Board game wins

[Jaia]

So every Christmas I give select family and friends boardgames.

The undisputed winners this year....

Splendor - a great game, easy to learn, hard to master. Basically the real plus to this game.. it works with 2, 3 or 4 players.

Patchwork - best two player only game I have found for ages!

Lanterns - this sucker needs four players, but seems to be one of those games you can really enjoy and develop strategies.

Of course.. we still played Settlers of Catan. Still a family staple heh.

I'm a big fan of Splendor! My partner has it on her tablet and phone she likes it so much. My winner for board games currently is Mansions of Madness. It is just absolutely superb.

Not a board game, but if you have young kids try Exploding Kittens. My kids absolutely loved it. It's a card game a little bit like UNO. It was created by the guy who does The Oatmeal comics. Comes in kids version and the NSFW version....try not to mix them up.

Backgammon is my favorite board game.

Its not really a board game, but if you like card games I got a friend of mine the game "Exploding Kittens" and they have been playing it so much. Their kids take it to the youth center and was a big hit. There is an expansion set to it called Imploding Kittens which they seem to enjoy, basically a set of cards to add to the normal set. But they do make a NSFW set

Talisman. One of the best boardgames of all time.

So... got Scythe and Terraforming Mars for Xmas.... really need more boardgaming friends with the patience to play for several hours. Ticket to Ride was much easier to rope in friends to play...

I love the premise of Terraforming Mars though, very close to the reality of what would have to be done to make the planet habitable.

The Firefly board game by Gale Force Nine is quite fun if a little complicated.
