Dad and Hugh both got given bunches of board games for Christmas.  We came back up from Kent yesterday, and I said bye to Hugh and Meredith at 8-ish.  I was then back over at his today to play more boardgames.  And then I came home and Susan/a_pawson came over, bringing board games with them...  I have, thereore, over the last week played vast amounts of games including:

Settlers of Catan, Caylus, Puerto Rico, Carcassone, Bausack (which is not actually a board game, but more like Jenga in reverse, with bidding), Fluxx and World of Warcraft (which was much better than I expected and very good fun - usually board games of other media are terrible cash-ins).

I look forward to getting a few more games in here and there before work starts again on the 3rd...

It's been years since I've played board games. I don't think they come out with new ones much anymore, now that everyone (or at least most people) have computers. I envy you and your friends. No one around here plays board games anymore. I miss them!

Settlers is now 10 years old, but Carcassonne was brought out in 2001 and Caylus is new this year. There are still board games coming out - the Germans are very big on them - but finding people can be harder than finding the games themselves.
