And I picked up Grim Dawn for three bucks. I have the base game for Ticket to Ride on PC and console, but that's an old port. The XBOX deluxe bundle is about $30 for the new version, but I can get the same content on PC for $20, so that's what I did. Ticket to Ride is a favorite of mine, and with the addition of a dozen or so new maps, I'm looking forward to it. There's a Horizon Zero Dawn upgrade to the Remastered version for $10, but I don't care enough for the graphics in the remastered version, and it's not on sale, so I'll wait until I've played more of the game. The main bonus for me would be improved NPC character animations, which is hardly a $10 ask.
Oh, I also bought Sword and Fairy: Together Forever. I've been waiting for a good deal on it for some time. It's a Wuxia-based RPG with a lot of Chinese lore.
Just in case you're interested, the site Board Game Arena (BGA) has Ticket To Ride. It doesn't have a lot of games you might recognise (like Monopoly, Scrabble etc) but it does have that, and Catan, another game I like... I've being playing both with my family. It has a really good interface for games, text chat, and if you're a premium member also voice chat and the ability to invite people to play with you... but you don't need to be a premium member to enjoy the site... there's no adverts as far as I can tell as a non-premium member, so it really is free to play, you're just limited to playing with randoms or premium players who have invited you (as in my case... my sister is the premium member who sets up all our games, but the rest of us are all non-premium members). The site boasts that whatever you want to play, there will always be people to play with, so if you like playing with real people rather than bots or AIs, then I'd highly recommend this site
