Playing board games and card games is a wonderful diversion. And there is a perfect game out there for just about everyone. Whether you enjoy party games, mystery games, designer games, or wargames, you have plenty of choices.
Must-Have Games
Some games you cannot be without. Although this list is different for every gamer, my picks include a variety of game genres (abstract, party, trivia, word, strategy, etc.) and games that can be played over and over without growing stale. Party Games
The goal of party games is to have a good time. Social interaction is emphasized over strategy and tactics; and the success of a game is measured more by how much you laugh than how well you do. These games should have you in stitches. If you enjoy trivia, there are also plenty of choices for you.
Designer Games (aka German Games)
This relatively new segment of the gaming world has caught on like wildfire in many circles. These elements mark the best of the genre: relatively simple rules, deep strategy, excellent replay value, and appeal to both hardcore gamers and casual gamers.
Light Wargames
If you enjoy games about combat, but don't want to spend an entire weekend recreating all the intricacies of a particular battle, this is the kind of game for you. And if you've never played war games but think you might be interested, start here.
Award-Winning Games
Several boardgame awards are presented each year, honoring the best of the best among new games. Buying games that have won prestigious awards can help you ensure that you buy games that are also great fun.
