My Board Game List!
If you're coming over for a board game night, just looking for new games to play, or thinking of gifting me a game you might find this list useful. For each game, I list the:
- complexity rating, taken from BoardGameGeek
- number of players I would have fun playing with
- number of players I would have the most fun playing with
I love games that are highly interactive/social, and games that focus on flexibility + adaptation over long-term planning.
