The game that never gets boring


If you have ever played this game, you love it. Don't deny it, there is some part of you that loves that childish ideal in your mind, that you can keep your balance and knock everyone else over. The only problem I have ever heard people have with this game, is people invading their personal bubbles and what I say to that, Get over it.

Left food Green, Right Hand Red, man, just riding this out has brought a smile to my face. This game is timeless. It is simple and I love it. Enough Said.

This game has just about anything in it.


I just played this game last weekend and I was blown away with how many activities are involved in it. I know I have played this game in the past but really this game has just about everything. One of the best party games ever, in my opinion.

There are events with everything in them: Drawing, Wordplays, Trivia, Acting, Sculpting, etc. And they have done a really good job of keep the game short enough that people don't lose their attention span like you sometimes do in a game like Monopoly. Pull this game out of the closet and give it another shot, I am glad that I did.

Who said that learning wasn't fun


There are few games that I enjoy as much as the game of Scrabble. It is not that I am a great speller or in Mensa, it is just is a pretty fun game. And who would have thought I would be saying this because I loathed school so much as a child.

Scrabble never gets boring for the fact that you have a random group and an infinite amount of possible way the game could turn out because of what the other players lay down. The best thing is that my mind starts organizing words out after I play it and it makes me feel more intelligent.

"Ms. Scarlet in the dinning room with the wrench" ahh, Clue I love you!


There are few older games that as beloved as the detective game of Clue. Though the rules are quite simple, everyone enjoys discovering the mystery of who is the killer and how it was done. This game was even so loved that they created a hilarious movie about it.

I have recently bought this fancier version that brings a little more class to the game. If you haven't sat down and played Clue in a while, take the time. The classics never get old.

Cosmic Fun!!

Now if you want a great game that every time you play it has the chance to be completely different game, then this is the game you want. Cosmic Encounters has become one of the most enjoyable and avidly played in my library.

The basis of the game is to conquer your opponents planets and not lose too many of yours. What makes it so much fun is that each race has powers (like stealing as many cards you can without getting caught) and this is where the hilarity begins.

Power Grid... Legendary game

Now because I have bought some many games over the years, I usually don't just get stuck one and play it over and over. Well, over the New Year holiday, my family got Power Grid and no other game was played.

In the traditional German style of Board game like "Ticket to Ride" the game has simple rules but the real strategy is how you play against other players. There are several ways to make sure the advantage is on your side. My family could not get enough of this game, I think we played this game two or three times a day. Don't take my word for it, buy this game and you won't regret it.

Munchkin ... it's all about stabbing your friend in the back

If you want to have a great time, get a few friends together and crack open a game of Munchkin and watch the hilarity ensue! I love this game, it is not the most complex game ever so don't worry. You pretty much want take advantage of your friends and hold them down will you make a beeline for the goal line.

It is great card that you can play anywhere and there are so many expansions to the original game that the game never has to end. This game is getting such a following that in most board game stores, there is a set apart Munchkin area. It is well worth the price, I promise you.
