¿Question #3969?
skelebone: Have you received games as birthday/holiday gifts? Which games?

Hector Vortac: Memorably my sister got me Robo Rally one Christmas. I was thrilled and knowing she was quite good at painting miniatures suggested that the next year she could just paint the robot figures as a gift. It was then I noticed the game had no shrink wrap. Sure enough, open the box -- and the robots were already painted.
