Great Board Games to Play When Stuck at Home

by Leave a Comment

Now and then something comes up where you end up stuck inside with the same group of people for an extended period of time. Bad weather, March Break, work layoffs, etc. When the world conspires to make you stay in, there is no better time to break out some board games.

Playing board games can be a great way to pass the time and to take your mind off of whatever it is that has you stuck at home. Also, to me, having a lot of time on your hands means it's the perfect time to get some of the more difficult to get to the table games played. [ READ MORE ]

First up, happy holidays to everyone reading this. I hope this season has been filled with games and gaming.

With 2018 coming to and end I thought this would be a good time to do a look back at the past year. The way the timing works out we will be recording our last podcast of the year on Boxing Day and that episode will release on New Years Day. So I thought this would make for a great discussion topic for that show.
I'm going to be looking at my most played games of 2018. I will follow that up with a list of some of the best new games of 2018 as well as my biggest surprise of 2018. [ READ MORE ]

My wife and I finally had a weekend free and were able to hit up the local FLGS game night on Saturday.

We started off with Azul, then played a two player game of Terra Mystica, and finished off the night with a four-player game of Terraforming Mars. It was nice to get out of the house and get some gaming in again. This was our first time back at The CG Realm since Extra Life. [ READ MORE ]
