MERCS. SmallWorld. Robo Rally. Kingdom Builder. Ticket to Ride. Agricola, and Assessing the Value of Moves Untaken. On a game-by-game level I’m choosy about reading strategy articles.
For about half of the games I play regularly, I avoid reading anything of this kind. I know there to have been plenty written about how to succeed at Race for the Galaxy, but I want to learn about its card combinations and hand management strategies for myself. On the other hand, there are games I want to play to the highest standard I possibly can, and that inevitably means standing on the shoulders of others to do so – using their wisdom, and advancing from it.
I think each approach has value, and there are enough games I have a chance to play regularly that I can utilize each. Agricola is one game I wish to play at a serious level. This may be true with respect to strategy articles about other games too. Masterworks Miniature Painting with Marike Reimer Now Available.

I want to begin by telling you that board games have grown up but, actually, board games have been growing up for a while now.
They've started to carry a dignity and a sense of style that's turning the head of many a video gamer. It's like they went away to boarding school young and geeky, and now they've returned as buff and hunky adults, all strut and swagger. Sales are rising year on year, while the hobby's biggest convention (Spiel, in Essen, Germany) now attracts more attendees than E3 and PAX combined. Most importantly, more and more video gamers are buying board games and if you're not yet one of them, let me tell you why you should be. First of all, I'm not talking about the dreary, dry, musty, interminable agonies that are Scrabble or Ludo or Trivial Pursuit.
The game of Game of Thrones. New Board Game Brings Life To Life. Thomas MacMillan Photo Born into a middle-class family, United Way staffer Josh Mamis amassed a huge fortune as a successful entrepreneur, bought a presidential election to consolidate his power, then had a change of heart in his twilight years and helped redistribute society’s wealth—all on his lunch break.
Mamis (at right in photo) didn’t do all that in real life. His alter-ego accomplished it in a new board game called “Generations.” In a trial run the other day, Mamis, a former New Haven Advocate publisher and current community engagement head at United Way, emerged as a champion. It’s like the board game “Life” “on crack,” 32-year-old inventor J.R. Generations was born out of Logan’s frustration with “Life,” the board game which takes players on a carefree journey from college to retirement. In Generations, players start out at birth, born into a life of privilege or hard knocks, and proceed through 100 years of ups and downs, if they don’t get killed along the way.
