It's no surprise my list is populated with licensed titles.
My “Don't Gift!” list consists only of titles I've personally played this year, but more to the point, they're games that might just appeal to Christmas shoppers at first glance. In truth, most of the games I mention do have an audience who would enjoy them, but I believe the games don't have the universal appeal that would make them a great gift for most.

Now, instead of events happening turn-by-turn, set each piece to move a tiny bit over time. Or picture a real, authentic war room. A square or rectangular table sits in the middle of the room, and what seems like uniformed men playing with infantry, tank, artillery, plane, and/or building-shaped toys. The men push the toys around the table and said toys actually fight it out. Fans of Nintendo’s Wars series may want to picture a real-time, much more realistic (and complicated) version of the game.
