Is anyone on the list a fan of any of the board games, especially the ones in current release? Comments? Criticisms?, alternate rules?

How many board games are there for Narnia? I saw one Milton Bradley game but that was it...out of about 900 items.

There are actually a bunch. Currently, there are two traditional dedicated Narnia board games. One may be the Milton Bradley one you are referring to. In this game, each player plays one of the Pevinse children, and takes a tour through NArnia in the LWW story sequence. They encounter wolves and the witch on the way, and fight them off with 'Aslan points' collected through a variety of means. This game has a lot of ambiguous rules, so I rewrote tem, sticking to the spirit of the game. They were three times as long!

The other traditional game has just recently bee nreleased by NECA. In this game, each playe runs all four of the Pevinse children (each set color coded) through Narnia. This game has straightforward and clear-cut rules compared to the MB game. It is an intriguing game that can take some interesting twists. Unfortunately, and especially for it's price, the pieces are poorly made, mostly of cardboard. I am going to have to glue the pieces of the ones I have permanently together-- and I don't even have children!

There is a Narnia version of Stratego available as well. I do not have this game, but hope to eventually get it. It is essentially a battle between Aslan's and the White Witch's army.

There are a number of historic board games available as well, and you will see them pop up on EBAY from time to time. Three of them deal with LWW, and one was published as recently as during the heyday of the BBC Narnia series. One other game deals with VDT, and has shown up more than once on EBAY.

Besides those, there is apparently a Narnia card game sold in England, but not here.

I might have seen a Narnia board game,but I just can't remember.... Anyway,I'm not really a "Fan" of board games,but I do love Monopoly. But that came out in The Great Depression. So it's not really a new game ya know? but I had to mention it. It beats all.

well i bought it at christianbook.com along with the pevensies' gifts sets. it was at a good price. on ebay with the shipping and handling it probably wouldve cost me more actually. most of ebays s&h is like 7-10 for it i believe. there i ordered 8 items and only paid 6 bucks for s&h
