    Hi @spottheozzie.

    Any idea when Castles of Burgundy 20th anniversary edition will be in and what price it'll be? Cheers

      I will email the wholesaler tonight and get back to you. If for whatever reason I miss responding to you here, feel free to shoot me a PM or Facebook.com/GamesBandit message as a reminder :)

      Thanks JPear!

      As a side note I would definitely wait to get this version over the original because it includes the mini-expansions issued for the game over the years (all of them, I think, plus a new one that’s exclusive to this new version).

  • +1

    Tapestry was a really fun game.

    And huge respect to the rep for this level of engagement.

    Pricing option on Cartographers?

    • +3

      How about this..if the person whoever joins this random invite to a 2 minute chess game defeats me I'll drop it down to $43.95, but if I win I only drop it down to $44.95.

      https://lichess.org/wcQ6NGfy

      P.s. I'm in the passenger seat of a car delivering Tapestry's as we speak, if I miss the game and forfeit I'll automatically drop it down to $43.95.

    Hi @spottheozzie, I've been trying to track down a copy of base Azul for ages but it's pretty much sold out or super expensive everywhere. Any idea whether there's a new print run soonish? I'm trying to expand my 2 player game collection and I've heard Azul is a good one. Love to hear your thoughts on the game as well, if you've played

    • +1

      Have you given the new Azul a shot? Summer pavilion. Much prefer it over he original and unlike stained glass of Sintra it’s stays true to the original. Just more refined in my opinion. Also I play it mostly 2 player with my wife

      • +1

        I actually haven't played any of the versions of Azul, I've just read it's super popular as a 2 player game (which is mostly how we play).

        What makes you prefer Summer Pavilion over the other versions?

        • +1

          there a quite a few good comparisons on youtube of all 3 which might be worth watching before you decide on one. I was in the same boat though id played the original a few times. Decided i wanted to add one of them to my collection to also expand my 2 player games. Original azul is still a great game to pick up. Summer pavilion to me takes the best parts of it and refines it and adds its own spin.

          advantage of summer pavilion is it is available from multiple places including the OPs and is just as good as the original

          • +1

            @[Deactivated]: Thanks @pedder! I'll check out the video you linked and give it some more thought. I tend to pick up the 'original' version of games before getting sequals/newer themed versions, but I really should spend more time checking out the differences before I buy. Thanks for your help!

            • +1

              @Alyaeri: no worries. And i completely am with you on that. Good luck on your search!

        • +1
        • +1

          otherwise just had a quick look around and there is plenty of retailers with base azul in stock if the OP cant get a copy

    • +2

      Maatee! Azul, Azul, Azul! All three full editions of Azul are fantastic. The problem is everytime they come into Australia they sell out, which isn't usually a problem except for now because all the stock purchased now is with the AUD down (somewhat recovered, but still down).

      You can't go wrong with either edition in my opinion, and this game forever was folklore of fans who say X is better than Y, and Z is better than both but that's all personal preference. I've even heard some weird study that suggests you'll enjoy Summer Pavilion if you like mathematics? what.

      Cheapest versions I can find for you are:

      Standard - https://www.mightyape.com.au/product/azul-board-game/2759754…
      Summer Pavilion - https://2d6games.com.au/collections/all-products/products/az…
      Stained Glass of Sintra - https://www.gametradersblacktown.com.au/collections/board-ca…

      Side note: I have never bought from any of the above shops, so I can't vouch for them but wanted to provide you cheapest options.

      Alternative two player games are 7 Wonders Duel and Carcassonne would be my top two. Also Cartographers but that can be played by 2 or more so that doesn't count I guess :O

      • +1

        Very great of you OP to recommend other retailers as well

        I can vouch for 2d6 games. Small family run business In Brisbane who are an awesome bunch. Offer free shipping too!

        And another vote for carcassonne. Awesome game for everyone

      • +2

        Thank you so much, it's great to hear other opinions on a game. I'd like to support a local so I might look into grabbing Summer Pavilion. Thanks again!

      • +1

        I was wondering why we got so much traffic today, and sold out of Summer Pavilion. Seriously, props to you @spotTheOzzie, top effort to link up other stores in your sale. All the best to you mate.

        • Dave! Absolute legend! Signing up an account and giving me props. It really illustrates the passion factor. Glad I could help you out bud, end of the day we just want gamers to game :)

          If I am unable to fulfil a customers order in future I will definitely send them your way :)

    How about another chess game for a discount offer?

    • What are the stakes? or steaks..:D

  • Next on my list is Gaia Project…just saying ;)

  • Hi I love reading all your posts, you seem so lovely! I have trawled through your store and have a list of things I want to buy now haha, noticed that your Wingspan is on backorder - do you know when it'll come in and if I can still apply the promo code?

    • I want Wingspan as much as the next person. Best seller in 2019 and took the world by storm.

      There's no update from the supply chain when this would be coming back in, Gumnut apparantly as it in at the moment for $108 + postage which works out to be $20 more but probably worth it (if they do indeed have it in stock) because we could be waiting a reaaalllyy long time.

      https://www.gumnut.io/collections/boardgames/products/wingsp…

  • Thanks for the deal @SpotTheOzzie, might have a look into Tapestry.

    Also wondering if you had any deals on 7 Wonders? Looking for a game for the family…

  • +1

    Hi rep, great engagement on this thread, you've definitely got my business

    Have you got a good deal for Catan seafarers expansion?

    • Also interested if there's a deal.

    • +1

      i had a thorough look around before buying last night and saw gamesparadise doing it for over $130. the value of this board game has decreased due to this sale and other stores are probably going to act on that and try to move stock as well so they don't get stuck with it. this is good for consumers.

      • of course read this just after buying it! sigh

  • OK, ordered Tapestry, thanks to OZbargains i did not know I needed a boardgame! Mothers day present sorted, see how this one goes!

  • +2

    It seems Tapestry is being fire sold. If you look at BG oracle there are 6 stores selling it for less than $100 https://www.boardgameoracle.com/boardgame/price/tapestry.
    Gamerholic has the cheapest at $75 https://gamerholic.com.au/products/tapestry
    It's quite possible some of the other stores will be dropping their prices in the coming days.

    • Yea but Han shot first pewpew!!!

      The Clone Wa—I mean, The Tapestry Wars have begun.

      While I was willing to be the first to absolutely chomp my price down and shake the industry for this game I won't be able to price drop anymore on this one my dudes.

      Everyone celebrate the new availability of a another fantastic game :)

    Just wanted to join the pile-on and say well done to SpotTheOzzie. Great service and interaction with customers! Hopefully other retailers will follow your lead.

    • I like you, even though you don't like you..

      Thank you :D

    I would have jumped on this deal but someone else in my gaming group beat me to it! Looking forward to playing it when this is all over.

    Do you have any cooperative games you'd recommend for 2 players?

    • Pandemic!

      https://gamesbandit.com.au/products/pandemic-2013-edition?_p…

      It pretty much owns the space of being the best known Co-Op game :)

      • Ah yes I've got that one already, it is a good one! Picked up the Legacy version a few months ago too, might be time to open it!

    • Or you know..The Top Rated Game in all of Zee worldd..GLOOMHAVEN.

      https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/174430/gloomhaven

      The bloody thing weighs 10kg..Actually I wouldn't necessarily call it a Co-Op game..I just got really excited when you said 'Gaming Group', because GloomHaven (if you're deep in the sauce of playing tabletop games) is the pinnacle. It's also one of the most expensive games as well =/ It's a story base game where you play somewhat of a campaign (usually best with 3-4 players)

      If that is something that tickles your fancy give me a yell, or anyone else lurking the comments let me know.

      https://gamesbandit.com.au/products/gloomhaven-2nd-edition?_…

      For GH I'll beat any competitor's price who has it in stock. So let me know. P.s. I only have 1 left, I know this sounds cliche sales tactic but I literally only have 1 left.

      • I've been thinking a lot about Gloomhaven actually! Looks like it's gone down to around $145-165 a couple of times this year, not sure how close you can get to that?

        Thanks for being so amazing and helpful in this thread, I've added your store to my list, along with a few other games you've recommended to others. :)

        • +1

          Hi Mate,

          I've dropped my price 209.95 (with free delivery):

          https://gamesbandit.com.au/products/gloomhaven-2nd-edition?_…

          There's a cheaper alternative with this store appearing to have one copy left as well for 179.95 + 20 delivery:

          https://goldfieldsgames.com.au/

          I would love to be able to replicate pricing of around 160ish / 170ish but at the moment it's currently under my purchase price which is reflective with how stores are now pricing it around $223.95 (Zing), $238 (popculta), etc. There's no ETA from the wholesaler on when they will receive more at the moment.

          You could hold on and see if in the future the price does dip and it may do. Best of luck adventurer :)

  • Thank you so much everyone for orders! We still have 21 Tapestry Units :D

    The 2nd batch is being picked up by the courier later today, a 3rd batch on Friday and 4th batch on Monday :D

      Sorry buddy :( What if I offered you Underwater Cities for $94.95 with free postage??

        Thanks for the offer, but not a fan of that one. I'll drop. You a line if I start to get an itch about something else

        • I just got two Maracaibo's in after another store cancelled their order.

          I can do the same price drop again if you still wanted it mate :)

  • Ordered the other day and still no order confirmation. Can you chase this up for me?

    • Absolutely :)

      If it's a Tapestry order 90% have already been picked up by the courier or we personally delivered it, with the remaining ones being picked up on Monday :)

      If it's an order for Carcassonne or 7 Wonders Duel we are currently getting more stock of this item this month and will turn it over the day we receive it.

      Please shoot me your order number so I can identify which one it is and let you know the status. You can post it here or shoot me a PM :)

      • I don't have an order number cause I never received an email and I didnt make an account. I can pm you my name/address

        • Hey, every complete purchase that comes through the website would be allocated a purchase order and we would have it on our website backend as unfulfilled.

          Are you sure you completed the check out? Did you want to check your method of payment to see if any funds were deducted? We haven't had this issue before but I'm definitely keen to help you out here :)

          You can message me on facebook.com/GamesBandit for instant chat or even give me a direct call on my mobile.

          I am currently on the road delivering another batch of Tapestry but I'll try my best to respond asap.

        • Yes Please shoot me name and address let me double check :)

    We still have 4 copies in stock if anyone was interested :)

  • I ordered a game 1 week ago and have not received it.
    They are also not responding to their Chat portal.
    Has anyone else had a similar issue?
    Not sure what to do.

    • Got mine yesterday. Try reaching out to them via FB, here or there email.

    • Games Bandit did eventually get back to me. He has been so inundated with orders that he ran out of stock. I wanted the game for the lock down period, so waiting till at least the end of May was pointless to me. Refund quickly and easily received.

  • +1

    Just to clarify guys we still have 11 Tapestry, the item posted as the deal.

    It's Carcassone and 7 Wonders Duel which we ran out of - We are restocking this in end of May. It usually isn't an issue because we get stock frequently but the manufacturing is behind due to COVID. We will fulfil orders asap.

    • Just some feedback. I collected my package today and I was very surprised to find that to ship a game across the country you had simply used some folded cardboard on each corner and a single layer of bubble wrap over the box. This really isn't going to stop impact damage to the game box should say the corner of a heavier box hit it centrally. There is a minor ding along one edge of the game box. -nothing at all to complain about - but I don't know how that was all the damage it took. I shouldn't feel 'lucky' and grateful that the postal system handled it delicately enough not to have more serious damage to the item, and I wouldn't order a game I knew was going to be sent that way.

      • Hi Elijah,

        Thank you for your feedback.

        We did a lot of research on the topic of board game posting before making an ultimate decision to send 85% of our items with the current arrangement.

        Here me out how we came to that conclusion:

        We don’t like sending items in boxes because if the board game is in a box and it gets dropped on the corner that damage can/will be transferred to the board game.

        We do like using bubble wrap because it provides a little more protection and it allows the courier to visually see the item. There was a study in the US Postal service that came to a conclusion that if a courier can visibly see the contents they will are more careful with it. Bubble wrap in our opinion isn’t good enough by itself because the weakest point of any box is the corner, so we cut up cardboard strips to reinforce those points, but also with a long enough width that when the item rests it will be on the cardboard if not the bubble wrap.

        It would actually be way more efficient for us to just drop it into a box and post it, as opposed to cutting up a box, taping each individual corner and wrapping it. So we aren’t doing it to save time or money.

        We’ve only received positive feedback for the way we pack our items but we can definitely make specific arrangements on request.

        I’m an OCD freak myself. I hate to hear that the game has suffered any kind of damage. Please send me a picture so I can escalate it to the courier.
