Deal of the Week: October 4th, 2011

It's card and board games week

Written by DaveKinetic on 04 October 11 at 16:32

Do you like card and board games? Love achievements? Like a bargain? If the answer to any of these three questions is yes, then this is a whopper of a Deal of the Week, as five card and board game themed titles have all received a 50% discount.

XBLA:
Carcassonne - 800 MSP 400 MSP
Catan - 800 MSP 400 MSP
Magic: The Gathering - DotP 2012 - 800 MSP 400 MSP
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Decade Duels - 800 MSP 400 MSP

DLC:*
Battleship in Hasbro Family Game Night - 800 MSP 400 MSP

* I have listed Battleship as DLC as this is how it is recognised on TrueAchievements. The game, however, on the Marketplace is a stand-alone title.

Deal of the Week is only available to Xbox LIVE Gold members.

Well crap, I have all of those games. I really wish I had waited to get MTG12 on DOTW though.

Not a big fan of these games, even if I enjoyed Carcassonne, I'm not sure about getting others.

Edit: Cantan seems interesting, but I read it is glitchy.. that's sad.

Finally Catan!!!!!!

Also, is it possible to play the Battleship game on a retail disc? If not then I might pick it up. Thought the retail disc had all the possible "DLC" packs.

Yay Catan!

Yes, the retail disc comes with Battleship. It does not come with Scrabble, Jenga or Pictureka though. I think Connect 4X4 might not be on disc either, but I don't remember.
Smurfquake - Well, looks like I'm gonna get kicked off the website. Nice getting to know you all. Find me on Xbox if you'd like.

I've read that Scrabble isn't available in the UK because a different company owns the rights there.

I don't think any disc contains Jenga, Pictureka, or Connect 4x4 since those were later additions.

Might have to pick up that Yu-Gi-Oh game. Demoed it a while back, it was so foreign to me since I only played in the beginning before they had those special cards.
I miss the good old days of WW2 Call of Duty
