Board Game Reviews?

[thundershot]

I'd love to see board games reviewed here on EN World. There are so many great games out there that you can't buy at Toys R Us or Wal-Mart that people don't even realize exist.

My latest possibility are two games, Settlers of Catan (with expansion for 6 players) and Traders of Genoa.

Has anyone here actually played these games to give their impressions? I've seen nothing but positive responses so far, but I was just wondering what my fellow ENers thought.

(Oh, and in case anyone didn't know, Settlers of Catan is what created the infamous "I have wood for sheep" quote from B.A. of Knights of the Dinner Table")



Thanks!
Chris

I'm not a moderator but I can say that boardgames are probably beyond the scope of this website.

There are sites devoted to boardgames.

eg. http://boardgamegeek.com/

Also, one of the games you are asking about is being discussed here .

Personally, I would suggest that board game discussion go on in one the Non-D&D specific forums, along with Books, Computergames, and Movies. However, this suggestion should really be in the 'Meta' forum.

One of the better boardgame sites. Staff reviews, user reviews and online shopping as well.
