Welcome Back!
It's been over a year- sorry to everyone for the wait, but I do have a degree now. YAY. In more important news, I do have more games than the ones listed here, I just haven't put them up yet. So ask and I may have what you're after, but owing to cash flow problems I don't have the most recent titles. If you're still reading this, thanks huge amounts for your patience and support. Hugs. :-D avid

Coming Soon: Starcraft and Ticket to Ride Switzerland
If you're interested, let me know and I'll order extra copies. Also, as you may have noticed, I've had to up my postage price by a dollar. Those 3 kilo postpak satchels I've been sending around Australia were never only $8 and now that they're more than $9 I can't keep covering the extra. Sorry, but while I don't actually run this business to make lots of money, I can't afford to lose money either. :-D avid

Update
Alternative Games is still going strong with a great range of stock for people to try and buy. A special 'Hello' to my WA customers and I'm glad I can get good games to places where they're obviously needed. I've finally updated most of my stock after a very unwelcome hard drive crash. As always, I'll be getting more stock in aaaaany day now, so keep checking the site, even if you just like window shopping! :-D avid

Open for business
I'm back. Honeymoon was great. Arcanacon was great. I'll be restocking this week and I ain't going anywhere for a while. So, give me money and I'll give you games. I'll be ordering Ticket to Ride 1910- assuming they have any left, Medici- if it's out yet, and anything else you want. Let me know. :-D avid

CLOSED FOR HONEYMOON
Sorry. I won't be back until next year. I know, I know it's Christmas and I'd love to take your money, really I would. You know I would. But being a husband entails new responsibilities and I can't place the business first just yet... :-D Thanks to those of you that bought my games cheap on ebay. I'll probably auction some more next year. When I get back. See you all then. :-D avid

Games on Ebay
I'm still here. Been a little busy over the past few months with uni, family and getting married. Anyways- selling some games on Ebay so if you want cheap games- head on in and bid up my non existant profits. They are Andromeda, Traders of Genoa, Ticket to Ride Marklin, Hoity Toity and Maginor.

The BIG Weekend
A special hello and thankyou to everyone who visited me at my stall over the weekend. And a special apology for not actually informing everyone I'd be there. Anyways- new stuff in- none of which I've put on the site yet. It will go up. Honest. If you don't see something you want hit the 'Send Feedback' a mail me. If I don't have it, I'll order it in. Thanks all for your support. :-D avid

I'm Back
Holidays were great, and now I'm back to bring you the games you know and love so well, and more. We now have Ra, Elfenland from Alan Moon who brought you Ticket to Ride, and The Bridges of Shangri-La. As always, if there's anything in particular you're after, just email or call. :-D avid

Holiday Games Run
The bad news is from 23rd Jan to 10th of Feb, I'll be on holidays and games bought then are unlikely to be sent off until I get back. The good news is, I'll be visiting my supplier on the way back. I'll be spending vast amounts of money on cool new games and naturally, I'd love you to do the same. So any game you particularly want, let me know and if my supplier has it, I'll bring back a copy or two. Thanks. :-D avid

Merry Christmas
Yes, I've been slack, but new stock is in and being added every day. If you're after quick and easy games like Tutankhamen, epic and sweeping like Shadows Over Camelot, or just plain silly and fun like Killer Bunnies, it's all here and being added. And if there's something in particular you want, just contact me and I'll be glad to order it in. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. :-David

Credit Card Facilities Available
Alternative Games now takes credit cards, both Visa and Mastercard. This is done through the professional security of PayPal and should make things easier for buyers external to Brisbane. It will also provide an extra option to my Brisbane buyers. Thanks all for your support. :-D avid

Ticket to Ride Europe
It just arrived! I'll plug it in as soon as possible. Get in quick as I only have 6 and some of them are accounted for already. Also in are Andromeda and Traders of Genoa. I had to buy these by the carton so I'll be selling some on E-Bay eventually. More on this later. :-D avid

Check out the new Games!
As you can see, new games have been creeping in slowly. Check them out and enjoy and I'll keep adding them as time allows. Carcassonne: The Princess and the Dragon is now in stock and Ticket to Ride Europe is on its way to me (so I've been told :-) Thanks for your support. :-D avid

New Stock!
Greetings loyal customers! I'm back from down south with a truckload of new games (well, a carload actually). I'll be adding these to available stock over the next few days, so keep a close eye on the site. I only have a few copies of everything, so get in quick to avoid disappointment and delay. Some of these were the last ones my distributor had, and who knows when I'll be able to get more copies in. As always, if you want something just let me know and I'll set wheels in motion in an attempt to get it ASAP! :-D avid
