The Histocrats support the idea of incorporating board-games into your personal life as well as in the classroom. As such, we support and participate in a local board-gaming group. Any and all board-game enthusiasts are welcome to join the Game Nights that are held every first and third Friday night of the month. As part of our gaming group initiative, we also recommend history centric games that are fun to play each week to all of our followers. The selected games receive our “Game of the Week” distinction. Recommended games are a mix of cooperative, card games, as well Euro style games.

Love Letter, Alderac Entertainment GroupAll of the eligible young men (and many of the not-so-young) seek to woo the princess of Tempest.

Linkage: A DNA Card Game, Genius Games
Linkage is a fast-paced, competitive genetics themed card game based on the process of DNA Transcription (Creating an RNA copy of a DNA template). Each player links RNA cards side-by-side to build their own RNA strand, attempting to copy a shared DNA Template. Players decide whether to build on their own RNA strand, repair their RNA strand, mutate an opposing strand, or mutate the DNA template itself. Players earn points based upon how accurately their RNA strands match the DNA Template, and the player with the most points at the end of the game wins!
Viceroy, Mayday Games
Viceroy is a board game of bidding and resource management set in the fantasy universe of the famous Russian CCG Berserk. As the players struggle for control over the world of Laar, they recruit a variety of allies and enact various laws. These cards allow players to develop their state's military and magical might, increase their authority, and get precious gems they need to continue expanding their nation.
As the game progresses, each player builds his own power pyramid using character and law cards. Each card has its own effect that depends on the level of the pyramid where the card is played. These effects may give more resources, more cards, or victory points. The player who has the most power points at the end of the game becomes the ruler of all of Laar and the winner!
