[...] With the demise of the great board game companies of my youth — SPI, Yaquinto, Avalon Hill, FASA, GDW, Metagaming, Task Force, and many others — it looked like the hobby that fired my imagination and gave me such pleasure for decades was headed for extinction. But Fantasy Flight, Wizards of the Coast, Days of Wonder, and a handful of other companies have turned that around in the last few years, releasing terrific titles that have rejuvenated the entire genre, like RoboRally, Small World, Ikusa, and the epic Conquest of Nerath.

John: You REALLY need to!

When I first purchased the British Dungeons & Dragons board game through Paizo a few years back, I was baffled that Hasbro wasn’t releasing D&D themed board games in the US.

Then came last year’s, and this year’s, flood of games. I have been thoroughly impressed. Ravenloft and Ashardalon are wonderful additions to my gaming, and rpg gaming, library.

Conquest is dynamite.

I am looking forward to playing Battleship: Galaxies (a Wizards of the Coast game) this weekend, and eagerly await the Drizz’t game and “Dungeons of Dread” game later this year.

Some people may quibble about Hasbro’s treatment of the rpg, I’m not one of them as I love 4e/Essentials/Gamma World, but their use of the IP for board games has been fantastic.
