First up, let me say that me and a few friends are planning to set up a shop that deals with renting out board games. Of course, we also deal with Trading Card Games such as MTG, VS System, Pokemon, Yugioh and others.

Currently, our stock of board games are of the usual genre such as Hotel, Monopoly in Normal version, Star Wars and LOTR, Cluedo and a few more others. We are planning to bring in harder to find games such as World of Warcraft, Settlers of Catan etc. We are also looking into the possibility of renting out card games such as Munchkins, Killer Bunnies and a few more.

The pricing will be affordable and there will be ample of space for you and your friends to enjoy a fun day of traditional gaming. For miniature fans, we are also looking at setting up a miniature corner where you can have tables to play your various miniatures games.

All I am asking is that all you hobby enthusiasts share your feedback on whether you will be willing to visit such a shop and what you would like to see in such a shop. Suggestions on what board games to bring in would also be great for us.

Thank you for reading this and I hope that we shall see traditional gaming spreading its influence once more. By the way, the shop will be located in Petaling Jaya with easy access via LRT.

Two threads talking about the same thing is called redundancy. If you want to post a convenient link, stick it in your sig and be active. Others will notice it then.

Before you go all out to accuse people of blatant advertising, I suggest you read the threads carefully.

1. This thread is about Toybox, announcing a place where hobby gamers can gather and any events specifically linked to us such as tutorials, workshops etc

2. The Settlers and Carcassonne qualifers is not, and I repeat, is NOT, exclusive to Toybox.

3. That thread in the Events page will contain all relevant info including other venues, dates and even the Nationals.

I am grateful that LYN has such dedicated mods to patrol the forums but before you start accusing, it is better if you start checking with the relevant parties before shooting off.

How would you like it if there are more than one thread discussing the same topic scattered everywhere? Redundancy is not illegal, it is frowned upon. I think some order is necessary for the overall enjoyment of the forum.

If you want to ask me stuff, you are always free to PM me. Let's not spam this thread with anymore unnecessary offtopic discussion.

Super Munchkin and War of the Ring is now available for rent at Toybox!

Super Munchkin, just like Munchkin (the original), is written by Steve Jackson and it parodies the superheroes. A card-based boardgame, Super Munchkin is a stand-alone game, or it can be combined with other Munchkin games.

Previous sets have seen Munchkins taking on space wars, kung-fu warrior and creatures of the night. A fun game for 3-6 players, Super Munchkins allows players to become a Mutant, an Exotic, a Mystic or a Techno.

From the wimpy Bucketman all the way up to Big Ol' Planet Eater Guy Himself, you can battle dastardly masterminds, devastating monsters, and invading aliens from the next dimension.

Pics of Super Munchkins

The War of the Ring is an epic board game experience that allows its players to immerse themselves in J.R.R. Tolkein's classic story and experience its epic action, dramatic conflict, and the memorable characters of The Lord of the Rings.

While the Fellowship of the Ring advances towards Mordor, the Dark Lord Sauron tries to find the location of the Ring-bearer, and unleashes his armies against the last strongholds of the Free Peoples.

Ticket To Ride Now For Rent - Hop on to your trains!

Ticket to Ride, a multiple award winner, is available for rent NOW at Toybox. With elegantly simply gameplay, Ticket to Ride can be learned in 3 minutes, while providing players with intense strategic and tactical decisions every turn.

Players collect cards of various types of train cars they then use to claim railway routes in North America. The longer the routes, the more points they earn. Additional points come to those who fulfill Destination Tickets - goal cards that connect distant cities; and to the player who builds the longest continuous route.

Ticket to Ride author, Alan R. Moon said, "The tension comes from being forced to balance greed - adding more cards to your hand; and fear - losing a critical route to a competitor."

At only RM2.50 per head per day at Toybox, enjoy Ticket to Ride and other award winning games such as Settlers of Catan, Memoir '44 and other card-based games such as Super Munchkins and Citadels.

Hehe..not Alex here but a friend of his...part owner as well..Alex takes care of the place only on Sundays so feel free to visit him then or drop by and say hi to me (Nicholas btw)...I am mostly there on Saturdays smile.gif

No Warhammer or Mage Knights players have visited us yet, although we have a setting for such purposes. Hoping to start a miniature tutorial soon to attract new people smile.gif

Reporting on two game sessions that went on for the last two days at Toybox where I wasn't a participant except for one game. Came too late to join the other games.

14/07

When I arrived, 4 gamers were already in the midst of a busy Ra session. Even from outside, I can hear people shouting "RA!". This was possibly the third or fourth bidding game that I have already seen and it seems to be one of the better ways to eliminate the "lucky" dice roll element of board games.

The game is played over a period of 3 kingdoms of ancient Egypt and once the final Ra tile is placed, the tiles are wiped from the board. Each kingdom period also ends when all players have finished up their bidding coins. There were certainly a lot of strategy in play and one of the strategy that was immediately identified was the "chicken" method where you just play out to be the last guy remaining on the board and hope to sweep a lot of good tiles.

After that, we adjourn to dinner before returning to the shop. As there 6 of us by now, we decided to split the group into two. One group went on to play Railroad Tycoon brought by Marcus while the other group (includes me) went on to try out another Egyptian game, Amun Re.

Amun Re was another bidding game but this time we had to make sacrifices to Amun Re to generate our money. The game was split into two kingdom - Old Kingdom and New Kingdom. It was certainly mind grappling to see what strategies we can employ. Do we build everything in the Old Kingdom or do we start building on our points in the New Kingdom after everyone has developed some of the provinces up for grabs. I went ahead and tried to garner as much points in the first round of scoring (which is after the Old Kingdom) and try to just sustain myself in the New Kingdom with a few "power" cards that gave me bonuses. That worked out well as my lead was too huge to be overtaken by the end of the New Kingdom. I felt that this game was better than Ra and all of us have agreed to take on the game on another day.

After that, I walked over to the Railroad Tycoon table and "WOW!". The board was massive and I was pretty much awe-struck. I felt like I was Lex Luthor in the Superman movie except it is not really 3D terrain and there were no moving trains. I was not there at the start of the game so I can't comment much but the feedback I got was that Railroad Tycoon is a very, very interesting game. I am tempted to buy one and put it at the shop smile.gif

15/07

Was busy WoWing (World of Warcraft online) at home so I stepped into the shop late. By then, we already had 5 gamers in the middle of Amun Re. Looks like there were more Egyptian voodoo going on that time at Toybox. 5-player definitely was more interesting than 3-player that we had the previous night. As this time, most of the provinces were developed and players were trying to get to the best pieces while trying to fulfill the requirements of "power" cards to give them more points in the end. The winner was finally Hong, who followed the same strategy as I did yesterday - amassing more points in the Old Kingdom.

After this game, I was told that another group tried Fury of Dracula earlier in the day. Was not sure how that went but I won't be surprised if they have been bitten smile.gif

After Amun Re, some of them decided to leave for Saturday night plans while 5 of us stayed behind to play somemore games. 3 of them was going to try Caribbean and Amazonas so I opted out just to teach them how to play the games. Caribbean was fun at the start but it kinda went into a draggy mode in the end. That was one of the comment as they find that they were almost bidding for the same ships at the end. I did point out a few different strategies they could have tried which would not have paid off anyway because someone moved another ship away smile.gif

They were happier with Amazonas and the 18 rounds flew by pretty quickly. Some of them forgot about their secret mission cards but luckily they still managed to complete them right before the game ended.

All in all, it was another two great days of gaming and we might just drop by again tomorrow for one more session.

In conjunction with Halloween on October 31, Toybox is starting our celebration early with the hunt for the perfect dracula. Your skills as a dracula will be pitted against 4 hunters from Toybox in the game, Fury of Dracula. Winning the game against us will put you in the running for the final battle on Halloween. As a token of your hardwork, the best Dracula also stands to win a little something from us in line with the Halloween theme. Does Jack Skellington sound familiar to you?

Then you will want to get your hands on these gashapons...

user posted image

The challenges for our four elite hunters will begin in August leading up to a final battle in October. To arrange for your challenge, email Nicholas Leong at n.leong@toybox.com.my or call me at 012-2675003.

No idea what Fury of Dracula is? Not a problem, just drop by Toybox before Halloween and say these magic words "I want to learn how to be a dracula" and you will be given a free tutorial on the game.

Let the hunt begin.

ps: Our Halloween event will be anounced on a later date.

Toybox is pleased to announce three new games into our expanding library!

Railroad Tycoon
Revisit the early days of the Age of Steam as you begin with a locomotive (the venerable John Bull, the first locomotive to run in North America) and a vision (your Tycoon "mission" card). From there, build your budding railroad network into a vast empire. Connect New York to Chicago, earn the most money, develop bigger and faster locomotives and maybe even span North America and build the Transcontinental Railway!

Lost Cities
In Lost Cities, another card game in the Kosmos two-player series, the object is to mount profitable expeditions to one or more of the five different lost cities. Card play is quite straightforward, with a few agonizing moments sprinkled through what is mostly a fast-moving game. If you start a given expedition, you'd better make some progress in it, or it'll score you negative points. If you can make a lot of progress, you'll score quite well. After three rounds, the highest total score takes the day.

Bang!
The outlaws hunt the Sheriff. The Sheriff hunts the Outlaws. The Renegade plots secretely, ready to take one side or the other. Bullets fly. Who among the gunmen is a Deputy, ready to sacrifice himself for the Sheriff? And who is a merciless Outlaw, willing to kill him? If you want to find out, just draw (your cards)!

Come and test them out today!

If you are there on a Sunday, ask for Alex - our resident Pokemon expert.

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

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

Hi Counterbalance,

First of all, sorry for the late reply. Was away from the country. The WoW Release Celebration Party details are as below:

Date: Nov 4th
Time: 11.30am
Venue: Toybox of course

We will definitely be running the Buy a starter, Get to Play event with a Extended Art card given to everyone who joins. First come, first serve of course.

We are now considering running a 6-packs Sealed deck later in the day as well.

As for the support, UDE has not announced the Organized Play structure but I heard that it would be great. It might not have prize money but good stuff will be given out in terms of Extended Arts, Online Game Items etc

As we always say, play the game because its fun, not because of the money wink.gif

Hi zio,

thnx for the information.. appreciate it.. biggrin.gif

regarding the support rite, i was actually more concern about the game's lifespan.. I am not supporting playing the game for the money but i personally feel tht support is important to sustain the game. Plus, i personally enjoy more on competative play than casual which is why i asked so.. I enjoy participating in tournaments (minor or major) and also have a lot fun in the process of practicing for events. I really hope to look forward for such senario for WOW TCG.. icon_rolleyes.gif

Btw, is there any news on the upcoming PC Sdyney for VS.system which would be held in 2007? i.e. formats and date..

cheers.gif

As for WoW, hobby leagues will be held regularly just like our VS hobby leagues at Toybox. UDE will be announcing alot of Organized Play support for WoW so competitive play is definitely there.

We no longer carry Neopets TCG packs. Sorry about that man.

If you can gather some people interested in the game, maybe you guys can share a box and I'll bring it in.

Singles for neopets? Thats the personal collection of the shopkeeper.

You need to drop by to the shop to ask him for it. I have no idea whats in it.

Price for Munchkins set ranges from RM119 - RM139. A munchkins base set with all the expansions should set you back about RM119 x 5 = RM595 or so.

Ok, just got news that the shipment will be in KLIA this Saturday. Was hoping to make it before Christmas but looks unlikely now.

As for Confrontation, it will arrive in KLIA today, and we are looking AT-43 to arrive next week.

We have Doom for demo and for sale. It is kinda horror-ish. We also have Fury of Dracula for rent.

As for sale, the new Arkham Horror expansion just arrived, Dunwich Horror.

Well Doom is a scenario-based game so you need a dungeon master so to speak.

Fury is full of surprises because its essentially 4 hunters going round the world looking for 1 dracula.

Marvel, DC they all can play together!

We are trying our best to revive VS System but its been an uphill battle. I will have a chance to talk with the UDE top guys in the Sydney Pro Circuit so I will see what I can do to help revive the situation here.

We used to run Hobby leagues but it kinda stopped because we don't have the promos anymore.

Just walk up to our shop, and talk to the store keeper. We are all VS enthusiasts here. Ready to play anytime smile.gif

You can also go to www.vsdojo.com (South East Asia's Premier VS Site)

Hey neomab!

Anytime you wanna play VS PM me! preferably play at Toybox lor....

You can mix Marvel and DC cards based on the format your are playing. There are certain formats that use cards from only 1 comic maker.

I play Wow and Gundam War TCG as well!

Now back to boardgames........ tongue.gif

hey there, i've just started to play these board games. So far I've played Bang, Caylus, Catan + Cities & Knights and Puerto Rico. I prefer catan tho.

Im thinking of getting a set, just the basic Settlers of Catan and was wondering how much you were selling it for. Tried to open your website but its down (some database problem).

Or perhaps you have other interesting games you might like to recommend?

Settlers of Catan is RM185 but we are awaiting the new stock to come in. Maybe in the next two weeks.

The recommendation can only come if I know what kind of games you would like to try. Some of our popular games are like Blokus, the new award winning Zooloretto, Ticket to Ride, World of Starcraft and the latest would be Container.

Why don't you pop by Toybox, play at our premise with your friends and see what type of games you like smile.gif

Number of players? Price range? As mentioned in your previous thread, a board game that is not card-based for 7-10 people is almost impossible to find. Max is about 6. Ideal is about 4-5.

How many people? War games are plenty!

There is Memoir 44 (but only for dua orang), there is Tide of Iron, Starcraft and also conquer empire kinda games. Let me know how many people and your budget, and I can give you some recommendation.

Ahoy Captain!!

I am one of Zio's mates. We don't carry the Mass produced titles such as Risk.

If you are looking for good area control games, our growing list of games has many great alternatives for you.

To name a couple, which are my personal favourites are A Game of Thrones & Antike. Drop by if you feel like having a look.

my group have been playing risk for a couple months... great game for a group to hang around and pass time.

Looking for other board games with strategy elements like risk. Every week play risk also will get bored.. I've done some of my own modifications to the risk gameplay which we adopted to make it more interesting (borrowed the "place of power" and the "effects card" mechanic from Risk LOTR edition)


Added on April 4, 2009, 11:30 amwe usually have around 5-6 ppl playing.. budget around Rm 200 lo..
