Fine Games' 14th Retirement Liquidation Sale
We're back in the saddle again after taking the entire summer off. And tomorrow we resume our Retirement Liquidation Sales.

Fine Games' 14th Retirement Liquidation Sale takes direct aim at 52 games and magazines we have way too many of, far more than we can sell in the months we intend to remain in business. So we offer them all at firesale prices. In most cases these are offered at below our costs paid 1, 2 or even three decades ago.

Like $5 or $10 for new Strategy & Tactics, Modern War or World at War mags w/ games, new. Or $5 for select Command & Wargamer mags.

Check it out! Available thru Halloween, 31 Oct.

Back from Vacation & Back in Business
We have reopened after a summer-long (99 day) vacation, and are open for business again.

We apologize to those who inquired during our closure as we could not help you at all.

But we are again open for business, and our web site has been updated. Email or phone us if we can help.

BTW, bicycled about 3,500 miles and climbed about 200,000 ft. And drank a LOT of beer.

Fine Games 12th Retirement Sale
Our 12th Retirement Liquidation Sale began today (21 March) and extends thru our 31sth birthday, April Fools Day. No joke!

This sale is something of a redux of our two prior sales in that it offers up 60-some magazine-games and one boxed game we are seriously overstocked on. So we're offering all of our customers one last chance to pick up a copy of these at ridiculously low prices.

Buy a copy for your own collection, or use them as trade fodder with your friends. Either way, you won't find lower prices.

30 Years ! A long, strange trip
Fine Games celebrates its 30th year in business today, April 1st -- April Fools. But this is no joke.

It has been a long, rather strange trip.

Decision Games Imposes HUGE Price Increase on Mags & Some Games
Decision Games imposes perhaps the largest set of price increases we've ever seen in 30 years in business. In general, increases of 25% are the rule rather than the exception. Magazines published in the last 2-4 years are now $49.99 list where they were $39.99. The increase impacts many of their larger boxed games as well. And they broke their past practice of not increasing prices of previously published mag prices.

We are still processing all the changes, and the increase will be reflected in our own asking prices shortly. This is necessary as we now carry only 1 or 2 copies of most issue. We apologize for the price shock you may experience.

We no longer buy directly from Decision Games; they divorced us because we complained about all the damaged goods they were delivering to us. So we haven't asked about WHY they made such a massive change. But we can speculate that their prices rose sharply as they began printing some of their components in China, so they were caught with their pants down like many others.

But we also read this as suggesting that their business may be in a bit of trouble, and they have overreacted (badly). We say badly as they are suggesting that their products are of far more value to game buyers than competing games from MMP, Compass and GMT especially. And that just ain't so.

Fine Games' 2021 Annual Clearance Sale
Fine Games' beloved Annual Clearance Sale begins Tues, 9 Nov. This is the one that our customers look forward to, and bug us about when it's going to start, each year.

This year's Annual Clearance Sale brings back the Buy-X-Get-Y format while still allowing you to buy individual items at special clearance prices. Your choice how you wish to buy.

But we figure you can save up to 46% off of our already discounted normal prices. At its best, you buy 7 items but you get 8 more games FREE! Sweet.

We suggest you act fast. Many of the best items are available at a quantity of only 1 (esp in what you'll see is Category 1), and people jump on this in the first few days.
