Totally agree with what others are saying in here - no board game is worth $130. I would be much more prone to paying say $60-70 for a PC game that I really wanted..say a big title like StarCraft 2 or Diablo 3, but no way would I pay more than $50 for a board game. Especially since nobody who has responsibilities and a family can really play games on a daily basis (which is about the only thing that might make a $50+ board game worth it).
You'll note that nowhere in that tiny rant did I say that Planet Steam is a bad game or something like that but I'll just wait until someone re-creates the same game for cheaper. ;) On Feb 3, 9:32 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > The most I ever paid was for Antiquity which I ended up trading for > R&B and I'm the Boss.
