Games!

The other day*, me, my wife, and one of our friends were sitting around and we decided to try out some new board games.  We tried Tsuro, Death Angel, and Settlers of Catan (thanks geekandsundry.com!).  Each of them has its merits.  Tsuro is an interesting game about following lines.  It reminds me a lot of that old snake game where you try not to run into the sides or your own "tail."  Not quite the same thing I guess.  Oh well.

Anyway, buy it and play it.

Death Angel is another good one.  The rules are a bit complicated to start with - steep learning curve.  But after one play-through, it's pretty straight forward.  I like the game.  I'd like the original Space Hulk board-game version better, but since that's in limited supply and generally costs more than I want to spend at one time, I'll stick with this.  Buy this, too.  It's definitely worth trying.  And if you get bored, it's also a good solitaire game.

Last was Settlers of Catan.

This was my first time playing Settlers (yeah, late to the party, I know).  I liked this on best.  I think I was frustrating people with my use of the bandit, though.  And the monopoly development card is kind of awesome, too.  My wife pretty much dominated that game, though.  Definitely buy this one and play it.  Multiple times.  You can buy it multiple times, too, but really just play it multiple times.  Lots of fun.

That it all.
