“I’m so bored with these games that we play, I guess that’s why they call them board games.”

Never mind the title, it has nothing to do with the actual post, I just think it’s a funny little pun from a “Love the way you lie” parody I once saw {LINK}. 

I love board games – playing them, collecting them, forcing people who really don’t enjoy board games to play with me, nag until they finally agree… So imagine my joy when a local board game shop announced an awesome sale on their Facebook page {LINK}: second hand board games for only 4€ a piece (except “Hundimäng”, that one cost 7€)! The board game geek in me is doing a weird little happy-dance 🙂

1. Bluff – I haven’t really gotten acquainted with the rules yet, but they say it’s a game of lying and screwing people over to win! My favorite kind of game…
2. Kelgukoerad – It’s a mystery game, themed after a local TV-show. It’s about solving crimes, I imagine. Haven’t tried, but sure am excited to! It came with two expansions so there’s lots of mysteries to solve 🙂
3. Battleship – Probably doesn’t need a closer introduction. I just love it because I always manage to beat people at it with my very special strategies. Nothing feeds my overgrown ego more than winning.
4. Hundimäng – It’s pretty much a game of Mafia meant to be played by 8-17 people. Hidden identities, role playing, figuring out who the bad guy is… but with a cool twist!  Totally going to annoy the crap out of my friends until they play with me this weekend!
5. Touché – My favorite board game in the world is Rummy, so Touché, I imagine, will be a solid second. I haven’t played it yet, but by what I know about it, I know I’ll be a fan 🙂
