Decision Games Folio Series
Decision Games announces a new product line, the DG Folio series. The folio game series includes no less than 18 new game titles. Best of all, each game takes only minutes to learn and once one game is played, players can immediately play many more scenarios with the same standard rules. Most folio games have a 17" x 22" map and 80-100 counters and most games take less than 90 minutes to play. The folio games are presented in a folio rather than a box for easy storage. Best of all is their low cost (most are only $19.95); less than half the cost of many boxed games — with even more savings when taking advantage of special bundle pricing offers. [Join Discussion]
