CoolStuffInc has GMT's Labyrinth: The War on Terror, 2001-? and the expansion Labyrinth: The Awakening, 2010-? on sale for 24 hours.

$37.99 for the main game and $18.99 for the expansion (which comes in a baggy). 


Good game, not overly complex, and lots of replayability.  It's quite similar to Twilight Struggle with a little bit of COIN type stuff thrown in as well.  Buy it!  Then I'll have someone to play against on VASSAL.

I've got the base game. Is the expansion worth it?

I've only got one play through of it so I can't say for certain but I did enjoy the new additions.  Adding in civil wars and rival military units seemed to add some interesting depth to the game (when we weren't screwing up the rules).  Groggier players might not agree with some of the designer's views or his conclusions on the colour revolutions and the Arab Spring.  I don't really care as long as it's fun to play, which I think it is.  I wonder how the game will come across in 5-10 year's time though.  It feels like they've drawn conclusions on real world events while many of those events are still playing out now.

Looks like they're in the process of making new versions, so the oldies gotta go.

It may be time to cave and get one of these. Hmm, hexes or no?

Just ordered a 4'x8' one for my new gaming table.... this will force me to actually finish the table.  :nerd:

That's the size I'm think about. Did you add hexes to it? I'm looking at a space version.

No, I didn't get one of the terrain maps... I agonized over the decision for moths on which one of the grassland ones to get then I found this one:



I'm a sucker for old maps and this will look great as a table surface, once my table is stained dark walnut.

I figured I mostly board game/card game anyway and if I want terrain I'll just make some up with green or blue or black felt.

^Great minds! I've narrowed it down to that one, Orabeta Galaxy or Blue Astrology (in that order). I also LOVE old maps.

Hope to pick mine up when I get back from vacation. 
That, a new roof for my Miata, Wing Leader: Supremacy, and Jutland (Thanks Stagger!) should all be waiting for me.

:dreamer:

I did what any good Groghead would do. I ordered the Planiglobii Terrestris AND the Orabeta Galaxy, both 4'x3'. The total was $112 with the discount (free shipping!).  O0

Any word on the annual GMT sale of in-stock games? 

I know it was delayed this year.  But the latest update does not mention it.

Guess it got canned.
