I used to play a ton of board games growing up as my dad was an avid wargamer and board game player. Played lots of Avalon Hill games amongst others.

Finally got back into playing in a big way after 30 years of video gaming killed the hobby for me. The ipad brought me back. Playing Ticket to Ride peaked my interest and I ended up buying the whole series which the family all love.

I've gone a little nuts since Christmas and have picked up multiple games.

Really enjoyed playing Airlines Europe, Alhambra, Dominion and Dom Seaside, TTR, Pandemic, Flashpoint, Thurn & Taxis, St. Petersburg, For Sale and others.

Got to play Alhambra for the first time tonight. Fun easy game that my daughter (8 yrs) really enjoyed. picked up the Big Box version so there seems like lots more to it once we have the base game down.

Don't know why I quit playing as its just an awesome thing to do with my family. It helps that three of my kids are old enough to play now but even my wife will play, and enjoy, TTR

Nice to see a thread on CP about them too...
