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.
The People's Choice: A Presidential Card Game
This Game features
personalities, interests, management style, defining moments, and legacy. Learn
unusual and interesting facts about the leaders of our country while enjoying
the dynamic of putting "your" president up for election to see if he
wins.
Lords of Scotland Card Game, Z-Man Games
Do you have the
audacity and cunningness it takes to be crowned king? Recruit new soldiers and build your army in
order to face your rivals, only then will you be strong enough to try and
fight! Prove your worth in merciless skirmishes and your opponents will have no
other choice then to bow down to you as their leader. Do you have what it
takes?
Vikings Board Game, Z-Man Games
You are the leader
of a clan of Vikings. You are tasked with the scouting and settling of
undiscovered islands off the coast of the mainland. To expand your territories
and clan, you will need to master the game's clever rotating wheel. The price
for islands and Vikings will change as players acquire more of them. The game will
be tense until the end and you will need to protect your islands against the
ships that sail on the horizon. Are you the leader whose clan will rise above
the others?
London, Mayfair Games
London lies
devastated after the Great Fire of 1666. This is your opportunity to build a
new city on the ashes of the old. It is up to you how you employ the talents of
the people of London to this end. Will you favor the business classes, who will
earn you money? Or would you prefer to spend more money than you can rightly
afford on grand monuments and sumptuous palaces? You must also deal with the
problem of rising poverty and the how to employ the many paupers of the city.
Throughout the game you will be forced to make tough decisions. To achieve one
aim you must sacrifice another, which may open an opportunity for a competitor.
