Regular visitors to our site may already know that one of my favorite board games is a WWII game called Memoir ’44. The game we’re reviewing today is also a WWII-themed board game – but it’s cooperative!

Let’s see if V-Commandos is a game that might strike your fancy.

“It’s a me, Mario!”
I wish we could play the catchy Super Mario music to go along with that phrase for you, but you’ll just have to imagine it yourself. That is, if you’re a Mario fan.
And even if you’re not, there’s a good chance your kids are Mario fans. Mario is one of the most recognizable characters in the world! So it’s not surprising to find board games with a Mario theme.
