Board Games

One new hobby I have recently is playing board games.

No, it ain't "BORED" games, though sometimes it can get a little boring.

One of the reasons why I like playing board games with my friends is because it is like developing a strategy, solving a puzzle or going through an adventure, together (or against each other).

Here are some of the board games which I recently purchased :


Betrayal at the House on the Hill, Settler's of Catan and Pandemic

Allow me to introduce my little buddies to you.

Betrayal at the House is a role-playing game where we are all stuck in this haunted house, and have to explore it. The peak of the game is when one of the players become a "traitor". Each time the storyline is different. On one scenario, the traitor turns into a madman and becomes in command of a group of zombies. The players on the other hand, will have to trap the zombies in special rooms.

Settler's of Catan is a game based on building and trading resources on an island. The fun part of this game is when players start to cry out "wood for sheep! wood for sheep! give me the baa baa black sheep please!".

Pandemic is a game where all the players have to team up together to "eradicate" diseases. I guess this really is a WHO game, where outbreaks occur at various cities, and your task is to fly all over the world, trying to cure the disease.

Another 2 board games I have is Bang! and Saboteur. Both really fun, having an element of "Trust me i am your friend!" and later on "Haha, gotcha!".
