Fallout
This two-player Fallout Wasteland Warfare board game is perfect for anyone who loves this video game. Since it’s a two-person game, find a friend who shares the love of Fallout with you to play along with!
Amazon Review: “What a great game. We’ve been having a blast with it since it arrived. Pros and Cons incoming. If you like the fallout universe, or skirmish style miniature wargaming, this game is for you. If you’re familiar with skirmish wargaming, go ahead and spring for the resin miniatures starter though, it’ll end up saving you a little money in he long run. All of the expansion kits are resin, the included PVC models in the starter set suffer from classic GW inbred mumbley face, and lack a little definition.”

Civilization
Civilization: A New Dawn allows players to rewrite history as they develop culture, technology, and military strength. For this game, you must play with 2-4 players from ages 14 and up.
Amazon Review: “My son is a huge Civilization video game fan, and saved his own money to purchase this game. The pieces are durable, similar quality you would expect from an Arkham Horror or Twilight Imperium. My son did the setup and read the rules on his own and found the game to be easily playable even as it is more complex in its dynamics than a more conventional board game (Like Monopoly).”

Dorfromantik
This board game is based on the indie hit video game that was released in 2021. The board game consists of completing tasks in order to earn points, and is a game of collaboration.
Amazon Review: “My family has had a blast with this one! The graphics are simple and effective but super charming. The play itself is simple and easy to learn but it ads complexity as you make your way through campaigns. Highly recommend for beginner strategy gamers or gamers looking to play more collaborative style games.”
