Board Games From Days of Wonder

Days of Wonder publishes top-quality, family-oriented board games that are easy to learn and fun to play. Their name is derived from the "sense of wonder" we all experienced as children when we first fell in love with playing games.

While easy to learn and play, each game has tactical game play elements that guarantee you'll want to replay them again and again. Days of Wonder games also set the standard for the highest quality components and uncompromising production values.

Days of Wonder is responsible for three major board game series:

• BattleLore - The world of BattleLore meshes history and fantasy together – putting players in command of a vast array of miniature troops on the battlefields of a Medieval Europe at the outset of the Hundred Years War.

• Memoir '44 - Memoir '44 is a unique historical game where players command a horde of little plastic Army men facing-off in dozens of World War II battles on an oversizes hex game board.

• Ticket To Ride - One of the most popular games ever designed, Ticket to Ride is a beautifully-illustrated coast-to-coast railroad journey, a simple yet strategic game of connecting cities with trains.

In addition to their series, Days of Wonder also produces a number of standalone games, many of them
award-winners and best-sellers in their own right:

• Cargo Noir
  Cargo Noir is a game of illicit trading in which players run "families" who traffic in smuggled goods around the world. Dispatching your cargo ships to the safest or richest ports; judging which contraband is the hottest; and laying in wait with your gold until the time is right... will all be keys to your success--allowing you to revel in the spoils of victory! Cargo Noir is the rare trading game that works equally well with 2 players or more! Cargo Noir introduces a rich and immersive atmosphere, filled with evocative illustrations of the dark and seedy smuggling world of the 1950's.
• Gang of Four
  Gang of Four is an exciting game of cunning, strategy and power! Originating in the gambling backstreets of Hong Kong, Gang of Four is the most popular card game to emerge from Asia in decades. Filled with an endless variety of strategies and tactics, Gang of Four is fun, entertaining and full of surprises, yet is simple to learn and play. The game's premise is simple - be the first to rid yourself of all your cards and ascend to supreme power. But beware - a strategic misstep may find you in a struggle to survive. Gang of Four is terrific fun for adults and children and is a highly addictive card game for your family or friends.
