Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

I know, there are fancy editions with Swarovski, golden pawns, inlaid wooden boards etc. But what are the most expensive base editions?

I think Kickstarter is a good library for overpriced games just because they have a lot of miniatures

Otherwise probably some obscure, out of print, vintage game ? I've seen copies of Zargo's Lords (International Team) go up for 300€ on eBay, considering selling mine as well lol

No miniatures anywhere: the fourth edition of A World At War is $210 from GMT, plus another $67 if you want to replace the mapsheets with mounted map boards. (This is a monster game covering the entire Second World War at the strategic level. It cannot be played by humans in a reasonable period of time.)

Return to Dark Tower is about $200.

I spent too much on the Horizon Zero Dawn board game... Never played it and donated it to my FLGS...
