Chess or checkers?

Re: Imperial borders

With this game being released next year I was wondering if HBG would be doing pieces for each country. I would be very interested. Thanks

I’ve played a couple. Commander-In-Chief has quality pieces and offers a fun alternative to Chess. Otherwise, Solitaire Chess offers interesting challenges with a handful of Chess pieces.

@DoManMacgee thank you very much

Anyone interested in kicking some tires via PBEM or PBF?

I’ve always found the history of the War card game quite interesting, especially when you compare it to Solitaire. War is one of those classic card games that is so simple yet engaging, much like Solitaire. Both games have been around for ages and have a sort of timeless appeal. War is thought to date back to at least the 19th century, and it is often one of the first card games kids learn because of its simplicity. Solitaire, on the other hand, has a rich history that goes back even further, with origins in Europe in the late 18th century. What I find fascinating about War is that it relies heavily on luck, while solitaire requires a bit more strategy and patience. This makes each game unique in its way. War is straightforward and fast-paced, which is great for quick, casual play. Solitaire can be more relaxing and requires a bit more thought, which can be very satisfying when you finally win. Both games have their charm and offer different kinds of enjoyment. War might not have the depth of solitaire, but it has its own appeal in its simplicity and the way it can quickly decide a winner. I think both games have survived for so long because they are easy to learn and play, making them accessible to everyone, regardless of age or skill level.
