“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 🙂
