I haven't bought a new board game since Lord of the Rings (though I did just order Starcraft on a whim on Friday, so if it looks good I might be interested in Brood War). Right now the game I'm interested in is:
Legend of the Five Rings: Art of War Legend of the Five Rings » Board Game
I used to play the CCG a lot, so this new adaptation of the L5R world has got me intrigued. As a non-BGG my knowledge of these things is pretty limited, but I'm guessing it's like a hybrid between Risk and a CCG. Or something. Whatever. All I know is I've got dibs on Crab. At least until they release an expansion with the Scorpion clan, that is.
The site says coming out in Late 2008, but...
