Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.
Rules:
- Play nicely with others here.
- Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
- Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Family was in town and we taught them Cat in the Box and Terraforming Mars. Both were a big hit with an edge to Cat because of the decreased complexity. Haven't played much of TM at 4, usually at 2, and the strategy changes quite a bit!
Big fan of Terraforming Mars. Once you've got an experienced group, I'd try switching over to drafting cards instead of the random draw. It slows the game down a little, but it is an improvement.
Yup, when my wife and I play we draft cards but to speed things up with the new people we wanted to keep the options down.
And we played a little Cascadia which went over well.
