What is your most recent gaming purchase?

If they ship something extra to you that's their problem, not yours. They can't charge after the fact, that would be credit card fraud as they are billing you for something you didn't agree to/buy. You got what you asked for in the invoice and the extra item wasn't on it, they have no proof you have an extra one nor the lost copy was your copy.
Taking it back would expose them to all sorts of legal weirdness and something the store staff won't have a procedure for. The company would rather you keep it.

Good to know, thanks for the detail.

Legally if a company ships something to you by mistake it is yours to keep.

--- Quote ---In general, though you’re not legally obligated to tell the seller, if your conscience is pushing you in that direction, the FTC suggests that you notify the seller and offer to return the merchandise, so long as the seller is the one who will pay for all of the return shipping.

I picked up a nice little handheld grip thingy for the Switch.
I like it but I haven't gotten a chance to really break it in yet.

So I've been trying to not buy many games without beating some from my backlog first. That kind of fell apart last night after a week that was generally lousy but included me getting a bonus at work.
As someone who rather likes board games, I've always been interested when decent video game conversions are made available that allow you to play the games (either online or on your own) when friends aren't around. There are quite a few good digital versions of board games available now... but I don't have any modern hardware capable of playing most. Instead I got caught up looking at board games released on Nintendo DS.
Domestic purchases last night include:
* Scotland Yard - My kids really like the Scotland Yard board game right now, and this is supposed to be a really good digital adaptation with different maps and options available.
* Labyrinth - Another classic board game from Ravensburger, where you slide a tile into one side of a maze-like grid to change the board state, in a race to reach certain targets. By the same developer as Scotland Yard, and supposedly also a decent board game conversion?
* Chessmaster: The Art of Learning - I used to own Fritz Chess, and would have preferred to reacquire that game because of the inclusion of Chess960 and stronger computer AI... but this was much cheaper and has some different features that might encourage my kids to pick up the game.
* Clubhouse Games - Tons of classic games included here, and a nice feature set as well; even though many of the game aren't ones I'm keen to play, there are enough good ones to make it worth owning.
Imported DS games include:
* Keltis - I've never actually played the board game of this, but it's fairly well regarded.
* Catan
* Carcassonne - Apparently this and Catan are only mediocre conversions, but both are such classic games that I'm still glad to pick up copies. At least Catan is supposed to include a bunch of extra scenarios from the Seafarers expansions.
I know there are other board games converted to DS - mostly mass market western titles that collect several classic kids games onto a cartridge - but they aren't ones I'm keen to really spend much time with. If anyone knows of good DS/3DS board game conversions I've overlooked, please let me know!
