GOB Civilization Building – Game Recommendations

GOB Civilization Building – Game Recommendations

These recommendations are a combination of consistent top sellers, trending games, and staff favorites. They are not presented in any particular order. Feel free to ask an associate to show you these games.

  • Ark Nova Board Game
    Deep, strategic gameplay that is highly replayable. Strong, engaging theme of building a zoo and conservation. Trending strongly over the past year.
  • Tiny Towns Board Game
    Simple and accessible ruleset with significant strategic depth, high replayability due to variable scoring cards. Engaging player interaction through a shared resource-building mechanic. Simultaneous play keeps downtime to a minimum.
  • Carcassonne: With River and Abbot Expansions
    Carcassonne is a simple tile laying game easy for new players, but gets more cut throat as you reach higher player numbers. Game of the year in 2001. Considered one of the great gateway games.
  • Scythe Board Game
    Blending engine-building, resource management, and territory control with a visually stunning steampunk world. High-quality components, a compelling alternate-history theme, and a unique, strategic combat system—where combat is a risk rather than the main focus.
  • Catan 6th Edition
    The next monopoly, they say. One of the best selling board games over the past 25 years. May one day eclipse monopoly. Fair easy to learn. Guaranteed a game you can find players for. Combines strategy with resource trading.
  • Dice Theme Park Dice Game
    Strategy and thematic fun building a theme park. Dice management, tile placement and dice manipulation with an easy to learn ruleset.
  • Its a Wonderful Kingdom Board Game
    Engaging "cut, I choose" card drafting that adds a bluffing element, the variety offered by its three optional gameplay modules, and the smooth engine-building core mechanics that carry over from its predecessor.
  • Tower Up Board Game
    Simple-to-learn, quick-to-play design that offers surprising tactical depth and engaging interactions on a shared city board. A recently trending game.
  • Beyond Hadrian's Wall 3rd Edition
    A easy-to-learn strategy game where Rome tries to conquer territory north of Hadrian's wall while up to 3 tribes compete to build their own culture while resisting Roman expansion.
  • Kingdomino Board Game
    Easy to learn, lots to puzzle over and great at two to four players. Board game of the year for 2017.
