Re: Finish your games challenge - 2018
I managed to finish Christmas Stories: A Little Prince Collector's Edition and Santa's Workshop Mosaics before the weekend. (Most of the weekend was spent taking down Christmas decorations and putting away).
Just started Dark Romance: Romeo and Juliet Collector's Edition. Didn't play much, but so far, I'm not feeling the love. Maybe it will improve as I progress. Also working on Hexalot. It's a very old board game, looks like it's not available for purchase any more. And I'm still working on Midnight Castle's seemingly never-ending Winter Event and Castle Challenge.

Tirama -- Did you think the LITLE PRINCE was a good Christmas game? I was put off by the mention of the witch. Then I found out that in some countries witches bring presents. I'm still on the fence about buying it.

I guess it depends on what you consider a Christmas game. The story could have been set at any time, however, the other Christmas CE I played, although the story involved Santa Claus, that plot could be boiled down to "Bad guy kidnaps good guy, go rescue him and save the day." The Little Prince's plot boils down to "Bad person casts spell, find out how to undo spell so that everybody can live happily ever after." However, in The Little Prince, the bad person repents, whereas in The Brothers Claus, the bad guy remains bad. The Little Prince, because of the lesson about hatred and envy it delivered, seemed a more sophisticated, thought-provoking game.
There's lots of Christmas and wintery images, and the bonus chapter involves those cats many people love - in this game specifically Santa Cat and Yule Cat. And I loved the music and the snowman dancing during the credits.

After 12 years I cancelled my membership. I have so many unplayed games and just haven't been playing as much anymore. lol, the new game looks intriguing though. I think I will wait and see if it shows up on IPad.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2018
I am playing MCF Fate's Carnival. I started this game when it first came out, but didn't finish it for some reason. I restarted it and I'm loving it now. What a ambitious and long game it is! I need to find or rescue one more worker and still need to do the bonus game.
Oscar...In 12 years one can accumulate a lot of games. I'm like you in that I have so many unplayed games, that is why I quit my membership too, plus I think I was experiencing a little bit of burnout during the summer and wasn't playing as much and having a second job didn't help matters. Now that it is winter I am playing more games.
lilyr...I bought Christmas Stories: The Little Prince in December (at full price + 2 other games in one of BFG specials. I spent $30 
but it did average out to $10 a game). I also played it in full. I got the CE because I always like to play the cats in the bonus game. Like Tirama said the main game story was not a Christmas story, but it did look and feel Christmas-y. I enjoyed it.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2018
Thanks sunshinej. Madame Fate is one of my favorite games.
Like you and oscar, I have tons of unplayed games. I'm not sure if I should continue or drop my membership. The next time you want some games, you can rejoin for a month or so and then cancell again. You'd get the members' price.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2018
lilyr, that's what I do. I pop in (and out) when there's a good sale and games I don't want to wait for 
But sometimes GH gets them sooner than expected , and I always think that I should have waited...
