You Won a Beauty Contest. Collect $50.
My work has graciously given me a token of their appreciation for working hard on a recent issue that we had. I of course have no choice but to spend it on boardgames immediately. It's to Amazon.com. They have pretty much everything and I can probably get free shipping. I'm now taking suggestions as to what I should get.

Assuming your wish list is up to date, my vote is for one of the following:
Age of Steam
Steam
Maharaja
It's more or less up to date. It could use a good picking over, though, and some additions.
Aw, man, I thought I had it all figured out. Then I noticed that Steam is by MAYFAIR! Can anyone vouch for the production quality of it?
I haven't played it so I can't say from experience whether or not the quality is typical Mayfair. However, I watched some video reviews and read others that indicate that the components are solid.
The one thing that has been consistent in most reviews is the quality of game play. Let's face it, if you had to settle for typical Mayfair production, which would you choose? Something like Settlers or would you get STEAM? :)
By the way, Jared, Kirk and I are putting together an order from Boards and Bits by next Friday. You can join in if you want. We'll easily break the $100 requirement for $2 shipping!!
OK, I'll order Steam today. I went and read the reviews and nobody had anything bad to say about the quality. I think it may be one of the Mayfair titles that's actually imported (so good).
Ordered Steam. It should be here tomorrow.

Situla!
