I realize that I am just a newbie here at BGG, but I have enjoyed so much of the information, forum, geeklists, etc. that this community site has offered.
I hope I can contribute to the overall fun and enjoyment of this community by creating a fun game that users can enjoy. I very much love typography, so thought I would put my skills to use. I would love to offer GeekGold prizes, but as I don't have much yet (I still need an avatar) that might need to come at a later date.

So to start off 'The Font Name That Game Game' I will post some images with a game font. The first few should not be too challenging, but I will give bonus points if you know the typeface.

Can you name these Games?

Could you also name the fonts too. :)

Good Point.

The fonts for Power Grid are:

Kaufmann Script and a slight varient of DIN 1451 Engschrift
I believe the easy answer you are looking for is Princes of Florence, however, Traders of Genoa (and perhaps others) also look to be the same.

Very Correct, Lord_Prussian.

Princes of Florence uses the typeface Goudy Text Lmbardic Capitals (I have also seen an identical font named Tuscany)

Very good. Tigris and Euphrates it is.

This games uses a unnaturally bolded version of the overused Papyrus. This font must dorn the covers of many, many other games, but T&E was the game I was going for.

I hate this font only after Comic Sans.

This thread gives me a funny feeling in my tummy. I love fonts!
All back-lit and evil-smoking like that guy on the X-Files.

Yes, indeed AnakinOU, it is Blokus. (BTW, thanks for the tip!)

Blokus uses an altered version of Veriex, a typeface by one of my favorite type foundries, Emigre.
