Apples to Apples is a lot of fun!! We like the Settlers of Catan games as well. Our friends have another word game that's a blast, but I can't remember the name. I hope someone posts it here! It has cards and a buzzer and you're trying to get people to guess a word, but can't use the words listed on the card.
ETA: Deb posted it while I was typing. The game is Buzz Word!! (Thanks, Deb!) |

Our favorite is 5ive Straight. It's simple yet can be very strategic and challenging. It says 2-6 players, but we prefer doing the 4 person so there's 2 teams.

When we still had a boardgame period with my friends, we used to love:
- Ticket to Ride (all of them, but Europe is my fave), - Outrage!, - Cluedo, - Scrabble (yes), - most of all - Carcassonne - it's even better if you have more installments, i.e. more cards (you don't have to play the additional rules, we always decide which rules we play and which we ignore). This is my fave and we still play this one. I have never played it, but The Settles of Catan are quite popular with some of my friends, too.

We love Settlers of Catan and Ticket to Ride as well. We used to play board games a lot more often before DH's sister got divorced. That was one thing we did with them a lot. I kinda miss it, even though I don't miss her ex at all.

Yep- Scattergories & Apples to Apples are our stand-bys at family functions. We also love True Colors.
Joel loves Settlers of Catan, but I can't get into it. LOL I put The Logo Game, Name 5, Hedbanz for Adults, and Dicecapades on my list this Christmas. (Although Dicecapades may be a kids' game. I'm not sure. LOL)

We love Ticket to Ride also, though I love the simple America version best.
Settlers is awesome. With the Cities and Knights expansion especially. Although, we got an American edition (newish) and it's my new favorite. We REALLY like it. My newest favorite game is Dominion. It's AWESOME. I'm super addicted and could play it all day. And 2 players can do it, so it's nice we can play with or without friends. Risk 2210 is fun too, much better (and maybe shorter...) than the normal risk. But I know not everyone is a fan or Risk. |

Settlers was waaaay too strategic for me, like I had to use too much of my poor brain, lol.
I LOVE Apples to Apples and Taboo and Cranium Pictionary is always awesome, too! |

Same here. This is why I never played them. When I heard it was a big time strategy, I never even attempted it. The part of my brain responsible for that kind of thinking is poorly lacking. But I enjoy simpler ones like Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne, those are much fun even if I only ever win by chance, not by planning. :-)

I deffo recommend Carcassonne to anyone with interest in board games. It seems like easy and simple at first sight, but it's actually strategic, yet not in an over-the-top way (I dislike games that take hours and hours to finish), and it's always different. Genius really.

Yay games! We love to play games. Our favorites are Carcassone, Settlers of Catan, and Ticket to Ride. We've played Dominion too and it was lots of fun. My BIL owns a game company called Tasty Minstrel. He is waaaaaaaaay into all kinds of strategy board games. We get a new one for Christmas every year from them. Last year we got Eminent Domain and this year we are getting Belfort, which we played at thanksgiving and it was also tons of fun.
