Hopefully I don't sound too much like a "Hey you kids, get off my lawn!" old dude in saying that, but seriously, it's well worth it. I was actually doing just that a couple days ago when my <a href="http://gossamergypsy.com/" rel="nofollow">wife</a> and I took a day trip around parts of the state, and stopped at my favorite CT game store. Don't think they have a web site, but if you're in Connecticut you owe it to yourself to head to Citadel Games in Groton (see <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&client=opera&ie=UTF8&q=citadel+games&near=Groton,+CT&fb=1&cid=41353134,-72059445,16100917600625333408&li=lmd&ll=41.364184,-72.055464&spn=0.033497,0.052958&z=14" rel="nofollow">Google Maps</a>). Smallish space (like plenty of other independent game stores I've been in) but they always have an excellent selection of card and board games, which makes me smile. I picked up <strong>Manhattan</strong>, <strong>Iron Dragon</strong> (back in print, apparently), and <strong>King's Blood</strong> so perhaps after I get some other things out of the way <em><span style="font-size: smaller;">(*cough*siteredesign*cough*)</span></em> I'll write up some of those.

I think part of this comes from my desire to someday own a store like this and thus I want to support them but the main reason is I am Mr. Instant Gratification and as soon as I decided I want something I want it NOW. I think I have mentioned it before, but Shadowrun 4th may well have the best system I have ever seen. I actually prefer shopping at local stores.
