Another Boardgame Post

The aftershock of my birthday hit us last night, as several of my birthday-money purchases arrived in the mail. Of relevance to the title of this here blog entry, the three board games I ordered from funagain.com showed up, and we played them all. Each one is splendid, and they are all very unique: Lost Cities, Samurai and Torres.

I’d describe them in more detail, but those links are good, and I have to leave.

Bye!

Good board games?

OK, Recommend your favorite board games here in the comments.

When we were on vacation last week, we randomly bought Carcassonne, which turned out to be a famously awesome game.

Inspired by this brief foray into the world of games I never heard of, I ordered two more that come highly regarded: San Juan and Ticket to Ride.

I’m looking specifically for games that are particularly good for 2 people, but you can mention anything you want. I’ll report on the quality of these ones that I ordered, once I see what they’re like.

Lego Star Wars

I thought I’d mention that I picked up the Xbox version of this game last weekend:

LINK: Lego Star Wars

It’s pretty great, and you can play it around little kids. Huzzah!

The best parts are the story cutscenes that “reimagine” key scenes from the movies using Legos. They are a hoot.

Oh, and there’s a PC demo available.
