4. Where can I find them?

Typically, family strategy games, especially the imported ones, are
available only through hobby stores (the ones that also sell wargames,
role-playing games and/or collectible card games) and "specialty" game
stores (the ones that also sell traditional games, such as chess,
backgammon and go, as well as more mainstream family games). If you're
looking for a particular game, check the Game Store Database
(boardgamestuff.com/cgi-bin/gamestore.pl) or the manufacturer's Web site
for a retail store near you. (Because I'm writing this FAQ, I get to plug
my favorite: the Old Game Store, Manchester, Vt., 800-818-GAME.) If
there's nothing close by, try one of the following online retailers:

Boulder Games, www.bouldergames.com
Fair Play Games, www.fairplaygames.com
Funagain Games, www.funagain.com

For customers in Canada:

The German Boardgame Co., www.germangames.com

Secondhand games are frequently offered for sale on
rec.games.board.marketplace and through Board Game Geek
(www.boardgamegeek.com). Board Game Geek also allows users to set up
trades with each other.
