Blood Rage, which I do not have but wouldn't mind owning in the least is available at Amazon UK for about €65, which is cheap all things considered.
But I know that my wife is getting me a boardgame for christmas (just as she knows I'm getting her one, possibly two), either Scythe or Cry Havoc and I don't want to get a game that might be a bit too similar to either of them. And I'm definitely getting Rising Sun when the kickstarter starts.
Of course, there's always the slight chance that she's picked up on it and gets me Blood Rage anyway, although she is less enthusiastic about it, from what she's seen.
First world problems, I know, but still. ;(.
