Played through part of the original Greyhawk Dungeon a bit back. OD&D down into the zany Storerooms - not the ones from Zagyg but the old one where a sage is in the middle of the dungeon where later it was replaced with a Kobold Captain.

Got a used copy of Arkham Horror, The Card Game, Core Set, First Edition (the one with only enough cards for two characters instead of the up to four for which the game was designed). Dammit. Now I'm going to be sinking too much money into further campaigns and expansions.
At least I won't be throwing any more money at Final Girl. Well, until Season Three is released, that is.

Right.
Dune Imperium
Got it because I heard it had a really good solo mode. Not bad, said understatedly. I have a few nitpicks, but no real complaints. Recently got the Ix and Immortals expansions which, from the few times I've played with them, I don't think add much for solo play, but actually make it easier for the player. But maybe I'm just playing it incorrectly.
Twilight Struggle Red Sea – Conflict in the Horn of Africa
Also bought while house/pet-sitting a couple weeks ago. Made it halfway through a game when the dogs decided play and a tail sent the cards flying. Haven't gotten back to it, but I intend to.
One Deck Dungeon
Another one picked up a couple weeks ago. While house-sitting I removed a bunch of landscaping blocks from my aunt's backyard and hauled them to my house. I removed the blocks because the previous owner of the house had decided to terrace the yard, which, to be fair, needed it, but not to the extent done. So now mowing will be much easier -- important because I'm the one doing the mowing -- and I have a bunch of free landscaping blocks to better define a few beds in my front yard. Anyway, I felt I deserved to buy myself over $200 worth of games, of which One Deck Dungeon was ~$25. Similar to my Crappy Abstract Solo Dungeon Crawler in that you roll dice and cover numbers on monsters, but otherwise different. For example, it's actually been playtested.
Final Girl
I already had both full seasons of Final Girl, but I did buy the Season One playmats (Season Two mats are sold out). The mats just make it easier to grab the cards than trying to pick them up off of a hard table.
The Path to Carcossa Campaign and Investigator expansions
H. P. Lovecraft may have been a horrible human being, but he's dead and fathered no children. And he created a mythos that I can't stop looking at. It's like a dead deer on the side of the road. It makes me feel a little ill but I can't turn away.
Shit. Over $400. I forgot about the "used" copy of Voidfall, which I haven't played yet but picked it up because it was a good price. Talking with the owner of the game/comic shop where I buy all my games and used to buy comics, the guy who traded it in had bought it to play with his girlfriend, who took one look at the contents and said, "I'm not playing that."
