I'm with you Jenna - I think I'm the only player in all of Milton Keynes, and when I phoned the local comic shop to see if they could get any in stock, they too offered the whole box or nothing conundrum. �80, I think they said. That's a lot of money to me!

Still, at least we're getting a Borders soon(ish), so they'll satisfy my needs. Sure, I could buy them online, but there's something to be said for wandering into a shop and picking the packs out yourself...

Picking packs personally (and writing alliteratively) is worse then just being sent some - I got two packs that were all duplicates when I personally picked a pair of packs from Borders whilst waiting for an interview... I felt quite guilty! Rolling Eyes

I know what you're all saying. I'm the only person in Cincinnati, OH to play Perplex City. 13 card shops, 13, within 25 minutes drive. 12 have never heard of the game. The 13th, which specializes in odd games, has heard of it but has never ordered a single box because no one plays. Bugger all.

Right, this definitely calls for a pub meet...

Speaking of pub meets, is there anything (semi-)regular in London at all? If not, does anyone fancy going for a beer or anything at any point?

I think i'm the only one in Dartford even though we got a Forbiden Planet in town that sells the cards.

I know of at least two other players from Plymouth. I've traded with one of them and had to turn the other one down for free cards recently because i had none left...

...anyway, my point is...3 players from the percieved "backwater (middle of nowhere)" of the country, not bad considering that there is only two from the relatively hip and trendy Romford, near the bustling hubbub of Lahndann Tahnn! Laughing

I live in New York -- The OTHER New York .. you know .. that state off to the side of long island. I might be the only player upstate, not counting people I've introduced. (poughkeepsie is not upstate.) (i imagine I should amend 'upstate' to be 'western new york', cos schenectady is still quite a trip, eh)

So like, I would be the person who went in and bought a box of packs -- except any retailer i ask has more or less informed me it would be just as easy fFor me to buy it myself. They appear to have missed the point of a "retail outlet".

/me imagines calling up parker brothers and ordering a palette of board games. I wonder if Nissin would send me an 18-wheeler of Ramen.
