Let the games begin!

If you look hard enough, what you can find in China is astounding. When I thought all was lost with buying American games for less than American prices, I found some at one of the largest wholesale markets in the world! On a typical market weekend (this time in search of "Treasure Island" props), I came across a very familiar American word.....MONOPOLY. To my dismay, there was much more than Monopoly, but the new version - Monopoly deal, Carcassone, and the infamous Settlers of Catan! Wow, did I hit a jackpot! After bartering a bit, I walked home with all three for less than $25. For all of my China friends, I found these at Wu Ai....crazy, I know. I am feeling a game night coming soon...
