Happy 2024!!!
We have a pile of new board games - I am so excited.
The other day, C and I played our new grown-up version of Sequence. We've been using the kid version that someone (grandparents?) got us years and years ago - that's been very popular with all the kids. The new Sequence game was fantastic. C won. She gets pretty intense and competitive with games.
During the break (we went to Callicoon, NY for a few days with friends), the kids played Settlers of Catan that their friends brought along. They all loved it!!! (We may have to get it...) We also played Taboo for a bit - that was fun. I love that game! My husband and H were getting into a groove there, with him providing clues and H being quick as lightning. C and I were trailing behind.
We looked at our brand-new Trivia Pursuit game. We didn't actually play it, but C pulled our a few cards and was quizzing the grown-ups. I am terrible at this game. But I was able to answer a question about Kazuo Ishiguro's "The Remains of the Day", so I was very proud of myself. Reading pays off.
There is also my husband's Hero Quest (probably from the 90's?) that the grandparents gave us. It is complicated and takes a while to learn. We did one quest so far - it took us about a week (we had to take long breaks because people were getting upset) - but everyone wants to try another quest. Perhaps on a long rainy weekend...
What are your favorite board games?

I do not like board games. I wish I did. When the kids are a bit older, maybe we can play some. But for now, we stick to drawing and play dough. Well, and cars, of course, always cars :) for my little guy.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, playdough - my kids used to love it :)
