I'm after a fun game that the missus and I can play; thats fairly simple (or something we can learn together), good fun, competitive, has loads of replayability and not aimed at 5 year olds (unless it really is that fun!).
I really enjoy chess but as she is a novice it doesnt work out.
Can be board game, card game, whatever! (number and word games arn't my strong point and she would totally kill me at those)
Any ideas? |

Boggle is good if she's a reader. "Set" and Dominoes are good if she's more symbol-oriented. There's a board game called "Ticket to Ride" which is pretty fun for all types of people. Go to a game shop and look for the games that have won the "Spiel des Jahres" award, that's pretty much a guarantee that it will be a good game yet not too intense. |

failing that you could always give buckeroo a go. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
