Our normal New Year's Eve, which normally sees a few games played, really didn't happen this year. Instead, the year passed with great conversation. I hope you got in a few more games than we did.
Over the holidays, our family received two games. My son received 7 Wonders, which I already have. While he is only 15, he is starting to collect the games he plans to take to college. He actually has a pretty good collection started, and will take quite a few great games with him.
I received The Castles of Burgundy, which is a little more complex than the majority of my games. We may play that in the gaming group in March, but probably not sooner than that. It supposedly excels as just a two-player game, so that I may get to play it sooner.
Hope everyone has a great year.
It's Your Move!
What I am doing when I am not doing what's expected of me - a blog for family and casual gaming. I firmly believe all games are educational games in some manner. Board games create friendships, build families and teach social skills. This site is dedicated to helping families and friends find great family games and casual games to play.
zwischenzug (ZVI-shen-tsoog) — noun
A chess tactic in which a player, instead of playing the expected move, first interpolates another move, changing the situation to the player's advantage (such as gaining material or avoiding what would otherwise be a strong continuation for the opponent).
