The first step to overcoming an addiction...

...is to recognize that you have a problem. There, I said it.

I am addicted to board games!

I guess I've always held a certain fascination with them. There are just so many great aspects! For instance...

1. FREE! Once you buy them of course.
2. Unlike watching movies (which I also thoroughly enjoy), there is actually interaction between people.
3. It's a great way to break the ice and get conversation started with people that you don't know.
4. They never get old. A game is different every time, depending on how things play out and who is playing.

Not really sure why I wanted to write about this, but alas, I wrote. I guess it was because I wanted to share my weekend with everyone, and board games encompassed much of it. I also studied for my math test that is happening in a couple hours. Kind of nervous! Especially since like a ding-dong, I read all of every chapter whereas if I would have reviewed my notes first, I would have seen that only parts of some chapters were necessary. Lesson: READ YOUR NOTES FIRST!

So, what's your favorite way to spend time with people? Or some favorite board games?

My current favorites: Quelf!, Rummikub, Taboo, Catch Phrase, Apples to Appples...

Love,
Brit

Don't know what makes you a bigger nerd - the fact that you're a addicted to board games, or the fact that your wrote a blog about it at 7:30 in the morning.

We used to have family game night every Friday. I wasn't a huge fan of it because dad always wanted to play Hunting & Fishing Trivia, and he always won. Then my grandad used to always school us in Rummikub which is why I dislike that game. And of course you know my feelings towards Monopoly...

I think I'll stick to flag football and H-O-R-S-E ; )
