Many of us grew up with games like Monopoly, Risk, or Scrabble, but now there's a whole new world of board games to play. Games like Settlers of Catan and Carcassone were the first German-style board games to really take hold of the gaming market and they started a revolution. 15 years later, there are literally hundreds of games that fall into this category but everyone will tell you it all started with these.

Settlers of Catan, the classic resource management board game, pits the players against one another as they build roads and settlements around a hexagonal tiled board, collecting victory points in the process. Settlers has enough strategy to slate even the experienced players interests but is still simple enough for beginners to enjoy. And with a similar strategy level, Carcassone has the players build the board as they go by laying down square tiles drawn randomly from a bag and scoring points as they go. This exciting mechanic allows for a unique gaming experience every time. There are also numerous expansions available for both so there's never a possibility for a stale game!

Deck-building games have emerged as one of the hot new game types in the past few years and no one should miss the game that put this genre on the map: Dominion! A fast card game that is perfect for beginners and experienced players alike, no game ever plays the same. Each expansion adds great new options and opens up new strategies to players for winning, whether it's using the Thief to steal Treasure Cards, or the Festival and Market cards to gain additional actions during your turn!

Speaking of card games, there's one classic that fills the "quirky" and "crazy" and "fun" categories—Munchkin, of course! A crazy card game of deals and counter-deals while players try to collect as much Loot as possible to gain Levels and win! You can also customize your Munchkin with a variety of different flavors to suit your gaming pleasure—Classic, Conan, Cthulhu, and even Spies and Zombies to name a few! Mix and match your sets for even zanier fun!

There are a ton of great board games out there but the classics are classics for a reason. Grab one of these for your next family get-together or game night and don't forget about your holiday discount!

RPG Superstar 2011 Top 8

I played Dominion for the first time last night. At first I was very skeptical and didn't think I was going to enjoy it but it ended up being a blast to play. Easily one of the best board/card games I've played in years.


Yes, Dominion can be a blast.

For anyone seeking to "transcend" Settlers there are many other options besides Dominion of which I would recommend the following:

- 7 Wonders (easier and faster than Dominion)
- Race for the Galaxy (more tactical and varied, a bit harder to teach)
- Stoneage (feels like Settlers, but more tactical)
- Dungeon Lords (games a bit difficult but is a blast themewise)
- Mag*Blast (speaking of blasts - nice little fun filler gamer)
- Agricola (game with the best theme, complex but still a family game, simply one of the very best)
