The Adventure Begins Game Blog

Welcome to the Adventure Begins Game Blog. I am your host, Samantha. Today we are going to be going over a lot, so bare with me!! During World War II, the Nazis let Allied prisoners of war play board games. The British government was even allowed to send incarcerated soldiers a game or two. One of the games it sent was Monopoly. Instead of sending the game apparatus, the box contained tools for escape. The British government, with the cooperation of the game’s publisher (the Parker brothers), hid real bank notes among the Monopoly money. Compasses, metal files, and a folded silk map were also concealed to help the POWs flee their captors. It worked; the soldiers escaped.

We have some amazing new board games for you to come and check out. The first one is: Masters of the Universe: The Board Game. We do sell the base game in the story and the Box of power bundled. MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: THE BOARD GAME- CLASH OF ETERNIA is a competitive one vs many or fully cooperative action-driven board game.

 If you are wondering about The Warrior of Krynn, you don’t have to worry anymore!  We zero in on this notion that Dragonlance is a war story,” said Ray Winninger, head of D&D at Wizards. “Classic Dragonlance is set against the backdrop of this massive conflict, and these sort of massive military battles are an important part of Dragonlance. One of the original 12 Dragonlance modules was a wargame Dragons of Glory. They asked you to stop your role-playing game experience and start playing a wargame for a bit.

“[It] allows you to play out sort of massive military battles in the world of Krynn. But one of the interesting things about that game is that it has a lot of narrative elements, just like a role-playing game.
