Description: Four diseases have broken out in the world and it is up to a team of specialists in various fields to find cures before mankind is wiped out.
Players must plan their strategy to work to their characters’ strengths before the diseases overwhelm the world. For example, the Operations Specialist can build research stations, which are needed to find cures for the diseases. The Scientist needs only 4 cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal 5. But the diseases are breaking out fast and time is running out: the team must try to stem the tide of infection in diseased areas while developing cures. If disease spreads uncontrolled, the players all lose. If they find the cures, they win.
The board shows earth with some big population centres. On each turn a player can use four actions to travel, cure, discover and build. Cards are used for this but the deck also contains Epidemics…

You should see this titan of a board game. All other board games cower in fear at the sight of this one. It’s massive, heavy, and has more stuff than any other Axis & Allies before it.
This, my friends, is Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition.
Here’s what Board Game Geek had to say about it:
To celebrate the 50-year anniversary of Avalon Hill, Axis & Allies is launching its most expansive game ever. The Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition will feature the debut of Italy as the third Axis nation, the introduction of the cruiser unit to the naval lineup, and the largest Axis & Allies board to-date measuring 24×46 inches. With over 600 pieces, players will be able to recreate and decide the outcome of WWII like never before. The Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition is designed and developed by Larry Harris, the original designer of Axis & Allies, and will release on November 18, 2008.

Dominion is in, the game has shot to position 9 in the ranks of BoardGameGeek.com’s database of over 20,000 games in the first couple of weeks after its release in North America. Come get your copy today before they all sell out!
In Dominion, each player starts with an identical, very small deck of cards. In the center of the table is a selection of other cards the players can “buy” as they can afford them. Through their selection of cards to buy, and how they play their hands as they draw them, the players construct their deck on the fly, striving for the most efficient path to the precious victory points by game end.
You are a monarch, like your parents before you, a ruler of a small pleasant kingdom of rivers and evergreens. Unlike your parents, however, you have hopes and dreams! You want a bigger and more pleasant kingdom, with more rivers and a wider variety of trees. You want a Dominion! In all directions lie fiefs, freeholds, and feodums. All are small bits of land, controlled by petty lords and verging on anarchy. You will bring civilization to these people, uniting them under your banner.
But wait! It must be something in the air; several other monarchs have had the exact same idea. You must race to get as much of the unclaimed land as possible, fending them off along the way. To do this you will hire minions, construct buildings, spruce up your castle, and fill the coffers of your treasury. Your parents wouldn’t be proud, but your grandparents would be delighted.
Dominion is not a CCG, but the play of the game is similar to the construction and play of a CCG deck. The game comes complete with roughly 500 cards. You select 10 of the 25 Kingdom card types to include in any given play — leading to immense variety.

Oh, there it is, you’re holding it! Silly Mario! I’ll never lose my DS again because you’ll be holding it whenever it’s not in my hands. Thanks Mario, you’re the greatest.
Now you too can have everyone’s favorite plumber hold your DS! He can probably even hold face cloths, socks, or maybe even small rocks.

It is a tale from deep within the bowels of time. A toy cobbler by the name of Todd McFarlane put together 3 beautifully sculpted statues for the consumers of the world.
What? I never said it was a hard story to tell.
