JMO, bring on the "big" games. I have all 12 colors, and I tell everyone that I "start" in this, that there is no "finish line", per se, just increments of "bought in". 1 treehouse, 3, 5, 5+pink, 5+pink+grey, 5+pink+grey+5. And they could add another color any time, and I'd be happy, as long as I don't have to buy 5 more Treehouses to get a stash of it. OTOH, if they did 5 new colors for a completely new Treehouse, I'd be first on my block to plunk down the $60 and have a stash of each new color. Maybe not first in my state, though. I've learned there are people impassioned by plastic pyramids (and pyramid paraphernalia) in Boulder. --David ----- "David Artman" <david.artman@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 12:45 PM, Joshua Kronengold < mneme@xxxxxx > > wrote: > > > > Also, MegaVolcano (MEGA VOLCANO!) playes with 8 stashes; this is far > from the only game with extreme requirements. > > I wonder if there's interest in populating that space: the "needs a > ton of stashes" space that MegaVol and Stacktors inhabits?
