We always get new board games for Christmas and open them before Christmas day so that we can play them during our vacation.

 

Today we opened Ticket to Ride Europe. We love it. Just wanted to share another great game. It is fast paced and unlike games like Settlers of Catan (another family favorite), it can be played in about an hour (and that is with 5 people playing. I would assume that fewer people would mean an even shorter game.)

Thanks for the rec....we have several of the Settler type games....Glad to find something that can be played in an hour. :lol:

 

Oh my, yes! We typically play seafarers w/cities and knights with 6 players.......it takes hours! We love it, but this is a refreshing change of pace. In TTRE, each player can only perform 1 choice/turn. Turns literally last seconds.

We buy a game every Christmas as well and this year, I was way ahead of myself and bought the Lord of the Rings version of Monopoly (we have exhausted two other versions :tongue_smilie:). But I bought it in October, hid it, and my dc accidentally found it looking for something else. :glare: So, I have been in search of another one...this looks perfect, especially since we are studying Middle Ages/Europe right now.

 

Plus, my dd gets bored with Settlers of Catan because it takes too long...

 

Thanks!:001_smile:

8FilltheHeart - Darn you woman! I just ordered that game and paid shipping in order to get it by Christmas. The grandparents are here and will love to play that game with the boys. They are European and Papa loves trains so it's a win-win. And you can play it in 1hr. Did I say that already.

 

I told the boys I'm sorry but I've given up on Axis and Allies. I told the boys they are on their own. :lol: Too many parts for me.

My kids are loving the game and have played it repeatedly today. My 9 yod is holding her own and actually won a game (much to her brother's chagrin!) ;)

 

Hope they like it! :D

We love Carcassonne here too! And we just bought the Kids of Carcassonne for the littles (they get a game on the feast of St. Nicholas), and even the preschoolers have been playing it. (every day!).

 

We also really like banannagrams.

 

 

 

Well here is next Christmas or Birthday! Thanks! On my wish list as I type :001_smile:
