Yes, Noble Knight stocks block wargames from Columbia Games and other publishers. Block wargames use wooden blocks standing upright (facing the player) to simulate fog of war; opponents can't see unit strengths until combat. Columbia Games pioneered the format with titles like Hammer of the Scots, Richard III, Pacific Victory, EastFront, WestFront, Rommel in the Desert, Bobby Lee, Julius Caesar, and many others. We also carry block games from other publishers, including Worthington Publishing's block game series, VentoNuovo Games' block designs, and historical block games from smaller publishers. Both current releases and out-of-print Columbia Games classics are available. Block games are popular for streamlined gameplay and hidden unit mechanics.
