Any lover of the books and TV movies can attest to the success of the franchise, and this game is no different. You play the wizard of your choice and feel all the excitement, suspense, horror, and joy they went through at different stages of their journeys. You also get to dictate the outcome of already-existing scenarios, or create your own scenarios. There are likely scenes where you wish some of the characters had done things differently, and wished you were in their shoes to turn things around. This game gives you the opportunity to fit into those situations and handle things better.

Here are other features you can expect from this awesome game:

• Offers different levels of difficulty in ascending order. You are not offered one level of difficulty throughout the entirety of the game; the more hurdles you cross, the better the chances of opening extra levels and getting more suspense. There is no end to the thrill.
• Opportunity to handle potions and spells that you probably thought your favorite characters handled wrongly. Use these potions and combination of spells to save loved ones and defeat villains that are hard to deal with.
• Several players can play at once. You can either use four players, or use two who can play two different characters of their choices, each. However, you'll probably get the best out of this game if the maximum number of players is used.
• Room to adjust the timingof one game session without losing your place or the thrill. Draw out your enjoyment and suspense for as long as you can by adding twists and turns. Or shorten it to get in as many game sessions as you can within a specified period.
• Any age range can play this game because of the levels of difficulty and, probably, the villains you encounter. It is not boring or simple in any way, but it has no element of goriness or nightmarish characters to haunt children. It is suitable for enjoyment for your whole family.
• Gain mastery of board games generally and fantasy board games specifically. When you understand the intricacies of this one and master them, every other one you come across will pose little difficulty to you.

Wizards of the Coast has brought fantasy to life for nearly three decades. It presents board games and toys that stand the test of time, pulling its weight in the ranks of time-tested games. These qualities have also made it into one of the companies with the fastest-selling collectors’ cards and games. You are not putting your gaming in the hands of people without knowledge or experience. This is one of the sweetest deals you can make.

The Wizards of the Coast Lords of Waterdeep Board Game has a design that accommodates several players at the same time. This means that you get the chance to role-play as a leader and recruit minions to serve whatever agenda you have, aiming to become the supreme lord. This feature gives you the opportunity to test your skills as a leader and a decision-maker, and hone your already existing skills. It is as educational as it is entertaining. It's also a great starter kit for new gamers who wish to learn. The maneuvering isn’t hard to master, and once you do, other fantasy board games become very easy to play. It can even increase the competitive levels of gamers who don’t have much to go by in that department.

Other features of the game include the following:

• Allows for up to five players – We all know that the more players there are, the more complex it gets and the merrier. Not that two or three players can’t play, but you derive the most enjoyment when you play with the maximum number of players.
• Can be played by both the young and the old – Nobody is left out of the fun. Some games may allow this, but the adults may lose interest after some time, or the younger ones drift away in boredom. However, this one is different. It holds the interest of everyone form beginning till the end.
• Not difficult to understand – You won't spend time setting it up or trying to understand technicalities when you should get down to the fun you bought it for.

There’s nothing like being included in the scheme of things from the word "go." Fantasy Flight Games makes sure to include non-English-speaking players all around the world into the mold when setting out to produce entertaining board games. Since setting up shop in 1995, Fantasy Flight Games has developed and produced a huge number of role-playing and card games. It goes back to the drawing board constantly to map out creative ways to produce subsequent editions of already-existing games and create fresh ones. Its customers already feel welcome and satisfied due to the company’s friendliness and service-oriented values.

The Fantasy Flight Games A Game of Thrones: The Board Game is based on the very popular novels turned TV series. However, this game takes on a life of its own, so people who haven't read the novels or seen the show can still enjoy it. You can play in scenes which are not even in the books or show. The thrill comes not only from its surprise and partial originality; it also comes from the strategic gameplay and the details of events. Even the punishments meted serve the purpose of making the defaulting party sit up. You not only relive the novel and the series; you become a part of it. Detail is everything.

And to disperse lingering doubts, here are more features:

• Takes multiple players – Because the game has seven houses that are competing for the iron throne, it would serve you best if you play with a complete seven. However, three or four can still suffice.
• Long game time – To draw out the suspense and chances to win. Short game time doesn’t usually satisfy fantasy game players, because of all the levels and difficulties involved. Enjoy your game with this advantage added to it.
• Suitable for young and older people – It is a great way to bond with your family, friends, and neighbors.
• A chance to play your favorite character – And settle scores, if you wish! Even though the storyline is not entirely based on the books or the series, most of it is. You may find that you want to turn around outcomes you didn’t think went well in either the books or the show. There’s freedom to dictate the flow of events.

Being a pioneer of something is priceless. Avalon Hill can boast of being one, because it was the first company to venture into the publishing of a new kind of board game considered as a war game, with its Tactics game. The success of this game worldwide set up Avalon Hill as a leader in the development and manufacture of strategic board games and war games, and set it on the path to global accolades and recognition. Added to these feats is the fact that this company has been operating for 60 years; we all know that experience is everything, and it comes with age.

The Avalon Hill Betrayal At House On The Hill game is dynamic. No matter how many times you come back to play it, you never experience the same haunt. Just about everything keeps changing. For lovers of horror, this is a treasure, because horror-themed movies and games tend to get monotonous and boring, following the same lines over and again. But not this one; you get a fresh thrill every time. And that takes us to another great feature: you can replay a game session as many times as you want. This replay value is an attraction, because you have a chance to do things differently without losing the whole point of the game. Enjoy the shivers of dread, the shrieks of terror, and the ghouls and mummies at every new turn.

This game also features the following:

• Suspense-filled game sessions – Not just because the theme is horror, but also because the layout and finishing are phenomenal. You would hardly believe that you are just playing a game.
• Room for multiple players – This game can also be played with a few people, but you know that the more, the merrier. You never know what is coming right around the corner, so you need as many allies as you can get, even though some of them can turn around and become your enemy without warning. They just pounce. The horror!
• Can be played by any age group – Children are not excluded from the fun. This game could actually help them overcome the fear of the boogeyman if they see that there’s nothing to fear after all.
• Easy-to-understand instructions – Clear enough that you don’t get confused, put things in the wrong places, or spend too much time trying to figure things out.

When you hear the company name Hasbro, think experience, quality, durability, customer satisfaction, and renown. It opened as a toy company in 1942, and is now the world’s third largest producer of toys. It has its name on globally known products such as Monopoly, Transformers toys, G.I. Joe figurines, and so on. It even created the popular animated series My Little Pony. Hasbro isn’t confined to just one area of production; it produces both board games and TV shows. Diversity in production sometimes makes for inconsistency, because many companies find that they can’t focus on many different products and give them the same level of quality. But this isn’t so with Hasbro. With the level of success it has attained worldwide, it goes without saying that anything that comes from this company is top-notch.

The Hasbro Candy Land: Disney Princess Edition is a game made entirely of toys. This is a great feature because, not only will your children be able to play with it as a fantasy board game, they'll also be able to play separately with the Disney Princess figures. This game is not restricted to just three-to-five-year-olds; children as old as seven and eight can play with it, as well as one- and two-year olds. It is colorful and interesting enough to hold their attention. It'll also help keep them busy for a while to enable you attend to other things.

Here are more reasons you should go pick up this game:

• Really affordable – You don’t have to worry about spending too much on a game that may end up being mangled by your children in a very short time. It is a great bargain because of the already mentioned dual purposes it can serve.
• Builds cognitive abilities in children – Due to the tasks they have to perform, playing the role of one princess or another, in order to dance at the ball. It helps them learn strategy and make intelligent decisions, in a fun way. And when they play with other children, it can help strengthen the bonds between them.
• Takes two or more players at the same time – There are up to four princesses to play, so your children and their friends can play together and build friendships.
