|
 |
Hello,
I am currently gathering a present for a friend, who is into board games.
So far the pot is:
Star Wars - Outer Rim
Doom - The Board Game
Fallout - Board Game
but recently it has come to my attention, that he is playing this different type? of strategy board game:
Fantasy Battles: The 9th Age
can someone give me ideas for similar (grand strategy) games to gift to him
or is there any additional merchandise for this particular game, that can be gifted?
thank you

I don't know these games but I loved Hero Quest. Bought it used from ebay in :/ quality and only played it a few times as I don't have enough friends to enjoy it

It's hard to find people to play with. It's either noone or a group who gathers once a week and constantly nags about playing inbetween as well. Well, that's my experience  |
Yeah. We've lately been playing Uno only. I guess anything else is too complex and "time consuming"  |

After a couple of beers and vodka, only Uno and Kniffel are comprehensible.

Aren't most of these suggestions a bit too mainstream for a serious board player.
I haven't played anything for a decade or two so can't suggest anything. The only thing I see about board games these days is: Ars Technica's boardgame buyer's guide (google it) and wouldn't even know if its decent advice (it is less about franchise names though).

Thank you very much.
While most of the games you mention are in pre-order or sold-out state here, I managed to grab the LoTR one.
