Loved that and GEV back in the day, funny though: they were mini-games! ;)

Why so big?

Firstly it's got just about everything made for OGRE in. Secondly the OGREs and a good deal of the terrain is 3-D, thirdly all the card stock is seriously heavy duty, and finally Steve Jackson is insane.

3D? So is it a "mini's" game now instead of a mini-game? Looks fun.

Assembled so far.

The bone pile:

The tray:

All in all ~30 lbs. which means it was about $3.33/lbs, which I think is a fair price for game these days :D

Note: this was NOT the kickstarter edition, which included even more stuff for the backers.

30 lbs. :eek:

 I think it will be cheaper to book a vacation in the States and take this back as hand luggage rather than to pay shipping.

Don't some carriers limit carry-ons to 25 lbs.?

That said, it is satisfyingly enormous. Carry on Steve Jackson, carry on.

In the first outing the Paneuropian infantry distinguished themselves by grinding the Combine OGRE to a halt mere miles from the command post.

By the way I think we now have a new standard for games.

"Is it a good game?  How many bananas would you say it was?"

"Well it comes in 3-bananas box, but honestly it's so good it plays like a 4 banana game."
