    I'm sure it's going to come up, so Forbidden Island and Pandemic haven't gone up in price, but aren't showing the cheapest option by default.
    Click New from () link to find the one sold by Amazon US

    • downforce on 20/11/2019 - 13:20

      Ahhh mine is defaulting to showing the cheapest from Amazon US but you're right, the amazon.com.au price is a bit higher.

      • bamzero on 20/11/2019 - 13:23

        Wish I could find that setting and save me some clicks :)

    Be careful with Secret Hitler, a lot of the listings are for third-party sellers coming in way under RRP - highly likely to be counterfeit copies.

      Be careful with Secret Hitler

      thanks, where were you 1939 ??

      Thanks for the heads up! I bought it a few days ago and just checked the seller I bought from and there was a review saying it was a counterfeit copy. Managed to cancel it before it was shipped.

      • tryonthis on 20/11/2019 - 16:01

        Yep, just cancelled my order too!

    • kiitos on 22/11/2019 - 20:09

      You can play this with a regular deck of cards, can't you?

  • Zygon on 20/11/2019 - 13:51

    Zombicide is showing $66.75. Not the cheapest ever, but pretty cheap https://www.amazon.com.au/CMON-COL-GUG00001-Zombicide-Novels…

    • pronoun on 20/11/2019 - 14:08

      That seems very cheap to my for Zombicide. Is anyone concerned if it’s legit or not? If it’s legit might get that for Christmas

      • Zygon on 20/11/2019 - 14:11

        It is sold by Amazon.com.au directly, for what it's worth

      • RI4V4N on 20/11/2019 - 18:22

        It will be cheap because version 2 just finished being kick-started, but is probably like a year away from shipping

      • MoltenTesseract on 22/11/2019 - 10:08

        The kickstarter for the second edition is currently underway. I've noticed stores trying to get rid of v1 stock already.

    • yitza on 20/11/2019 - 15:53

      Dungeon Crawl has Zombicide for $55.63 + shipping. Depends on your shipping, it might be cheaper there.

    Thanks OP, I have ordered Forbidden Island :)

    Werewords is a great party game with quick rounds and is great value for how much I've played it with my friends. It's like One Night Ultimate Werewolf mixed with 20 Questions and everyone can contribute.

    • pdtmathieson on 20/11/2019 - 14:09

      Agree on this, I think we paid about $12 for it somehow, and got a good solid five hours playing out of it. Even if we never play again, I think it will have been worthwhile.

    • Owgasm on 20/11/2019 - 14:11

      No replay value?

      • pdtmathieson on 20/11/2019 - 14:12
        +3

        Definitely has replay value, we just have so many games that we rarely play anything more than a couple of times, with the exception of one game (which I made so it's amazing)

        • Ding22 on 20/11/2019 - 17:29

          Which one game would that be?

        • bamzero on 22/11/2019 - 05:10

          The Cones of Dunshire?

    • Zondor on 20/11/2019 - 14:23

      Is the app 100% necessary to play? I'm not a big fan of board games that MUST have apps as it basically gives them an expiration date.

      • nubix on 20/11/2019 - 14:30

        Yes it is, but maybe you could download a word list? It's $12. Worth it for me if we get through an hour

      • pdtmathieson on 20/11/2019 - 14:30

        Yes it is - it does the word selection and the secret parts for you. It makes the game heaps easier to run.

        Are you saying the expiration date is linked to the support for the app? I would agree with you on a new game that you are taking a risk on, but this is a pretty popular game that isn't going anywhere.

        • Zondor on 20/11/2019 - 15:04
          +1

          It's mostly just a "I get it out the cupboard 5 years from now and the app is no longer supported" kind of thing. It's not so much the money I just feel like it's a bit of a waste if that happens.

          • pdtmathieson on 20/11/2019 - 15:11
            +1

            @Zondor: Fair enough - I guess don't get it on your Windows phone!

    • OpenHand on 20/11/2019 - 15:14

      Agreed. Werewolf is boring to me now!

  • s3n on 20/11/2019 - 14:42

    I had a look at my Amazon US account and I'm no longer prime yet I'm prime in AU

    May have been because I completed a return back to US

    Anyone have the same issue?

    • rheem on 20/11/2019 - 15:42

      I've got that as well, I messaged support and they said they are different websites and not linked.

      Maybe try their support and see if you get a different answer.

    • Akya on 20/11/2019 - 16:26

      I can confirm that they are not linked. I vaguely remember using a deal for 3 months free Prime on Amazon US.

  • woahxd on 20/11/2019 - 14:59

    Is the secret hitler legit

    • Zondor on 20/11/2019 - 15:05

      I have ordered, can let you know on Friday!

    • asubtleviolence on 20/11/2019 - 15:48

      Unknown third-party sellers listing a heavily-counterfeited game for $20-30 below retail price… I doubt it.

      $48.47 from Gameology looks like the cheapest legit listing on the Amazon page.

      • Isho on 20/11/2019 - 19:33

        Cheers, just placed an order through Gameology one!

    • downforce on 20/11/2019 - 16:06

      The one that was originally listed seems to have run out, but there are others from other outlets for a few extra $$$, still fulfilled by Amazon though.

    • doublehelix95 on 20/11/2019 - 20:54

      I ordered before this posted, and have the game now. It seems legit to me. Some spelling mistakes in the instruction booklet, but the playing cards are good quality cardboard, the president/chancellor titles are made of sturdy wood, and the boards have foil embellishments. Is there a way to tell if the game is fake?

    • 86boy on 20/11/2019 - 21:43

      I would say it is not legit - look at seller profile.

    Thanks OP. Just ordered one. Random thing i noticed though. There is a random new name and address that isn’t mine I can select during checkout listed as ‘Wish List address’ Has anyone ever experienced this?

    • zacjanes on 20/11/2019 - 15:33

        LOL, that's me, I copied the links from my wishlist. I'll update the links now :)

        Thanks for the heads up, didn't realise it was doing that.

    • emeraldone on 20/11/2019 - 22:51

      yep I have it too!

  • hypexx on 20/11/2019 - 15:13

    Wanna grab some of them but are the pricing listed on OP in USD?
    I'm seeing different pricing for these:
    Secret Hitler $30.99
    Forbitten Island $36.95
    Jenga $21.97
    Risk $43.94
    Citadels $25.68
    Edit: Nevermind. (via US) :D

    Pandemic being sold on EBay for $32.49

    • taffy711 on 20/11/2019 - 17:28

      Almost guaranteed to be fake.

      • Sploots on 20/11/2019 - 19:09

        Ohhhhh, hahahaha. Well, I wish I knew of this before I bought both Pandemic and Splendor from eBay the other day! I received them both in the mail today and have just opened Pandemic up. It seems like mine is a fake. For example, the cubes are coloured slightly differently, are very sharp with some edges that haven't been "cut" properly, and have bubbles inside.

        Haven't opened up Splendor yet but am not optimistic now.

        Oh, well I'll be more mindful next time!

        • Buzzkill on 20/11/2019 - 21:12

          Just put a dispute in through eBay. You'll get your money back and get to keep the game for free.

  • Punkboy on 20/11/2019 - 21:01

    Pandemic is back, however 11 cents dearer :-)

    • downforce on 20/11/2019 - 21:48

      Thanks, updated OP.

    • chymb on 21/11/2019 - 09:08

      And I thought eBay sellers were the price-jacking fiends. 🙄

    JUst about to order Jenga and I noticed it's on the shelf at home. Never seen them use it. I wonder if they know how it works, better play it after school.

    Werewords just hit a new low price of $13.04
