seasons. Instead, he's been at the wheel for the school's worst start since 1943 when they lost their first seven on the way to a 1-8 finish.
If there has been a silver lining for Kelly in his rookie season with UCLA, it's been in the way the Bruins have responded to the situation. While criticism from the media and some alumni has increased with each loss, Kelly says his players have handled it.
There have been some signs of progress, too.
Freshman quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson is coming off his best game of the season after completing 27 of 38 passes for 272 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a 31-24 loss to then-No. 10 Washington. Running back Josh Kelley, a junior transfer from UC Davis, ran for a career-best 125 yards against the Huskies and became the first UCLA running back with consecutive 100-yard games since 2015.
"The players have been great," Kelly said. "They know they control their attitude and efforts, and their attitudes and efforts have been fantastic."
California (3-2, 0-2) has its own issues.
The Golden Bears have lost two straight after opening the season with consecutive wins over North Carolina, BYU and Idaho State.
In its last two games, Cal has committed nine turnovers — seven interceptions and two fumbles.
Correcting those issues is more important to Bears coach Justin Wilcox than facing a winless UCLA team.
"I think we've got a mature team in the way we prepare," Wilcox said. "We have a ton of respect for them. Our guys know a lot of those players. They played against them in high school and they know how talented they are."
Here are a few other things to watch in Saturday's game:
Brandon McIlwain ran for two touchdowns in Cal's loss to Arizona and became the first Bears quarterback with multiple rushing TDs in one game since Joe Ayoob had three against New Mexico State in 2005.
Whether that's enough to keep McIlwain in the starting lineup is uncertain. The Bears have had a revolving door at quarterback all season and Wilcox has been fairly secretive with his plans. Ross Bowers began the season as the starter before being replaced for three games by Chase Garbers. McIlwain's start against the Wildcats was his first.
UCLA has won five of the last seven games against Cal, including a 30-27 win in 2017 when JJ Molson made a 37-yard field goal with four seconds remaining. But the Bruins haven't had much luck in Berkeley recently, losing eight of their last nine at Memorial Stadium.
UCLA didn't allow a sack against Washington, the first time this season the Bruins offensive line has pitched a shutout. A big reason? Center Boss Tagaloa, who missed the first three games of the season serving a suspension for violating unspecified athletic department policies. The 6-2, 325-pound Tagaloa, who was a defensive tackle until this past offseason, has stabilized UCLA up front and given the Bruins an anchor in the middle of the offensive line.

The Halloween candy has been portioned out, the hectic rush of Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Sleeveless Drunken Shopping Tuesday have yet to hit us. So here, for your collecting pleasure are a whole bunch of relatively inexpensive gift ideas for the upcoming holiday season!
Sometimes it's hard to shop for your geek friends, family and loved ones. What if you're not sure what to get them? You know they have a stuffed meeple, but that's it. Here then are some suggestions for you!
Last year I posted 60 board games and geek toys for (mostly) under $20. This year, I've upped it to 70 geek gift ideas (board games, RPGs and related neat stuff) that will make great geek gifts all for mostly under $20. These make great gifts as they can be used over and over again. Click the picture to go directly to the purchasing site.
As an added bonus, I've added a bunch of games, toys, books and movies that I very much enjoy, but which don't fall into the under $20 or game categories.
These less expensive games tend to be smaller, making them easier to store and lug around. By way of disclosure, many of these are through amazon, and yes I get a small percentage of any sales. This goes directly in to keeping this site alive. Another trick, Amazon has free shipping for orders of $35 or more, but with Amazon prime, it's free 2nd day shipping on many of these. Remember, if you're a student, prime is free!
Games that have red prices cost over $20. Games that are green are 20 bucks or less. Click the images to go directly to Amazon and DriveThruRPG. All prices are subject to change at the unreadable whim of Amazon.com. PLEASE NOTE: I don't control the pricing at Amazon, as much as I wish I did. These prices change constantly! They may be off by a dollar or two, or you may get really lucky and they may be $5-10 less.
If you have any suggestions you'd like to see on the list, feel free to let me know!
Now, in no particular order, 70 games and table top gifts costing mostly under $20.
My Happy Farm – $17.99
My Happy Farm is a game in which players strive to become the best farmer.
All players have their own farm with four nice animals. They feed those cuties. Animals which are fed well fill their stomachs with tasty food, grow and become longer and longer, even reaching unnatural lengths. The longer your animal, the better a farmer you are. The owner of the longest animal receives bonus points. Animals which aren't fed even one time lose their weight, take offense, and leave their bad master. Moreover, they will take some victory points from the bad master to punish him, so players have to be good and careful farmers and feed their animals well to create Their Own Happy Farm.
This game is surprisingly strategic, and one I love playing with my kids and adults. I loved it so much in fact, I wrote a pretty lengthy review on this under $20 game.
Dungeon Roll – $18.00
One of the first Kickstarter board games I backed, from the always excellent Tasty Minstrel Games comes Dungeon Roll! Awesome box (a treasure chest) and a complete dungeon delve for 1-4 players in this handy little game that can be played in 30 minutes or less. You have assembled your party of hearty adventurers and have a few tricks up your sleeve. How far will you go to seek glory and fame? Will you risk losing everything? In Dungeon Roll the player's goal is to collect the most experience points by defeating monsters, battling the dragon, and amassing treasure. Each player selects a Hero avatar, such as a Mercenary, Half-Goblin, or Enchantress, which provides them with unique powers. Then players take turns being the Adventurer, who boldly enters the dungeon seeking glory.
I kickstarted this title and I have not regretted it a single bit! For $18 you get an entire dungeon delve built around dice and your character cards. My 7 year old and 10 year old enjoy this game, and all of the adults I've played it with enjoy it too. Plus… look at that awesome box!
Frog Juice – $10.00
This is a family favorite in my home. My 8 year old and I spend at least three nights a week playing this before she goes to bed. Strategic enough to be fun, easy enough for an 8 year old to beat me. How would you create a magic spell? You might need some unicorn horn or some eye of newt, or maybe some bats or toadstools or star and moon dust. But be forewarned as you're stirring up your potion–you'd better be wary of a black cat or the powerful All-Purpose Witch Wash! One of your opponents might even be brewing up an Uglifying Spell. ("Results guaranteed to crack mirrors at a single glance!") All of these magical ingredients are part of Frog Juice, an imaginative card game for two to four players that uses fairy-tale elements from fair maids to frogs to create a game that both kids and adults will enjoy. This game of strategy includes 44 ingredient cards and 15 power cards, each with an illustration that looks like it came straight out of a fairy-tale book. Cards are played in the center of the game and then captured by other players by matching numerical values or by using stronger powers.
Slide 5 – $7.50
Based on the European card game sensation 6 Nimmt, Slide 5 is a quick-to-learn card game of luck and strategy. Players arrange their cards on the playing surface building "hills." Once a hill gets 5 cards high, the 6th card will cause an "avalanche" and that player must take all of the cards in that row, leaving the sixth card to start a new hill. With all the players revealing the cards they wish to play at the same time, there's always unpredictable fun and dilemma at every turn! For 2-10 players. Slide 5 is easy to learn and instantly addictive! Age: 8 + Manufacturer: Endless Games

Hey! That's my fish! – $11.99
Here's a fun little game that I enjoy with my kids, which also works with adults. I'm finding a lot of these games branded towards children that can be just as cut-throat as a 4 hour game of Talisman. Hey, That's My Fish. is an engaging, award-winning board game of strategic fish hunting, in which 2-4 players control determined penguins hungry for their next meal on a bustling Antarctic ice floe. Since Hey, That's My Fish. was originally published in 2003, it has become widely popular as an engrossing and strategic board game for casual family and tactical play. This definitive edition of the game includes 60 hexagons to create your ice floe with new artwork renditions of fish, 1 rules sheet and 16 newly sculpted, colorful and animated penguin miniatures.
But wait, there's more! Read on for all the rest of the deals.
Werewolves of Millers Hollow – $10.99
Werewolves of Miller's Hollow is a game that takes place in a small village which is haunted by werewolves. Each player is secretly assigned a role – Werewolf, Villager, or special character such as The Captain, The Hunter, the Witch, the Little Girl, The Seer and so on… There is also a Moderator player who controls the flow of the game. The game alternates between night and day phases. At night, the Werewolves secretly choose a Villager to kill. During the day, the Villager who was killed is revealed and is out of the game. The remaining Villagers (normal and special villagers alike) then deliberate and vote on a player they suspect is a Werewolf, helped (or hindered) by the clues the special characters add to the general deliberation. The chosen player is "lynched", reveals his/her role and is out of the game. Werewolf is a social game that requires no equipment to play, and can accommodate almost any large group of players.

Mr. Jack (Pocket Edition) – $14.50
This time he won't get away! Discover the pocket version of Mr. Jack the favorite investigation game of strategy game players! As in the board version a player takes on the role of the inspector trying to unmask Jack the Ripper while the other player takes on the role of the fleeing criminal. The difference is in the game mechanics: the infernal pursuit now takes place on a board that's 3 squares to a side each square representing both a London street and one of the nine suspects. around the board are placed a Holmes a Watson and a police dog token. On each turn the first player (the inspector or Jack in turn) uses 4 action tokens which allow to move the investigator tokens to reorient the tiles or to draw a "suspect card". A suspect is visible only if the investigator can see that suspect in the streets in front of him. Suspects hidden by buildings are invisible. At the end of each turn the player in the role of Jack must say if the guilty character is visible or not. If that character isn't visible Jack earns an hourglass. If the Jack player can earn 6 hourglasses that player wins the game (knowing that hourglasses are earned by remaining invisible and by drawing "suspect" cards). The inspector wins if there's only a single suspect left at the end of a turn.
Ghooost! – $16.50
Ghooost. is a fast, easy-to-learn card game with a Halloween-based theme and lots of twists and turns. Play your cards wisely to get rid of all the ghosts, undead, vampires, zombies and other spooky creatures haunting your mansion.

Don't let the MENSA game winner thing scare you off either. I play this game all the time with my seven year old and we love it. It's a fairly simple game of playing out your hand, getting the high cards on the lower cards. Add in the twist of having to take the entire pile of cards, if you fail, and special cards that add twists and turns to the game.
Argyle & Crew – $9.25 print $2.99 PDF
Disclosure: This is my game, written and designed by me! It's a great gift for RPGers with kids but know that it's mine. It's a collaborative storytelling adventure for kids. It's a great pick up game for adults. The land of Skcos is inhabited by all manner of things, but primarily its inhabitants belong to a race of ever changing, always interesting creatures called Soppets. Soppets are a magical breed of intelligent, funny, thrill seeking socks. Yes, you read that correctly, Socks. Argyle & Crew is a free wheeling system powered by imagination. Rather than a character sheet like a traditional RPG, your character and it's attributes are all based on a sock puppet, or in Skcos lingo, a Soppet. Each Soppet has several unique qualities which allow it to do extraordinary things! Argyle & Crew is great game for children as young as 4 years old. Short scenarios and active participation keep things lively! Useful as a learning tool not just for gaming, but for life lessons, Argyle & Crew can easily be used in a classroom setting. Professionals working on counseling children can find this game equally useful for indirectly or directly exploring past experiences and future anxieties. Use the additional rules for older children or adults and expand the game from a fun, play driven activity to a fully developed RPG. PDF version.
Sleeping Queens – $9.42
Imagine a place where there?s a queen of all pancakes, a king of cookies and a pack of over-protective dragons? If this sounds like something out of a dream, it actually is! Sleeping Queens was invented by 6-year-old Miranda Evarts, who thought up the game one night when she couldn?t fall asleep. She awoke the next morning and with help from her older sister, Madeleine and her parents, Denise and Max created this wonderfully whimsical world of napping nobles. As you immerse yourself in the Evarts? fantasyland, you will find a game that helps develop memory, strategy, and elementary arithmetic skills.

Or will you delve deep into level 6 and set your sights on the Purple Worm or the Red Dragon? Along the way, you'll have to face off against such iconic monsters as the Black Pudding, the Drow, and even the Owlbear.
No Thanks – $9.99
Good card games can be so simple: either take a card or pay a chip. Anyone can make that decision, right? However, there's a catch – in fact there are two. Nobody wants the cards, not even for free, because they give you points in a game where you need to have the fewest points to win. And the chips? They are scarce, very scarce.
Skip Bo – $9.99
A member of Mattel's popular family of Uno card games, Skip-Bo resembles speed (or spit) in the same way that Uno takes after crazy eights. Out of a 162-card deck, two to six players are each dealt 20-card "stockpiles"; the first one to deplete their pile wins. Competing either alone or in teams, players draw from a central pile and stack their cards sequentially onto one of four "build" piles (for example, an eight onto a seven, a three onto a two), using plentiful Skip-Bo wild cards to break up static situations. Deceptively simple and ingeniously designed, this classic game offers plenty of strategizing opportunities, or it can just make a nice backdrop to socializing and munching on potato chips.
Tsuro – $22.65
Here is the most chill and zen game I think I have every played. It's the perfect rainy day game, or to play after you've just won or been defeated in some kind of heavy Euro. Create your own journey with Tsuro, the Game of the Path. Place a tile and slide your stone along the path created, but take care. Other player's paths can lead you in the wrong direction – or off the board entirely. Find your way wisely to succed. Stay the path – your journey begins here.
Gamers: Dorkness Rising – $9.99 HD download
The epitome of indie film geeky goodness – they get everything right about the hobby, the folks who play it and the real magic that can happen. Read my review here on TitC. Struggling writer Lodge (Nathan Rice) isn't asking for much: he wants his gaming group to finish playtesting his table-top adventure, rather than killing, looting, and debauching his fantasy world. Desperate to save the integrity of his story from the whims of his players' crazy characters-a horny bard, wild sorceress, and cryptic monk-Lodge allows Joanna (Carol Roscoe), Cass's (Brian Lewis) ex-girlfriend, to join the game. With Joanna's help, the group's characters trek deep into the fantasy game world to retrieve the Mask of Death from the evil necromancer Mort Kemnon (Geoff Gibbs). Will their choices in the game save their friendships in real life . . . or will Mort Kemnon triumph unopposed? HD Download.

Gary Simpson has done a masterful job on the original artwork, that has to be seen to be appreciated.
Onirim – $12.58
Onirim is a solo/cooperative card game: you (and a partner) must work (together) against the game, and gather the 8 Door cards before the deck runs out; you can obtain those Door cards either by playing cards of the same color three turns in a row, or by discarding -under specific circumstances- one of your powerful Key cards. In both cases you will have to decide the best use of each card in your hand, and carefully play around the Nightmares. Those cards are hidden in the deck and will trigger painful dilemmas when drawn…
Bag O Zombies – $11.50
Looking for a stocking stuffer? Why not stuff a stocking full of 100 glow in the dark zombies? Imagine the fun as candy and other small gifts are carefully separated from the zombie horde!

The game is for 2 to 7 players and it takes 20-60 minutes to play.
Castle Keep – $11.86
Transport yourself to a time when protecting your possessions meant defending your keep, the most secure part of the castle. Keeps were often called "great towers" because of their imposing structure – walls over 10' thick and 75' high. They served various functions, from last resort strongholds during battle to sites of castle dungeons. While there are few remaining keeps still standing today, you can get a small taste of what it was like to build and defend a castle in this game that is simple to learn, yet full of strategy and decision-making elements that will challenge all ages. This is another fun game that's marketed towards kids but can be played quickly and strategically by a group of adults as well. We love it with the kids and I wouldn't hesitate to spend a half hour on it with my gaming group either.

The Resistance – $15.84

Timeline – $11.40
Was the light bulb invented after or before glasses? With Timeline, learn the answer to this question and thousands of others by comparing your knowledge or hunches to historic reality. At the beginning of the game, players all get the same number of cards representing monuments, inventions, etc. On the back of each card is a date. To begin, one card is randomly drawn from those not given to players. This card is placed in the middle of the table, date-side up and is the starting point of a chronological line which will slowly be built by the players. The first player then chooses one of their cards. If the player thinks that the invention on their card came before that of the initial card, the player places their card to the left of the initial card. If they feel that the invention on their card was created after, it is placed to the right of the initial card. The player's card is then turned date-side up. If the player was right, it remains on the table. Otherwise, the card is discarded and a new one must be drawn to replace it. Play proceeds clockwise. The more cards which are correctly played, the harder it is to correctly place new ones. The first player to get rid of their cards wins.

By far my favorite deck building game, and ranking very high in my top 10 games of any type. Deep strategy in a simple package!

Castle Panic – $23.00
This game is how I introduced my kids to cooperative games, where the game is the opponent and all of the players are playing to beat it together. In Castle Panic players must work together to defend their castle, in the center of the board, from monsters that attack out of the forest, at the edges of the board. Players trade cards, hit and slay monsters, and plan strategies together to keep their castle towers intact. The players either win or lose together, but only the player with the most victory points is declared the Master Slayer.
Hanabi – $10.99
Here's an incredibly popular, award winning card game about fireworks for under $11. It's so popular that for a good while you couldn't even buy it as it was between print runs. It's back now, and while I haven't played it yet, it's been getting rave reviews. In this challenging cooperative card game, players work together to launch a spectacular firework display. Trouble is, it's dark out, so you can't really see what you are working with. Each player holds their cards so that only the other players can see them.

Helping each other play the right cards at the right time is the key to creating an unforgettable show and avoid being booed by the audience.
Loch Ness – $27.20
A kid friendly euro-game which my kids very much enjoy! Check out my full review for more. For decades reporters from the around the world have been on the hunt for the Loch Ness monster. But lately reports of sightings of Nessie have been increasing. Such reports naturally have drawn such reporters as the attractive belinda viewing from New York, the half-belgian claude McMirror, the clever Filosa Sharp, as well as her Londoner competitor Jack Nesstee and even Nils the Blitzen from Denmark to the loch.

A Catan adventure for fledgling swashbucklers.

Be the first player to control seven pirate hideouts and you win the game.
Fools! – $11.99
Disclosure: This is also my game, and makes a heck of a fun, fast card game! Fools! Is a fast paced and fun card game that can be played with 2-4 players in less than half an hour. Each player takes the part of a Fairy Lord who brings their vast host of fairies to a grand tourney held once a year. Over the course of a day, many battles are fought in the Grand Tourney, giving individual fairies a chance to show their skills on the field of battle. As a Fairy Lord, you will use all of your magic and power to fill your armies with the most powerful fairies. If you sometimes slip a poor little sprite (or even a fool) into your opponents army, or replace one of your brownies with a knight, well it's not cheating if it's done magically! But be careful for the Fairy Queens, Kings and Champions will not stand for any trickery!
Lost Temple – $27.50
Another game we play a lot at home. Select a roll or three and go tromping through the jungle! Great for kids and adults to play together.

Dixit – $25.03
Dixit is a really cool storytelling game that works well with hardcore gamers and novices. My kids have enjoyed a few rounds of this as well. The players have hands of oversized cards with various artistic pictures. The active player secretly selects one of his cards and gives a very brief description. The other players secretly select their own cards which match the description. The chosen cards are shuffled and revealed, then players vote on which was chosen by the active player. Each correct answer gives points to the guesser and the active player. Each incorrect answer gives points to the player who submitted the guessed card. However, if all of the guesses are correct — or none of them are — then the active player gets no points and all the other players get points. The game ends when the deck is empty. The greatest total wins the game.
Enchanted Forest – $17.14
Here's a great game for a family with kids as young as five. It involves a bit of strategic thinking, a good memory and lots of luck which means even the youngest can win. Plus, I really like the tactile feel of this game with trees sticking up off of the board. Combining memory and strategy, Ravensburger's Enchanted Forest is a challenging game in an engaging medieval setting. Designed for two to six players, each participant ventures across the map in search of items from your favorite fairy tales.

Martinique – $8.18
Number 61 on our list is a suggestion from another Reddit user! Z-man's Martinique. An ancient legend says a great pirate treasure is buried on the island of Martinique. Pirates would have attacked various merchant vessels, confiscated their loads and eventually sunk the ships. Afterwards they would have brought the stolen jewels, objects and coins to the island to bury the treasure over there. Many have tried to find the Lost Treasure, but nobody has succeeded so far. You are the captain of a pirate ship heading for Martinique. After dropping anchor in the morning, you set off in a rowboat towards the island with four of your most loyal pirates to find the Lost Treasure. Will you unravel the legend and add your name to the illustrious list of great pirates and rulers of the seven seas?

Chessex Pound of Dice – $20.86
#62 could be an invaluable resource to any gamer. There are approximately 100 factory-second dice in this bag.(Number of dice will vary with the mix- four-siders are lighter than other shapes, for example.) These dice are mixed in a variety of styles & colors. Every bag does not necessarily have every style & color.

Martian Dice – $17.95
Billed as the more complex of the three staple tiny dice games, Zombie Dice, Cthulhu Dice and this! Your mission, Martians, is to swoop down on the pathetic denizens of the primitive planet "Earth", and to scoop up as many of the inhabitants as you can manage. We are interested in samples of the Chicken, Cow, and Human populations, so that we can determine which of them is actually in charge. The Earthlings might manage to put up a feeble defense, but surely nothing that a small taste of your Death Rays can't handle. Make Mars proud be the first Martian to fill your abduction quota.
Get Bit – $19.50
Get Bit! is a card game where players are competing to stay alive as the others are being eaten by the shark. The order of the swimmers is determined by simultaneously playing cards face-down then revealing the values. The number on each players card determines position in line (higher numbers in front, lower numbers in back), however ties do not move. The swimmer at the back loses a limb to the shark and is flung to the front of the line! The process is repeated until only two swimmers remain on the table. When this happens, the swimmer at the front of the line wins the game!
Love Letter – $10.00
Sixteen cards, a bunch of wooden cubes and a velvet bag. It doesn't sound like much but this game is possibly one of the most well designed and replayable small card games on the market right now. And it's only $10 on top of that! I cannot recommend Love Letter enough! All of the eligible young men (and many of the not-so-young) seek to woo the princess of Tempest. Unfortunately, she has locked herself in the palace, and you must rely on others to bring your romantic letters to her. Will yours reach her first? Love Letter is a game of risk, deduction, and luck for 2 to 4 players. Your goal is to get your love letter into Princess Annette's hands while deflecting the letters from competing suitors. From a deck with only sixteen cards, each player starts with only one card in hand; one card is removed from play. On a turn, you draw one card, and play one card, trying to expose others and knock them from the game. Powerful cards lead to early gains, but make you a target. Rely on weaker cards for too long, however, and your letter may be tossed in the fire.
Summoner Wars Elves/Orcs Start Set – $19.28
What was once a fertile land of unparalleled beauty was replaced by a wasteland of ice. Now the Phoenix Elves, trapped for millennia in their volcanic halls, have found a Summoning Stone and are ready to seek revenge for the destruction of the Summerlands.

Summoner Wars: Phoenix Elves vs. Tundra Orcs gives players everything they need to join the War for Itharia, as either of these great races. Will you play the Phoenix Elves, whose magic and ferocity burn as brightly as their anger? Or will you play the Tundra Orcs, and bury the world in a graveyard of ice?
Things that may not quite be board games, or certainly are not under $20 but are still awesome in my book
Lego Battle of Helm's Deep – $90.80
It's freaking Helm's Deep. HELM'S DEEP.
The Helm's Deep fortress set features a 6-inch-high outer wall, a 9-inch tower with horn, and an inner throne room. When the three pieces are connected together, this set measures 20 inches wide.

The Secret World of Arrietty – $20.00

Trains – $43.00
This deck builder/board game looks to be amazing. I haven't yet tried it but I'm very excited to do so! It's on my wish list. Manage Modern Railways. The railways of today are amazing things and bullet trains, freight trains and more keep entire countries running. From transporting the populace to carrying essential materials, trains play an integral part in a nation's power and economic development. You will start with a small set of cards, but by building a more effective deck throughout the game, you will be able to place stations and lay rails over the maps of Osaka or Tokyo. Gain enough points from your railways and you will ultimately manage the most powerful railroads in modern Japan. This English edition of Trains, designed by Hisashi Hayashi, features updated graphics, artwork and streamlined card abilities. With extensive replay value, Trains is one game you won't want to leave the station without.
Talisman 4th Edition – $40.83
The original board game that got me into this hobby in the first place was Talisman, 2nd edition. I played the hell out of that game. Now, FFG has the 4th edition out, rescued from Black Isle Games and it's a fantastic rendition of the Talisman spirit! You can read my complete and very long review for more concise information. Talisman is one of those games that are just damned fun to play. It's simple enough that anyone who enjoys playing games can pick it up easily and enjoy the game. Its complex enough that you can implement real strategies depending on which character you're playing in your quest to dominate the world. It is reminiscent of many fantasy based RPGs, yet it's a board game. You have characters that you play, dice to roll, and various cards to do different things to you and the other players. It can be cut-throat and joyfully random as well. Plus, you can get turned in to a toad, a feature I very much enjoy.
Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus 16 Ton Megaset – $60.00
Ah, the Pythons! I still have very fond memories of watching this show on PBS with my dad. Here you'll find every episode of the Python's BBC career along with a whole ton of extras and live performances! Pythonites will want to own this definitive megaset that contains all 45 episodes (in chronological order) of Monty Python's Flying Circus. This "persistently silly" collection encompasses three-and-a-half seasons of dead parrots, cross-dressing lumberjacks, loonies, upper class twits, and spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, and spam. Click past the occasional clunker and go directly to such signature sketches as the Ministry of Silly Walks, the Spanish Inquisition, the Fish-Slapping Dance, the Dead Parrot Sketch, the Lumberjack Song, the Cheese Shop, the Argument Clinic, and Nudge, Nudge. Taken as a whole, one marvels at how Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Terry Gilliam thoroughly subverted television convention with "something completely different," like sketches with no punch lines ("Your average TV viewer isn't going to understand this").
Lords of Waterdeep – $42.00
What do you get when you combine a Dungeons & Dragons theme with a eurogame style of play, and make it easy enough that someone with very little modern board gaming experience can enjoy the heck out of it? Lords of Waterdeep! Waterdeep, the City of Splendors—the most resplendent jewel in the Forgotten Realms, and a den of political intrigue and shady back-alley dealings. In this game, the players are powerful lords vying for control of this great city.

Day by Day Armageddon – $12.50
This is one of the first zombie books I read and actually enjoyed! Well thought out, well paced and plotted. There are a few rough edges to the book itself but as a whole, it's thoroughly enjoyable! Sporadic news reports indicate chaos and violence spreading through U.S. cities. An unknown evil is sweeping the planet. The dead are rising to claim the Earth as the new dominant species in the food chain.This is the handwritten journal depicting one man's struggle for survival.

Robotech: The Complete Series – $43.99
I loved the Robotech series brought to the US by Harmony Gold in all its bastardized glory. As a kid, two episodes came on just as I was getting home from 5th grade and I couldn't have been more sucked in by a television series. 2028 minutes of Robotech episodes and specials. ROBOTECH is a sweeping science-fiction anime epic of humans defending their home world against alien domination. The saga is told through the eyes of characters caught up in a series of wars that erupts when a mysterious spacecraft crash-lands on Earth at the turn of the millennium. The secrets of alien knowledge aboard this vessel were unlocked, leading to the development of "Robotechnology" and the creation of a vast arsenal of robotic "mecha" to defend the Earth against the alien threats that would eventually strike to lay claim to the mysterious power source known as "protoculture."
Actual Edible Haggis form Caledonian Kitchen – $26.00
If you're going to go with the game Haggis above, and want to carry that theme one step further, here you go. Also great for people who love the Scottish culture, claim Scottish ancestry but have never actually eaten a Haggis. Now you can watch with glee as they cook up and consume some in front of you. For those who are curious, I have actually eaten a Haggis. It was wonderful, but there was a surprising amount of Single Malt Scotch involved, and I was actually in Scotland having the time of my life, so my recollection may be colored a bit.
