Board Games

What are your favorite board games?

I love board games and game nights with friends and family. My favorite game of all time is Risk, because world domination 😁. Monopoly is a close second and I think it has to do with all the fun extras you can add to it and all the varieties of boards available. Dicecapades! is probably my 3rd favorite as it has lots of dice and it mixes trivia, drawing, word and number play with a dash of some pretty silly physical challenges.

Since the invention of Cards Against Humanity, we haven’t spent much time on board games (1 or 2 then everyone wants to jump to cards). I love that game as well, but miss figuring out a new game and discovering new favorites. There’s an annual local game convention that I’m missing greatly and hope it returns in 2022. If you ever have a chance to go to one, so much fun! In fact…

Today kicks off International Games Week in libraries. You should check out your local library and see if they have any festivities planned!
