Hoping to find these second hand. Thanks!
Hi all, I know this is a long shot but I’m really interested in this game and wanted to see if I could grab it second-hand instead of dropping $75+ for a new copy.
I know I said condition unimportant but obv I would appreciate having all the pieces/cards/whatever - it doesn’t have to be sealed or rarely played.
i (20F) just moved to boston (not in college) and really want to meet people but have no idea how or where to, especially in my age group. is joining a board game group or going to board game cafes a good way to meet new people and make friends in boston? i’ve never been to a board game cafe so i’m not really sure what the vibe is like. if i go solo would i likely find someone to play with? also, i’m not really familiar with board games other than basic ones like monopoly, scrabble and clue. but i really enjoy those and would love to learn new ones. so yeah my main question is if i could reasonably expect to make a friend or two through board games?
if u have any board game group or cafe recommendations please feel free to drop them! or if you’ve got any general advice about making friends in boston, i’d love that too. thanks in advance!
This is the original Frosthaven from the Kickstarter campaign. I opened it up, built and setup the wooden organizer, put it all back together in the box and promptly joined a friend's campaign. It's never been used. Asking $200. The original price was $240 + shipping. I'm in Stoneham.
I’m a (m21) living in the Springfield Mass area and looking for people to get together and play some games on a semi frequent basis. I have several games that I can provide (Dragonwood, Zombie Dice, Exploding Kittens, CAH, Fireball Island, several battleships and monopolys, etc) but anything you could bring would be great too. Comment or dm if interested
Hi everybody! My partner and I (25M) just moved to Somerville last month and I would love to be able to put together a board game crew to play games with semi-regularly. I love all kinds of games from general party games like Codenames or Pictionary to more heavy hitters games like Gloomhaven, or Pandemic. Please comment or message me if anyone is interested!

Hello, I was recently given a duplicate copy of Scythe. I would love to trade it to someone for a similar mid-heavy weight game. Alternatively I'd sell it for a slight discount at $70 but I'd prefer a trade. You can find a list of games I'd definitely be interested trading for here but I'm open to other offers. I'm located in Somerville but would be happy to meet up elsewhere if convenient. Thanks!

Countless card supplement pack expansions too numerous to list here. All figures are assembled but unpainted, all cards are sleeved and all larger reference sheet material laminated. Included are also various storage solution items such as a hanging file box, binder, deck holder, and more. Feel free to ask about anything in more detail, it's a lot and I'm hoping someone else can enjoy the seemingly unlimited gameplay here.
Doing a cleanout of games that I rarely play. Pick up in Arlington.
Prefer Cambridge, Allston/Brighton area. I have several 1v1 games I'm looking to play a lot more. Mainly Legend of the five rings and Senjutsu. I'd be up for skirmish mode of mini games such as Warhammer or X-wing, but I'd have to use your minis. I'd also be up for MTG or similar type games. Again, I'd have to use your stuff tho.
Selling off some parts of my Marvel United collection to make room.
Coming of Galactus (NIS) - $150 I'm also throwing in the Silver Surfer from the FF box (brand new) along with his hero deck
Iron Lad (NIS) - $15
Yandu and Adam Warlock (new) - $40
I have the promo boxes from all 3 kickstarters and picked up the team deck add on from the most recent run so if you're interested in any group of figures I didn't list let me know and we'll see.
Hello everyone,
I received Pandemic Legacy Season 1 as a gift but never had the opportunity to play it. Would like to sell it to another home intersted in this fanstastic game. The game is brand new, never played, still in shrink wrap and mint condition. I live in Malden - you will need to come to Malden to pick it up and pay cash.
This game retails for $72 + shipping. I will sell it to you for $50.
Happy gaming!
