For the Board Game Fan in your life:

• Wingspan is a top game year after year. Its a great game for either solo players or with friends and family. If dragons are more your thing, there’s even Wyrmspan. Both games are perfect for those collectors among us :)

• A go to game for many in the Chaos Cards team is Pandemic. It’s a nice game to play with friends and family as you work together to eradicate diseases before they overwhelm the world and mankind is wiped out. Its a good co-operative game where you either win or lose in the race against time to prevent outbreaks and find a cure.
