I didn't go as big and complex as most of ya, but here's my three:

I bought On the Rocks (1-4 Players) and Eila (1 Player) pre-owned (sounds better than "used"), but in excellent condition, whereas Cyberion (the usual 1-2 Players) was new. I broke my 'rule' of not buying multi-player games (until further notice from myself) with On the Rocks, but I'd had it 'on order' for over 2 years and decided to go for it when it finally turned-up on the GeekMarket.
I've done little significant 'campaign-type' gaming, aside from what was incorporated in Near and Far, but I liked that aspect of the game, so I decided to give Eila a try. I somehow thought the box was a lot smaller, but it's not that small (31.5cm x 22.75cm x 13cm / 12.5in x 9in x 5in). Its proportions are a bit unusual, too, so it doesn't stack well with others. 😕
There are other games ahead of these in the 'make it to the table' queue, but I hope to explore these games in Q1 of '24. 🙂
I didn't expect Eila to be so big!!!
I read a lot about it - a lot! I know it's not a game for me. Space Biff's review (which is full of major spoilers) just put the last nail on the coffin. One of his best reviews, in my opinion. Very personal, very moving.
