- Boardgamer
The Boardgamer was a magazine founded by Bruce Monnin after
Avalon Hill was bought out byHasbro and the future of their games was in doubt. The intention was to continue support for Avalon Hill products in the same way "The General" had, as well as (according to Monnin in issue 46 of "Operations Magazine "), any games contested at the World Boardgaming Championships."The Boardgamer" never achieved high circulation and boasted only 200 subscribers although it did manage to survive for nine years. The magazine also lacked color and professional graphics. Monnin went on to become editor of "Operations" beginning with the Fall 2004 edition (issue 46). The stated aim of
Multi-Man Publishing was to have "Operations" be to their line of games what "The General" was to Avalon Hill's line of products.
