May 15 Border Board Games

On the heels of last month's game day it seems appropriate to break out some favorites and some slightly dusty (haven't been played in a while) games.

Our growing fondness for Dominion, coupled with the fact we can accomodate eight people between two sets, makes this one a no-brainer. Base set and Intrigue.

Looking to get medieval on someone's ass? Try the mostly cooperative Shadows Over Camelot. The Knights of the Round Table are defending a kingdom in peril from marauding dragons, hordes of Picts and Saxons and, can it be? A traitor in their midst?

If anyone is interested I'd love to break out Age of Empires III once again.

A nice, quick introduction to the genre of train games is Trans America. Gather five city cards and lay track to connect your cities. It's really that simple!

Another classic "gateway game" is Settlers of Catan. Pandemic, though difficult to beat, is a madcap race to stem the tide of global pestilence. Will your team of doctors, scientists, engineers and radio operators have what it takes to prevent the spread of this year's flu-du-jour?

Something on the list you'd like to play? Drop us a line or bring along some of your favs.
