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?

I love apples to apples precisely because it stimulates conversation at parties

That isn't one I've come across before!

It's more cards than board game, but it's great. Child suitable, and it's about getting to know how people think, hence the conversation being an essential part of it. It requires 4-10 players, but we have managed with 3.
