Staff Picks and Best Sellers
Star Wars Deckbuilding Game
The galaxy-spanning war between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance comes alive on your tabletop. In this easy-to-learn game, you and your opponent each choose a side, playing as either the Empire or the Rebels, and as the game progresses you both strengthen the power of your starting decks and work to destroy each other's bases. The first player to destroy three of their opponent's bases wins.
Quarto
The object is to place the fourth piece in a row in which all four pieces have at least one attribute in common. The twist is that your opponent gets to choose the piece you place on the board each turn.
Why Jon P. likes it:
It is 4D connect four. You give your opponent the piece that they play, making it a deep and suspenseful experience.
