Most fantasy games are rather long in nature because of the complexity of the games..

World of Warcraft is ermm..long and its not really that fantastic of a game..

Recommended for me would be A Game of Thrones or Shadows over Camelot.

Of course, if you are looking at like a game thats 3 hours long, you can't go wrong with War of the Ring.

We did get some new fantasy games over the week, and one caught my attention - Runebound.

When is your GF's birthday? Maybe you can drop by Toybox to take a look at some of these games before making a decision smile.gif

Oooo clix...unfortunately all the clixs are kinda ugly tongue.gif Might look at Horrorclix, if my distributor brings it in.

You up for Dreamblade? The new CMG by Wizards of the Coast. The miniatures looks pretty good.

I'll check and get back to you soonest.

edit at 6pm: Checked with my distributor, he doesn't bring these two games in.

If you like the theme of the games, better games than those would be:

Civilization - Tempus or Antike
Age of Mythology - Heroscape

Haha, but if you like it because of its association with the PC game, cant help you there man.

i hav interest in board games like this, but hav few questions to ask. newbie here.

1- the games u stated b4, what are the difference with D&D? or D&D is in the other category than board games?
2- what about all those miniatures? i saw shops sellin mini knights, and quite huge dragons with some sort of dial at the base of it, showing power/toughness i guess...
3- are u selling D&D? how much?
4- how about price for complete set of Memoir 44? if not mistaken, the map can be combine together eh?

thnx. if i hav enuf frens to play these with me + extra cash, i might shift to a new hobby! perhaps, hav to let go MTG. haha~

1. Dungeons and Dragons is a different genre compared to Euro designer board games. It is more like miniature RPG.

2. Mage Knights and the huge dragons with dials belong to a genre of what we call Collectible Miniature Games (CMG). Different from Miniatures (the ones you paint yourself).

3. We don't carry D&D or any CMG at the moment. We will be bringing in miniatures from Rackham in the near future so watch out for that. The miniatures are really beautiful and its metal. We will be organising demos, paint workshops etc to help people get into the hobby.

4. Memoir 44 base set is RM219. I don't have the expansion pricing with me yet.

As for your Magic hobby, we are considering starting draft nights at our place. Let me know if you have friends interested.

edit: Memoir Main board RM219, Expansions (Terrain + Russian Army + Winter/Desert) RM219, Pacific Theatre expansion RM139

So complete set of Memoir '44 is RM577
