Dungeons & Dragons: Conquest of Nerath is normally not the type of game we'd be showing you here. Why's that? Because it requires no screens, wires, microchips or electricity. It's G4 Unplugged! Thanks to the fine folks at Wizards of the Coast, we were able to get an exclusive sneak peek at this upcoming board game, and you can check out our unboxing video below. If you're looking for Risk and Axis & Allies style gameplay in the realms of D&D, then Conquest of Nerath is exactly what you've been waiting on.
Plenty of us at G4 don't stop playing games when we turn our consoles and PCs off, and we're going to bring you more of these board game previews and reviews from time to time. We'll be checking out Fantasy Flight's Gears of War board game later this year, as well as checking out titles like Battlestar Galactica, Space Alert, Puerto Rico, and plenty of others. Got a favorite board game you like playing? Let us know and we'll check it out!
War has come to the Dungeons & Dragons world! In the north, the undead legions of the Dark Empire of Karkoth march against the fragile League of Nerath, determined to sweep away the human kingdoms forever. To the south, the infernal Iron Circle launches its own goblin hordes in a campaign of conquest against the elves and corsairs of Vailin. From the snowy expanse of the Winterbole Forest to the sun-warmed coasts of ancient Vailin, four great powers struggle for survival.
Muster armies of footsoldiers, siege engines, monsters, and dragons to attack your enemies. Fight across the waves with fleets of warships and raging elementals. Plunder ancient dungeons with bands of mighty heroes, searching for magical artifacts and awesome treasures that might tip the scales of battle in your favor. The fate of empires is in your hands! Dungeons & Dragons: Conquest of Nerath will be released on June 21, 2011, and will retail for $79.99.
This game includes the following components:
- Rulebook
- Dice
- Game board
- 110 cards
- 252 plastic playing pieces representing the champions and armies of Nerath, Karkoth, the Iron Circle, and Vailin

Dominion, 7 Wonders, Endeavor, Race for the Galaxy, Twilight Imperium(much improved by "Shattered Empire" expansion), Pandemic(even better with "On the Brink" expansion), Agricola. All great board games that you guys should check out if you haven't played them. I own BSG and Puerto Rico also.
Dominion being my favorite, its a deck-building card game that plays like a CCG but everyone drafts cards from a common pool to build their deck up over the course of the game.

The end of the video is exactly how all of my board gaming adventures with friends go, too.

I'm not seeing any clear place for dice rolls though, in Risk we always used the oceans to roll on but those are a playing field here.
I can see many annoyed friends from pieces needing to be replaced each turn lol, unless the board is smaller than it appears, and the board doesn't get as cluttered with pieces as Risk can.
Seems like it could be interesting still.
