Board games!
As a family, we have found the recent joy of board games again. I have a couple of favourites now, but I'd like to get opinions on other's favourites.
Current favs:
Catan Junior (for playing with my kids)
BattleShip (classic)
Ticket to Ride
Ticket to Ride Europe (lot more strategy)
Munchkin (for the lazy D&D in me)
My all-time favourite is Settlers of Catan! Then I also like playing Monopoly and 30 Seconds. My wife likes playing Rummikub and Clue (or cluedo?) so I'll sometimes play that with her. I also enjoy Risk, but I've played that years ago.
These are my more modern favourites, my 10 year old plays these with us and regularly beats us:
Dominion
Ad Astra
Lord of Waterdeep

My 9 year old asked me "What should I be when I grow up daddy?"
I answered, "Happy".
30 seconds can be a lot of fun, yes. If you like that, also try Balderdash.Originally Posted by FriedPet
I must admit all three these titles are new to me, I will most definitely check them out.
Ah! I forgot about Balderdash! Now that's an awesome game! I've never seen it in any stores though...
We ahve a newish Trivial Pursuit, one that you place bets on whether the person will have his answer right or wrong... lots of fun!!!!
We also have a game called "Cranium", pretty much a combination of drawing, spelling, performing and clay sculpting, to progress ion the board. Aslo MASSIVE fun!
I suggest you check out both of these, kids love Cranium!
We've got one called Activity - also one of those combo games involving drawing, talking and charades. Always good fun.
Settlers of Catan is an awesome game, but I'm enjoying Carcassonne just a little bit more at the moment. There is nothing wrong with having both because they are completely different in every regard, except that both are awesome fun!
When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!
When I was a kid, I loved the Mad Magazine game. Dunno if you can still get it, though.
Also played a lot of Risk. If you think a lego brick can make you swear, step on a Risk piece.
