Board Games & Card Games

Country Hearth B&B is itself a board game and card game destination. We have more than 200 board games available for you to play during your stay as well as standard bridge, pinochle and poker decks for guests who prefer a game of cards. You can play in one of our common rooms or take them up to your room. We recently played through two campaign games, Clank! Legacy and Eila and Something Shiny. Standalone games that we’ve played this year include Mariposas (butterfly migration), Dutch Blitz (Amish country-themed, fast-paced multiplayer solitaire), Bang! (Old West themed hidden roles elimination game), and Azul (colorful and clever tile placement). Our collection of two-player games includes Sky Team (cooperate to land a plane with increasingly difficult scenarios), Patchwork Express (collect pieces to complete your quilt), and Jaipur (manage your camels and your goods to be the more successful merchant). Many of our games offer a solo variant, but Maiden’s Quest deserves special note as it puts solo play first with an optional 2-player co-op or competitive variant. We also have a book of solo card game rules if you’re looking for a new version of Solitaire.

For conventions, check out Save Against Fear (York, PA; 45-minute drive), Mepacon (Bethlehem, PA; 1½-hour drive), or the anime con Zenkaikon (Lancaster, PA; 30-minute drive).
