Nomarch's tomb - A Strategy Game about Ancient Egypt - by Michael J. Costa: Nomarch's tomb is a strategy game that consists of 3 square grids representing 3 land regions of Ancient Egypt. The players move their pawns in these grids, collecting property cards upon landing on a square and either buying the land or conquering it with their Army, also represented as cards. Gold is earned by the player for farming (buying farm land), appeasing the gods (buying Temples), conquest (using Army cards with dice to determine results), or trade (trading cards with other players). Players may land on a marked square for certain actions. Use "Plunder" Cards where the player takes 3 cards from all players (or an amount of gold if no cards are available); "Tribute" where the player gives 1 card to all other players (or gold); "Oracle" using the Oracle Deck of cards for certain actions; & "Golden Coffers" Card Deck that gives rewards. When the player has enough gold and property cards then s/he may build their Tomb and Mortuary Temple. The Tomb is an untouchable property card held in place by a Pyramid piece. The game ends when one player completes the Tomb and Mortuary Temple and becomes a Nomarch. The winner then plays a Bonus Game of Senet to secure their afterlife and earn more rewards from the Golden Coffers deck. Senet is played with all the player pawns in the game; up to 7 players are possible for Nomarch's Tomb. Copyright 2014 Michael J. Costa, All rights reserved.

Champion checkers player Millard Hopper wrote this informative guide to another popular board game, backgammon. Hopper covers game play, strategies, and tactics simply but in detail (and with plenty of illustrations). He notes: "Backgammon, while holding a wealth of strategy and skill does not require the exacting concentration of chess and checkers. While luck plays a great part in the results of the game where players are evenly matched, still, a skillful player when paired against a haphazard one, will far excel his inexperienced adversary." Hopper gives the student of backgammon the tools needed to increase his skill on the board.
