In honor of National Games Week, Barnes and Noble has expanded their normally paltry collection of board games to include seminal classics like Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan, Robo-Rally, and more.National Games Week officially starts on November 19 (hey, that's when the Wii launches!), but Barnes and Noble has decided to start the party a little early. While a lot of the games can be easily found at specialty stores, it's good to see them getting mainstream exposure. And if you don't live near any specialty gaming stores, but have a local B&N, this might be a great opportunity to pick up a terrific addition to your collection, or make a special holiday request.
What? Didn't you hear that analog games are back in style?
A more complete list of available games after the break.
In case you're looking for a particular title, here's a list of games which Barnes & Noble is now carrying (not all-inclusive):
- Axis and Allies
- Blokus
- Carcassonne
- Hey! That's My Fish
- I'm the Boss
- Knights of Charlemagne
- Niagara
- Puerto Rico
- Robo-Rally
- Settlers of Catan
- Shear Panic
- Tsuro
I personally wish they were carrying Reiner Knizia's Lord of the Rings board game, and maybe a few of James Ernest's Cheapass games, like Kill Doctor Lucky. Anything else you feel should be included?
