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.
Rivet Wars Eastern Front, Cool Mini or Not
Rivet Wars is a
miniatures boardgame set on a world that never quite left World War I but with
crazy technology like walking tanks, diesel powered armor, uni-cycled vehicles
and armor plated cavalry! Don't let the cute visuals fool you; it's a world
full of angst, war-torn camaraderie and dark humor. Rivet Wars is at its heart
a strategy game, with both players deploying units each round to counter the
threats set forth by their opponent and stay one tactical step ahead. Players gather resources (bunkers and capture
points) and use these to deploy streams of new units! There's an ebb and flow
on the tactical landscape and you can stock up surprises for your opponent to
be unleashed even as he thinks he's winning!
Dungeon Raiders Board Game, Passport Game StudioPlayers work together, but only one will win! Join a brave party of adventurers! Explore a dungeon filled with monsters, traps and treasure! In Dungeon Raiders, each player takes the role of a different adventurer. Players need to work together to survive the dungeon, but only one will make it out with the most treasure and win the game. The dungeon is different each time you play, offering new surprises as you collect treasure, trigger traps and fight off horrible monsters.
Camelot has fallen. King Arthur is dead, Merlin is missing, and the treasury has been plundered. The remaining Knights of the Round Table have decided to duel over the remaining bags of gold found in the castle. To their aid they have King Arthur's crown, Merlin's crystal ball, and the magic sword, Excalibur. Players play combination of sword cards to steal bags of gold from players who can block or parry. The relics, such as the crown, crystal ball, and Excalibur, have special abilities. The player with the most points at the end can call themselves "king".
