Thematic Games

(148 products)

Thematic Games contain a strong theme which drives the overall game experience, creating a dramatic story ("narrative") similar to a book or action movie. Some well-known examples are Battlestar Galactica, Twilight Imperium and War of the Ring.

This type of game often features player to player direct conflict (with the chance of elimination), dice rolling, and plastic miniatures.

A Thematic Game is usually created around its main dramatic theme, which its rules and mechanics aim to depict. Themes typically involve fighting or good-versus-evil conflicts with heroes and villains. Science fiction and fantasy themes are common.

Best thing for any board gamers

Great quality, good for keeping track of ACTION Points in games and life points.

One of my go-to ; everyone should own a copy

One of my favourites to introduce non-gamers to something other than mass-market boardgames.

The collaborative aspect makes it so the shy folks and the competitive ones can both enjoy the game simultaneously.

It's easy enough for kids to understand, but complex enough to be challenging, without being soul-crushing.

The design of the "board" is just simple and elegant.

I mean; it won Mensa Select... that's all you need to know.

Excellent

Order was processed quickly and received right before Christmas. Would recommend using again.

tales of Arthurian Knights

Very beautiful looking game. Love the large book full of story. Didn't get it to the table yet but look forward to it.

If I fits, I sits

This is not going to be a game for everyone, especially if AP (analysis paralysis) players or having to frequently refer to a player aid is a concern. Each time you take and place cat cards, players will need to consider how each type of cat scores; this means either constantly looking at the player aid or memorizing the scoring for each cat type.
That aside (or rather once I got in the swing of which cats scored what), I love the puzzle nature of the game and how sometimes you have to take some negative points to achieve a greater good. ;) Even if I have to play this one only solo, its staying in my collection for quite some time!
