Board Games!

I may have to go through this thread and seriously look into the suggestions here. I have gotten into it since it's something that the whole family can join in on and honestly my drive for video games has been very weak of late. I still love to play them but have no real want to buy them.

Yeah sometimes it's nice to just step away from a screen for a while. The collector's mentality has been slipping for me as well.
As a suggestion for the thread, I picked up Azul not too long ago and it's a pretty fun quick game. I'd recommend it for anyone not looking for something complicated.

Neat! The visuals for it are really interesting and unique.
I tried out Forbidden Desert with my friends over the weekend (none of us had tried it before then), and we really enjoyed it. We totally got buried in sand and lost, but we felt like we learned a lot from that first playthrough. I liked the quality of all the pieces, too, and would definitely recommend!

That sounds like Forbidden Desert to me! I find we lose more often than win, but when you do win, it really feels earned.
Another game in that same vein is Pandemic. While there are tons of variants now, plus Pandemic Legacy (one of my favorite game experiences in a long time!), the base game is great. Hard won victories.

Yeah, one of the friends has suggested Pandemic in the past, so when I heard Forbidden Desert was kinda similar, I thought I'd pick it up to try. I'm definitely curious about Pandemic!
