Board Games
Given the time of year a post about board games seemed apt. We’ve been getting in board games more recently. Both the childhood classics (Scrabble, Monopoly, Cluedo etc.) and some of the geekier ones. Not that we’re that good at finding time to play them, but we keep thinking we should.
Two player games are at times hard to find, there’s a few around but it depends on what they’ve been designed for as to how good they play. Games for more people shrunk down do not seem as good as games for one/two scaled up. Add to that that it tends to be Cooperative games that we most enjoy, especially if they are designed with a couple for people in mind.
The latest acquisition that we’re enjoying is Assembly by Wren Games, a 1 to 2 player coop puzzling game. We’ve not played it too much, but it seems good so far. There’s also expansions/extensions that will add to the re-playability. Wren Games also have another game out, and more in the pipeline, all of which look interesting.
Any recommendation for games most welcome. There’s a few that sound like they might be worth trying:
- Pandemic
- Forbidden … (We have island, but there’s more)
- Gloomhaven
