From MB: Shogun (the first version of Samurai Swords, Ikusa, still with those nice little plastic swords which are missing in Ikusa). Fram Academy Games: 1775, 1754 and hopefully the upcoming 878 Viking Invasions of England will became an fovorite game too.

Also add some of the versions of Risk. My copy is the old wooden pieces. My son's copy has Napoleonic figures, and he has a Star Wars version too Mike |

Various modern Risk variants (except the Star Wars one … I like Star Wars, but those didn't seem to have "flavor", just SW minis). |
Volstagg Vanir | 05 Aug 2017 7:50 a.m. PST |
Cthulhu Wars Incursion Man'o'War Scythe Takenoko (and why not…?) Tokaido (Ditto) Ninja All Stars Super Dungeon Explore The Others: Seven Deadly Sins Zombicide It would be interesting to see the differences in nominations on a Board Game site (such as BoardGameGeek ) as opposed to a miniatures oriented site. |

Dungeon Saga Heroquest Warhammer Quest Battle Masters Battle Cry (Hasbro/Avalon Hill) Battleship Galaxies: The Saturn Initiative Conquest of the Empire Dungeons & Dragons Electronic Game (way back machine) Dungeon! Risk: Star Wars 2015 edition (plays more like The Queen's Gambit than Risk). Betrayal at House on the HIll D&D: Conquest of Nerath (basically an Axis&Allies variant, only more fun, IMHO.) Games that use miniatures as markers, but not really as what they represent: Risk: 40th Anniversary Ed., Lord of the Rings Trilogy Ed., 2210 AD Ed., Star Wars Attack of the Clones Ed., Star Wars Original Trilogy Ed.. Godstorm. No, the figs have little to do with what they represent (aside from the Death Star), but they're nice figs in fun games. I don't include X-Wing, Wings of War/Glory, Sails of Glory and the like because they actually aren't board games,* but are miniatures games in their own right.** They're just pre-paints that happen to be mass produced. * There's no board. Kind of rules 'em out as "board games." **Miniatures behave distinctly as what each is supposed to represent, with a 1:1 relationship; they're not markers for some abstract concept nor counters for tracking amounts of forces. |

I made a version of Clue that uses zombies. Cludo for the UK folks. I also made a miniatures version of Awful Green Things from Outerspace, with Playmobil figures.
