Gaming

Mary and I are really into Gaming.... Board Gaming that is. We ultimately thank our good friends Kari and Adam for both introducing us to the board gaming world and then being such willing participants in our gaming fun. For about a year and a half we lived across the hall in an apartment complex from Kari and Adam and would put our kids to sleep and then assemble at someone's apartment to play games. It was so much fun and so convenient with kids: a rare mixture as you parents know. We've introduced our families to some of these games and were excited to see how they caught on. We started with Settlers of Catan with Kari and Adam and learned Carcassone (with some fun expansions) from Tim and Mindy.

We then learned Ticket to Ride from a family at Church and then played it religiously (The Europe version) with Kari and Adam when we went to SLC to visit them.

We have since found a family from Church here that is into games and we've gotten together with them on several occasions to play games with them and kept our kids up way too late doing so. We've played all three of the games mentioned above with them and then they got a new game over the Thanksgiving break and now we're hooked. I'm itching to play Alhambra again with them and want the game myself. Feel free to send it. Anyway, if you know of these games and know of other similar ones let me know about them, cause I love this kind of stuff! Other simpler games that we enjoy: Sequence, Mexican Train Dominoes, Greed, "Mormon Bridge", Candyland (Sarah), Trouble (Sarah), and looking for more in all categories.
