I want your used games

I was hoping to pick up more games to add to my collection, without going bankrupt. Does anyone have any of the following games that they would be interested in selling or trading:

1. DC Deck-Building Game
2. Dominion expansions (except Intrigue)
3. Munchkin expansions
4. The Resistance

I'll talk to my wife about our Star-themed Munchkin game (assuming you don't have it.)

You don't actually need to buy the Resistance at all since it is simple to just make it.

All you need are to use the loyalty cards from your Shadows Over Camelot game to tell people secretly whether they are the traitors or not.  Alternatively you could use regular playing cards with face cards being loyal and aces being traitors.

Then you need a simple up/down mechanic for voting on missions.  A simple penny will work for each person as they can just use heads for yes and tails for no.

Then you need a hidden mechanic for the people on missions to vote succeed/fail.  I use the turn order tokens from my Heroscape collection (with "X" being fail and "1" being succeed).  But you could do this also with simple playing cards with "2" being fail and "4" being succeed, or you could use UNO cards with "Reverse" for fail and "Skip" for succeed.

So you can play Resistance simply with a basic deck of cards and some pennies.  After all the fun of the game isn't really the components, but the social interplay that results.

Are you allowed to do that considering you now work for a game company? ;)

Also, I feel like there's just a certain feel to having the actual game. I won't speak for YMT but I know that I'd rather have the actual game just like even if I was playing a fun game of Redemption I'd always rather have the real cards than use proxies.

soul seeker, I am just sticking with the "medieval" theme for now, but thanks for the offer.  ;D

You don't actually need to buy the Resistance at all since it is simple to just make it.

I prefer to let the companies that come up with the idea get their due. Your boss would not have an internship to offer you if everyone took the perspective you have suggested. Besides, I have never actually played the game, so I have no idea what you are talking about.  ;)

So does anybody other than soul seeker actually have games to offer?
