Saturday discussion post: board games (72/365)

[white_hart]

We have been watching The Queen's Gambit on Netflix, which is very good even if you know as little about chess as I do.

I don't really like any board games (other than possibly Trivial Pursuit). I never find that they manage to hold my interest, and they tend to stifle other conversation. I know lots of people who really enjoy them, though. So tell me, if you like playing board games, what do you enjoy about them? What kinds do you play? Or are you like me and don't like them?

It is a great game!

Might be worth getting for times when said kid is visiting, esp if you have any tradition of playing games eg at Christmas? It’s small, doesn’t take up much room so easier to have around than big board games, also it plays quickly. There are lots of different packs which are generally combinable, so it’s flexible too. I bought a pack a couple of years ago, brought it into the office and played it there, about three people immediately went out and bought their own for christmas family entertainment :-)
