Amazon’s Deal of the Day features a large selection of strategic board games today–five pages of them!
I was surprised (and excited) to see a lot of highly rated games I haven’t played before.  I’m also currently on a yearly trip I take to play board games with my friends, so the timing couldn’t be more perfect.  I’m going to look at some of the unfamiliar titles with them later, but here are a couple of picks I personally like.
San Juan
The Card Game based on the Highly Acclaimed Puerto Rico Strategy Game
Puerto Rico’s golden age returns. .. with your help!
Transform Puerto Rico into an economic and industrial powerhouse in San Juan, the card game based on the award-winning Puerto Rico board game. Race against your fellow colonists as you strive to buy up plantations and mines, and build industrial, commercial and government buildings. Become the dominant power behind the economy of this tropical paradise and show the world who is in charge of the island!
An extraordinary card game with a wide variety of playing options for long lasting fun!
Kingdom Builder
The award winning game designed by Donald X. Vaccarino. In Kingdom Builder the players create their own Kingdoms by skillfully building their settlements, aiming to earn the most gold at the end of the game. A highly variable game board and varying scoring conditions will ensure that you won’t be playing the same game ever, unless you want to.
What would you recommend out of the list? Â I’m looking for some new games!
Please note, if you buy things through my Amazon links, I will receive a small amount of credit.
Resistance is awesome, so is Sheriff of Nottingham. Concept is a really fun twist on Pictionary as well. All definitely worth picking up.
