Eric's Board Games
This is my collection of Board Games that can be played on our gaming nights. Games are rated from 1 to 5 stars, with 5 being the best and 1 being the worst game around. Three stars would indicate a solid, fun game. HNP indicates that I have not played the game yet or it has been soooo long since I played it that I can't remember how to rate the game.
