Introduction

The Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. brings two things: turkey and the holiday shopping season.  For the staff of The Wargamer, we assemble our annual Holiday Buying Guide, a selection of recommendations geared towards our readers.  These recommendations are based on the hundreds of games we've played in 2004, and we believe them to be excellent choices for all sorts of gamers.

As usual, we've broken up our favorites into a predictable assortment of categories: wargames, strategy games, FPS/action games, flight sims,  RPGs, and table top games.  While the war and strategy game lists are our largest, with the help of some new contributors, we've expanded our tabletop selection significantly.  In addition to picking board games, we also included card and miniature games.

Thanks for your patronage of The Wargamer. 

How to Use This Guide

The Wargamer's Holiday Buying Guide for 2004 is broken up into sections, with each section listing a series of games. Each game has a brief description and some helpful descriptive elements to help decide if this game might have an appeal for the gift recipient. Finally, links are provided to coverage here on The Wargamer, outside web pages where applicable, and a helpful purchase link. We recommend purchasing from e-tailers including GoGamer (great pricing), Chips 'n Bits (great selection of hard-to-find games), Amazon (great for most everything non-gaming), or the respective publisher's store for those hard-to-find games.

Thanks for reading The Wargamer, and Happy Holidays!
