We’ve dabbled in Eurogames like Catan or Ticket to Ride. It’s not a huge collection, to be sure, but in the last few years my wife and I have dipped our toes into several of the biggest genres. Only now, we’re significantly better equipped for such doldrums, because we have games.
#World of card games series
You know, for a few weeks or months.įast forward two years, and we’re still dealing with COVID-19, although the experience has now coalesced into a series of peaks and lulls-periods in which it becomes relatively safer to go abroad, and spikes in which we feel like it’s right back to March of 2020.
If ever we were going to bite the bullet and make that investment in something that we could potentially play together for years, let it be at the start of a viral pandemic where we might be forced to stay inside for a while. Oh sure, we’d obviously played board games before, because who among us didn’t grow up with a ratty old Monopoly or Life board? But I’d always been curious about the more complex modern world of genuinely adult board and card games the sort of boxes that retailed for $60 at hobby shops and represented a seemingly insurmountable investment and learning curve. In those first optimistic days of the COVID-19 pandemic, at a time when talking heads were legitimately suggesting that things might be “back to normal” after a few weeks of relative quarantine to “stop the spread,” my wife and I began a casual exploration of the world of board and card games.
