Who else loves board games?

Come on! I know you're out there. This is the post-geek closet world. It's ok to like Star Trek and Star Wars. It's even ok now to like board games based on those two worlds!

I never had anyone to play board games with as a kid, so it's been like a second childhood now that I'm in a house with three people who like games! The kids are old enough to play and my partner is even worse than I am. There is a store in Calgary called "The Sentry Box" where I nearly had a panic attack once I realized I could not take home one of everything.

I have too many to remember, but we have Magic: The Gathering cards, Descent (plus 3 expansions), Merchants and Marauders, scrabble, Settlers of Catan (with the Knights and Cities expansion), Munchkin, D&D…god, I can't even remember what else. We have a shelf in the linen closet for them and it isn't enough room.

One of my favourite card games is Munchkin. The purpose of the game? Be a complete jerk. (Perhaps that's why my teenage step-sons excel at it; they are the perfect age).

So, fess up. What are your favourite games?
