Boardgames

 

Paths of Glory - GMT

 

The most popular game on WWI.  It might not be a great simulation, but it's a great game, using a card driven system that ensures no two games are alike.

 

The First World War - Phalanx Games

 

Designed by Ted Raicer, who is the remarkable talented game designer responsible for Paths of Glory, this is a much more accessible game of WWI that can be comfortably played in an evening, but nonetheless conjures up many of the dilemmas facing the protagonists of the Great War. 

 

Triumph of Chaos - Clash of Arms

 

The latest of a not so long line of games simulating the Russian Civil War.  This one has obviously been heavily influenced by Paths of Glory and is likewise a card driven game.  Colourful (and complex) it is not for the feint hearted, but will appeal to those with a real interest in this chaotic period.
