It’s a little surprising how popular World War II is as a genre and a setting for video games. Gamers seem obsessed with fighting and refighting battles that took place over 80 years ago. Not that I am complaining, as I’m a huge fan as well. I try to play just about every WWII themed title that releases.

Playing the latest video games is, of course, a lot of fun. Otherwise, we wouldn’t spend billions every year on them. But board games can be pretty enjoyable too, and sometimes getting together with friends or family around a table to socialize without a screen separating everyone from the rest of the world can be even better.
