I have put together a list of 5 gifts for 12 year old boys that are sure to please the birthday boy. Let's face it, twelve is a tough age to buy birthday presents for. There is always the gift card, but consider something on my list to show you really looked for a special gift. Today I am featuring the first gift on my list, the highly rated strategy game Dominion.

What is Dominion?
Setting: You are the ruler of a idyllic, though small, kingdom of rivers and forests. Unlike your parents, who were rulers before you, you dream of something more. You want a larger and more pleasant land with more people, resources, and power. You want to rule a Dominion of your own!
Small bits of land lie all around you that are home to lesser lords that are constantly bickering and on the verge of war. You want to unite the people of the land and civilize them according to your way of life. Unfortunately, your neighboring rulers have had the exact same dreams of conquest. The race is on to get as much of the available land as possible and see who can reign victorious. In order to accomplish this, you need plenty of people at your beck and call in order to improve your castle, construct needed buildings, and gather as much gold as possible. Live the dream of your forefathers and gain Dominion over the land!
Twelve year old boys (and girls) are usually very into strategy games, whether it is a classic board game like chess, or a game like Dominion. Dominion is a hugely popular game that is enjoyed by a wide range of people. It can be played with 2-4 players and since each hand is different, it can be constantly replayed. It is a great game for a group of kids, or a family to play together. Get him to turn off his phone, computer, or iPad and spend time with friends. The reviews for it are excellent and it is a really popular gift. It has 5 stars on Amazon and almost 1000 reviews!!
