Strategy Board Games
The weekend is almost upon us and i am already thinking of the possibilities. In fact i am arranging a session of strategy board game along with my fellow wannabee nerd friends.
Unfortunately i am not as experienced in board games as i would have liked to be. However with a few loyal buddies this can change.
Ok, what are the options. There is always Risk. Everybody knows Risk and it is a game that is easy to pick up but still has some depth to it. There is also Diplomacy which i love but it is too hardcore for most people. Then there is Acquire which i am always trying to find people to play with. A simple game with great depth but it’s only “flaw” is that nobody knows about it and people are not willing to give it a go. Fingers crossed.
Lastly there is Settlers of Catan. Had not heard about it until the XBLA game. Magnificent. Simple, great depth, great interaction between players. I think this can be the one. On Saturday we are going to buy one and see what happens.
Do you have any other recommendations guys?
