Thrift Store finds!


I've had some really good luck over the years with thrift store game finds. Just the other day I found 2 copies of Guillotine for $2.99 each. One was in shrink and the other has never been played (cards were in shrink). I have since played it a few times and I think this will be perfect for family game days. A few days before that I came across an un-played copy of Memoir 44 for $3.99. I already own and love BattleLore so I know the system and hope to get this to the table a lot. The same trip garnered a full box of Battlecards ($4.99) which is an old scratch off card battle game that came out before Magic the Gathering, and a core rulebook for an RPG called Danger Quest ($1.99). The Battlecards were still in shrink and probably worthless but I think it makes a nice addition to the game museum.
Some other recent finds include:
Mad Magazine game - $1.99
Parcheesi (1959) - $2.99
Thirteen (1955) - $.99
Royal Flush $.99
Scotland Yard (long box) - $1.99
Key to the Kingdom - $1.98
Battle Masters (2 copies) - $2.98 each - currently worth over $100.00 each
ShadowLord - $1.99
Vampire Hunter - $.99
