The same board games that have become very common today. But at the time they were a big novelty. I played many of those and had good moments. Any board game we could find. One of those games was relaunched recently. It’s called Hero Quest. Magic was born from that board game boom from the early 90s. I knew about about it right away when it was released, but it was pretty expensive. I played mostly with borrowed cards. By the time I had enough money to build a deck I could only convince friends to play the Star Wars Decipher game. There were no Star Wars Special Edition or prequel movies at the time, so going with Star Wars was a no brainer. It was incredibly addictive. I played Magic too. And Netrunner, another great game by Richard Gardfield that is mostly forgotten today. WotC should release another set of that game if only for a limited run.
