Why nobody plays board games?…

So, first of all, board games are pretty cool!

I’ve been consistently asked questions like, “That game you posted a picture of… It looks cool! What was it?!” or “I had no idea there are so many different games!” by friends. I try to post pictures of the games I play on social media as much as possible because I really want other people to enjoy this engaging and rewarding hobby as much as I do. If you are reading this… so maybe it’s working!

I know, I know… Board games are for kids, right? Board games are just a thing that you break out with your family over the holidays to remind you of the good old days, right? Board games are kind of nerdy, right?

Not at all!

Settlers of Catan is the first of the called “modern games” that is both fun and yet not too complicated. There is a wide range of modern board games out now and EVERYONE has a game out there that they can enjoy. Seriously. Games aren’t just for kids anymore.

Here are some of my favorites:

• Ticket to Ride — Maybe you like trains or geography? Ticket to Ride is a classic. Collect sets of cards to place trains on the board and get points for completing routes.
• Takenoko — If you love Pandas and beautiful board games you have Takenoko. In my opinion, the most good-looking game I have played.
• Pandemic — Do you just want everyone to get along and work together? Pandemic is the answer. Work together as a group to stop four diseases from spreading across the earth
• The Resistence — Maybe you want to play a social game of deduction with all of your friends? The Resistance is perfect for you. Work together to find the spies by trying to deduce who passes and fails each mission. Be careful though, if you are a spy you must make it through without being found out!

I would be more than happy to spend the time to find a game that you will love because to me it is more than just winning or losing, it’s about bringing people together. Seriously, I have different games for each group of friends. And of course, I’d love to help you find that game as well. If not me, find someone, take a chance! You’ll find out why I love board games, and why I know that you will too.
