Board games

Here in Dublin I’ve been more “formally” introduced to the world of board games. Back at home, a friend had a copy of Settlers of Catan, and we used to play every now and then, but that was it.

Since I arrived I’ve been attending to weekly “board game nights”, and I’ve had the opportunity to play several more, most of which I liked a lot. I’ve played Agricola, Caylus, and Power Grid, all very nice. I’ve also played Race for the Galaxy, which I didn’t like much at first, but which I’ve come to enjoy a bit more as of lately. (All four are in the top-10 of Board Game Geek.)

I’m going to miss this when I get back, particularly since my friends will most certainly not be up to weekly games. I should investigate to see if some kind of board games club exists in Alicante. If you know of one, or are reading this and would be interested in organizing something, please let me know.

Update (2008-09-24): Since I last posted, I’ve also played Puerto Rico, Imperial, Neuland, and Shadows over Camelot.
