Board Game Fans?

A friend of mine has got me into some "geeky" gaming that has become a real hit at my house. We've been playing Ticket to Ride and Forbidden Island as a family, while my buddy and I have been playing Ascension, Resident Evil, and Dominion.

Are there any other cool board/card games out there that I should check out? I mean, I've seen the spiel des jahres lists, but I'd love some first hand thoughts on cool games.

Bananagrams is a fun game. It's like scrabble, except way more fun and action packed.

My friend is buying his girlfriend Settlers of Catan for Christmas so I am pretty excited for our weekly board game night in the near future.

Also looked a little more closely at Munchkin Quest...I think I might have to purchase it...Seems to have a lot of the good things that Warhammer Quest had, without the expense.

Although....you can make your own warhammer quest with a little elbow grease.

My friends and I do game night every wednesday night, I think I may have already mentioned that.

Well my friend is getting his girlfriend Settlers of Catan so we have that to play. The 4 of us also did a secret santa, and I got my friends girlfriend, so I bought her Ticket To Ride: Europe Edition.

I'm not sure if it's a dick move to get someone a gift that I'll be using a lot, but I really think she'll like it. I've never played a Ticket To Ride game, but I've only heard great things.

Anyway, I'm stoked that starting this next week we have both Settlers and Ticket to Ride!

I think I need to get your friend's girlfriend a new crock pot because I really like chili!

The weekly game night is a great thing though.

Some games my friends and I play:

Pandemic
Last Day on Earth
Battlestar Galactica
Formula D
Settlers of Catan

All great games, and makes for a nice variety. I've never heard of Ticket to Ride mentioned here - will have to check that out...

I want to check out the Game of Thrones game, but not sure if it's any good...

I once bought my mom a can opener for Christmas because ours stopped working. Huge mistake.
