Sword & Sorcery: "An earthier sort of fantasy" discussion

One good thing that happened last week: On Friday I received a giant shipping box that contained my Kickstarter pledge of the Conan boardgame:

Haven't had a chance to actually play it yet, but so very, very, very many plastic miniatures ... And it's been getting generally positive reviews, although apparently the rulebook leaves somewhat to be desired.

I'm now feeling the strongest urge to revisit my Del Rey Conan books; although I suppose I could switch to a pastiche instead, for the sake of the group read ...

Cool. That one looked really good. After deliberation, I directed my Kickstarter funds into cooperative games but instead (Zombicide Black Plague and Deep Madness). Would like to hear your thoughts as you try it though.
