Hi Alan,

This is Lee Johnson from the Leeds games club c.1998-2000, I used to play
with you there (big guy)

I was wondering if you know of a really good boardgames store online or mail
order, we are after some old games that potentially are out of print.

Fair Means or Foul, and antiques acqusition game is one of them.

Got any suggestions?

Lee

Isn't this Adel Verpflichtet, which I thought was still in print?

I maintain a list of online shops at:

http://grognard.com/shops.html

I suggest you try first the ones given as being in the UK. You
can also try calling UK game shops that do not have online shopping.
The uk.games.board FAQ at:

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk.games.board

has a comprehensive list. You can also try buying direct from online
German game shops (which are given on the page above) or get a cheap
flight to Germany and buy at source! I got my copy of Adel Verpflichtet
from the Ka Da We department store in Berlin.
