Classic Board Games - PC Games

Most of the time, game publishers assembling an array of popular board games will include standards such as "Chess" and "Backgammon", and might go so far as to include "Reversi"--just to add a little flavour. But Microsoft has taken the word "classic" to another realm.

Be warned: this package is for hardcore board gamers. With inclusions of such games as "Gomoku" and "Shogi", it's stacked with games most of us have never played and never heard of. It might be a little too much for the casual gamer (maybe looking to improve on a free copy of "Solitaire"), but should prove a treasure for those more edified or adventurous. Unless you really know your games, this probably isn't for you. --Frances Barber
