The title says it - this game is a classic! Players move from room to room in a mansion to solve the mystery of: who done it, with what, and where?
￥310.40
Yes, this is technically a Dungeons and Dragons board game, but there is no need to bust out your cape and use a different voice (unless you really want to). You only have eight rounds (about an hour) to collect treasure, complete quests, and rule over all.

Lying, and bribing, and smuggling — oh my! Played with up to four people, you have to try to sneak your contraband into the city past the sheriff, who switches to a new player each round.

Because you don’t live under a rock, I know you’ve at least heard of this classic civilization-building strategy game. If you haven’t played it yet, now is the time to start.
￥228.50
Pair up different factions to take over bases, then the world! With 20 different faction decks all with different gameplay powers, the game is different each time you play (unsolicited advice: Always pick wizards and bears — trust me).

Another great game if you don’t have all day. Appease the emperor by taking care of his bamboo garden while completing your objectives (seven to nine depending on the number of players). Also, giant pandas.
