Twilight Struggle

Boardgamegeek.com is one of the main databases used to find board games, rate them and talk about them.

Currently in over thousands of games, Twilight Struggle holds the first position in ratings. Made by a company focused on war games, GMT games, Twilight Struggle takes you back to Cold War era. Take the side of Russia or the USA and change the tide of history in this game, constantly referred to as the Cold War in a box!

X-Wing

Fantasy Flight is the current holder of all things Star Wars in the board gaming community. As many of you know, Fantasy Flight is also one of the biggest names in board games. So when I tell you that, as of last year, X-wing miniatures (released 2012) was the highest grossing game for this company in their history since 1995, there's got to be something good.

The newest releases for this game include Wave 4, with TIE Defenders and E-Wings and big ships like the Tantive IV.

Quarriors!

On comic book day, you might have been looking for an appropriate game to fill the day with. Sadly, Wizkids newest comic related release, Marvel Dice Masters: Avengers Vs. X-Men, is pretty much sold out everywhere. Consider Quarriors!, a game made by the same creators of Marvel Dice Masters. It is a "dice building" game with similar mechanics. It's always really fun chuck a bunch of dice anyways! Buy monsters, spells and fight for control of the land!
