Tell Us Dammit: Board Games

Here’s something that continually surprises me at PAX: the amount of people who attend the show purely to play board games with their buddies. It’s insane. This is a massively growing thing in gaming culture so I wanted to ask you all about it: have you recently gotten into board games? What games are you playing?

For me personally, board games are something I play sporadically with friends. And I don’t really play many ‘hardcore’ board games. It’s mostly things like Balderdash or Scrabble — party games. Occasionally we’ll play something like Settlers of Catan, but I’m not into card games like Magic or Netrunner.

But that doesn’t mean I’m not interested. Maybe I could be convinced. What board games do you play? What board games do you recommend?
