Donald X. Vaccarino's deck-building grandfather — every board game collection worthy of the name has a copy. Each player starts with the same modest deck and over the course of an evening shapes a kingdom of their own through clever card-purchases. The 25 kingdom cards mean every game plays differently. Two-to-four players, roughly 30 minutes a hand.

A short note on this entry —
I have always thought a good board game is one where two of the players can leave halfway through and the remaining two still want to keep playing. By that test, this is a good board game. Bertram opened the box at the bench last Tuesday, counted every meeple against the manifest twice, and shrink-wrapped it again because the original wrap was perfect.
