Gift Ideas: Board Gaming

Here are my recommendations of board game gifts for Hanukkah and Christmas this year. (NOTE: I'm including the base set of Heroscape because this will be the last time you'll be able to buy it. The series has been discontinued.)

As always, good playing cards 1) make great stocking stuffers for any age and 2) don't have Hannah Montana on the backs.

UPDATE: Some browsers may not display the widget that's embedded above, so here's the list, in no particular order:

Dominion: Prosperity (requires Dominion), Scrabble Flash, Telestrations, Lego Creationary, Castle Ravenloft: The Board Game, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Small World: Be Not Afraid (requires Small World), Hersocape: Swarm of the Merro, and Solitaire Chess. They can all be found at Amazon, or wherever better games are sold.

  1. This is an utter non sequitur, but the thrift shop at my parish is called House on the Hill, and the name of the game "Betrayal at House on the Hill" is conjuring up the strangest images of spy thrillers involving the hyper-competent older women who typically run any church.

  2. My entire writing career is comprised of non sequiturs. The four stages in the life cycle of the fruit fly are egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
