New Board Games

While there's nothing wrong with playing a classic board game like Monopoly or Risk (or an even more classic one like chess or checkers), sometimes new board games are necessary to change things up a bit. Many war, strategy and historical games consistently come out with new campaigns that can be used to expand upon existing games. You can buy board games and their newest expansion packs at PLAYTHEGAMEREADTHESTORY.com.

Some of the newest board games we offer include Bridge Troll, Sumeria, Genoa, and Pack & Stack. In Bridge Troll, several players can play as hideous trolls guarding a bridge, throwing boulders to bid for travelers that include fat merchants, pilgrims, poor monks, and royal personages to collect tolls to build up your bridge. There is a twist, though-building your bridge makes you hungry, so you'll have to eat some of the travelers as well!

Take a look through our selection of newer board games. The newest items are always listed at the bottom of the Board Games page on our online store. We hope you find what you're looking for!
