After a couple of expensive trips to California, I wildly over-budgeted for my trip to CT/NY, hoping to be able to put the extra money towards a savings goal (like a new laptop, because I'm increasingly nervous about my aging Macbook). Instead, I find it's all being spent on new games?

1. Dominion (big box + base cards) - at least I had a gift certificate at Amazon to make this more affordable.

(Everything else is Kickstarter, because there is something about the combination of exclusive extras and limited time frame that is murder on my willpower.)

2. Incredible Expeditions - OMG EVERYBODY BUY THIS I WANT ALL THE STRETCH GOALS. There are still a couple of slots open for the early bird price! Also, another early bird slot will open up later when I switch to whatever fancy version they are apparently going to post soon.

3. Templar - I hope this game is fun, but to be honest, I only care about it because I can get the anniversary edition of Alhambra as an add-on. Wooden fountains!

4. Freedom - stupid lantern *facepalm*

If I have any money left over after this nonsense, I'm trying to decide whether I want to grab Lords of Waterdeep or Among the Stars. Though I guess I might as well wait, because I'm assuming we're going to play a LOT of Dominion for a while. In the meantime, I'm cutting myself off from looking at new things on Kickstarter. spacealien_vamp, I'm counting on you to let me know if there are any amazing new games I shouldn't miss out on.
