Hark, people, brave and small!

Castle Combo is a captivating and "challenging" game. I say challenging that way because it really isn't hard but it does make your brain put some work in.

Collect and use gold and keys to make the best group of nine and make it to victory!

GAMES WORKSHOP: MASSIVE RESTOCK IMMINENT!

Friends of the Sentry Box, you may be aware of the mind-shattering amount of product that we carry from Games Workshop. You may not be aware of the massive restock that is coming soon! No product line will be left out, Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, Old World, Kill Team, Middle-Earth SBG, Warcry, Legions Imperialis, Horus Heresy, Necromunda, Blood Bowl, Warhammer Underworlds and the full line of Citadel hobby supplies.

Another must play recommendation from Diana and Chloe!

Play as a Viking travelling and trading across the seas in this beautifully designed game!

Knarr is a 2-4 player resource based game, with beautiful art and a beginner to intermediate difficulty level!

On your turn you have options as to what you'd like to do in order to win the game; will you make your crew big better and stronger OR conquer new lands to expand your empire!

Super quick set up and play, great for when you're bored at home on Sundays with the family.

Another rare acquisition trundles in.

T-34 Mythical Weapon. Michulec & Zientarzewski. 2006. $99.00

Everything you wanted to know about the T-34 and then a wee bit more. Lots more. You like technical line drawings? Serial number lists? Lots and lots of pictures of 'sploded tanks? This is the volume you've longed for.
The author has many spicy opinions and is not adverse to sharing them either. A dry read this ain't.
On line this is going for $100+ USD. This next-to-new book is yours for $99 CAD.

Upstairs in the Historical Department.
