18xx |
Chris Lawson's page for his excellent game
kits based on the 18xx family of games plus his
web site devoted to the games of Reiner Knizia. |
The
Depot |
If your taste runs to the 18xx family of
games, this is the site you should bookmark this
site. |
The
Diplomacy Archive |
A rich repository of information on anything
related to Diplomacy. |
Gooner's
Diplomacy Site |
No, I don't know why I am plugging an Arsenal
supporter's Diplomacy site either. The site is a
bit garish but the content's fine. |
ALB
& GSB |
A site featuring the hobbies of Ally Bain and
is son Graeme. One of their hobbies is Diplomacy,
and the section on this site devoted to it has
some stragey articles and links to other
Diplomacy sites. |
Siedler
von Catan |
The German board game sensation. English
version now appearing. |
Arithmatrix |
Available as a board game or PC game this is
an ingenious looking number game played on a
gridde board. The French version is called
Arithmatrix the Gaul.... |
Questique |
OK, so we've plugged a number game so we
ought to mention a word game. Questique,
though somewhat similar to a very well known
crossword-style word game, has the enormous
advantage of not requiring an extensive knowledge
of obscure two letter words in order to do well
at the game. |
Crokinole
or Pichenotte |
Two sites both covering this venerable game
in which discs are flicked by a finger or a
flicker. Sort of like a cross between shove
ha'penny and snooker as far as I can tell, the
wooden boards look great. |
6
Billion |
Board Not Bored games have a web site devoted
to their flagship game, 6 Billion, but perhaps of
equal interest is the story of what it took to
get the game published. |
Solo
games |
A neat idea this, a site devoted to solo
games. Predominantly these are war and
sports games because ... well because those are
the genres that produce most solitaire games I
guess. |
Shieldwall |
An abstract game but based on the tactics
used by the Saxons when they snatched defeat from
the jaws of victory at Hastings. Some pieces are
used purely for blocking whilst the rest may be
used to capture opposing pieces; some neat ideas. |
World of Warcraft money |
"Make money with World of Warcraft – buy or sell WOW gold at Sparter.com, the world’s first company devoted to enabling global Gamer2Gamer™ trading of WOW currency." |
