I do, however, like Cranium games such as Cadoo, and many, many, MANY more. The last time we tried one on someone under 5, (my then 4 year old cousin) she didn't like it. But of course, she's more impatient than I am!DragonButt3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32686050.post-33362978833656830282007-10-29T22:08:00.000-05:002007-10-29T22:08:00.000-05:00Oh, those are great!

Wise and Othewise is a staple at our house, as actually is D&D (and I only started playing in my 20s! Hecause I'm a girl. I didn't even know about it in high school. Yeesh.) We'll have to check out those other ones you mention - many are new to my ears, though BGG is a great site I've visited before.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05098748299031184803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32686050.post-77281754373950316532007-02-05T22:44:00.000-06:002007-02-05T22:44:00.000-06:00Once Upon a TIme by Atlas Games is the best card g...Once Upon a TIme by Atlas Games is the best card game I've ever played. Ever. It does take the right crowd though. It is a free style story telling game where you are only lightly cued by the cards in hand. It is also easy to break the intent of the game and force a win quickly and simply, so not for type A personalities who are too far down the competitive side.<br /><br />I have to second Settlers of Catan, though I haven't bought my own copy yet.<br /><br />Then there is Dungeon Twister, which is much more interesting as a name with out context, but is still a fun game. It is sort of like a 2 player 30 minute version of hero quest. <br /><br />Cathedral is another one of those spatial games, and pretty fun for a 2d tile placement game.<br /><br />Acquire is a tile game too but it plays out on the z axis as well as the x and y. <br /><br />As for places to buy games, I have been buying from Thoughthammer.com recently. They have decent prices and a set 8 dollar ground shipping until you break 125 dollars where it becomes free.<br /><br />I love the Game Preserve in Bloomington.Michael Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926937158452518195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32686050.post-30184770326271585342006-12-13T08:42:00.000-06:002006-12-13T08:42:00.000-06:00I really enjoy the lists at BGG, and I want to men...I really enjoy the lists at BGG, and I want to mention that I've made a few purchases from cardhaus.com, a retail site that advertises on BGG. I've been happy with all my shipments, and the prices are usually lower than amazon.com.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32686050.post-20613484567499479402006-12-11T23:16:00.000-06:002006-12-11T23:16:00.000-06:00I'll second Carcassone.

Anyone who likes it would probably also like Settlers of Catan -- a bit more strategy/complexity, but very fun for a small group.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
