My Favorite Games…Right Now

Posted by: In: Game Life|Games


I’ll admit that as far as board games go, I’m a late bloomer. I only really started playing games in the last few years (when I met Brian.) Now, of course, I’m an avid player of all types of gaming.

One of my recent favorites is the game Tichu.  We have a review in the can on that one and it should be up soon.  It’s a great game and the only real drawback is the need for four people.  We can always seem to get three or five people together, but rarely the foursome.

Another great game we’ve played lately is Power Struggle.  I like this game for the simple reason that the more corrupt your company, the lower the morale of your workers, the better off you are.  Having worked for companies large and small, it just strikes a chord with me.

The last game that currently finds itself in my current favorites, is one that will most likely always be in that category.  That game is Carcassonne.  Whether playing with two people and just a base set, or have five of us and every expansion we can get our hands on, it’s a great game.  Every time you play it’s a little different, and everyone has a unique strategy.

So what are your favorite games?  Is there anything you would have to have with you on that proverbial desert island?  Let us know in the comments below.
