If you like Settlers of Catan and Carcassone, can you give me some recommendations


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for ideas for games for upcoming Birthdays and then Christmas.

 

Games we have and enjoy

 

Settlers of Catan

Carcassone

Puerto Rico

Thurns and Taxis

 

Ticket to Ride is already on the list that another relative will be purchasing for us.

 

I'm looking for other games with similar appeal and would like suggestions if your family likes the above games.

 

Thanks

There's a bit of a learning curve on these:

Agricola

Tigris and Euphrates

 

Not so complicated to start:

1910 Expansion for Ticket to Ride

Arkham Horror

Small World (and expansion packs)

Bang! (for a crowd)

Lost Cities

my 8yo loves Nexus Ops, Runebound, and Forbidden Island (and Small World)

I love Bohnanza

Shadows over Camelot (co-operative)

Lord of the Rings... the Reiner Knizia one (co-operative)

We love Settlers, Carcassone, and Ticket to Ride. We've got Dominion and Zooloretto on our wish list for Christmas based on recommendations from others. We're also looking at the expansion pack Inns and Cathedrals for Carcassone. It looks pretty fun.

Currently working on going through your list but is Lost Cities the board game or the card version?

 

Thanks

This is the one we have. Here's the Funagain link. It's a handy game to have around, as many don't scale well to two players. We host a Game Day every month, and this has been a welcome addition for those times there are two leftover people waiting to join one of the next "big" games. Odin's Ravens and Babel are also engaging two-player games.

Fun games with kids (some are repeats):

 

Pandemic...very good cooperative

Dominion...if they can shuffle cards, we usually shuffle for the younger kids but that can hold things up

Stone Age...a bit more complicated but fun

Metro

Chateau Rocquefort..for younger kids mostly, mine like to drop each other down the holes

Coloretto..very simple set game

Chinatown...good negotiation and trade game

Bohnanza...love the trading

Blokus

Incan Gold..easy, press-your-luck kind of game

Ubongo...if you like Tetris this is great

10 Days in the USA (or Europe, Asia, Africa)...light geography game, you can also add multiple versions together

Zooloretto..fun zoo game for kids
