So apparently these are the best board games of all time. I have never played any of them. This isn’t taking away anything from the list but it is more of a reflection on us as Coopers. We hated board games. When we cleaned out our childhood home after mom died, there were still board games in their original wrapping. I have never completed a game of Monopoly. Mom liked to play crokinole but it wasn’t really my cup of tea. Playing crokinole with mom would like playing a friendly game of golf with Tiger Woods. You aren’t going to win a lot if at all. Looking back at life, I don’t think I have ever finished a board game in my life. On the off chance I decide to try something new and purchase a board game, which one should I purchase?

My friends and family love Settlers of Catan. It takes all of the best parts of monopoly and risk, adds some nice twists, and keeps the game around 1-2 hours tops. It’s also a very social game, so you’re not just sitting there scheming the whole time.
Chester and I have been gettiing into board games over the last few years, some really interesting ones from Germany. We like Ticket to Ride, a train building game. Blockus and Santiago are new ones I’ve heard are good. I reccomend shopping at jogocanada.com rather than Dragon’s Den, you can get a bit of deal on the price (although you have to play shipping if you order less than a certain $$). Dragon’s Den usually has some card games on sale at the front for like 10 bucks. We like Bohnanza and Bang. We also love Settlers of Catan.
‘Mr. Trucker’ didn’t make the list. Blondel is going to be super pissed.
I was hoping to see the “best board games of all time” but the link sent me to the best board games of 2005.
My wife and I love to play Rummikub.
