Solace: Strategy, War, and Glory

One example of this is board games that can be played on your Mac. I'm not talking about Monopoly or Scrabble, which have been around for a few years now. No, this time it's a fresh version of the sort of board game where you strive to take over the world one country at a time, a la Risk or Axis & Allies. The crafty folks at Freeverse Software have published their latest game, Solace, to fill the bill.
