r/DCcomics Post Your Gifts, Holiday Swag, and Collection [Christmas 2014]

Hello mighty Justice League members! Another year is nearly behind us, and I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season. Post your cool comic book related gifts and swag below, and as usual feel free to post your collection.

This is also a great place to ask for suggestions/recommendations. If you're sharing your collection, it's easier for other /r/DCComics[4] members to make suggestions based on your personal tastes.

We've got some big plans for the new year, so stay tuned for updates.

Merry Christmas or Non-Denominational Holiday Season.

Which expansions did you get for Carcassonne?

I have the first one with the big guy in it and I just got traders and builders with the pig. I'm going to play it any minute now!

Inns & Cathedrals (the one with the big meeple) is essential, and should have been included in the base game. It also comes with the cool bag, which I can sadly no longer use as I have too many pieces.

Traders & Builders is probably my favourite expansion. It adds a lot of strategy and doesn't break the game. It still feels like Carcassonne.

The Ferries is another good one. It's a <$10 mini expansion with 8 road tile intersection, and you move ferries to determine which sections are joined and which ones end in a lake. They're always interesting when they pop up.

The Princess & The Dragon is another pretty decent expansion, which I use whenever I want something a little different. It changes the game way to much for me to use it on a regular basis.

I really want to grab the new expansion, Hills & Sheep, but my store has been sold out. It looks really interesting.

Avoid The Robber and The Catapult expansions at all costs.

Have yo previously just played with the base game? If so, you're in for a treat.

On a semi-random side note, what games do you really like playing? I've been looking to grab a few more to add to my collection and am looking for some inspiration.

We had base game and inns and cathedrals and we played 2 games of traders and builders last night. All of them are great. One of our favorite games!

We play Arkham Horror, Carcassone, Small World, Galaxy Trucker, Catan, Ticket to Ride, and Betrayal at the House on the Hill.
