WTF happened to board games? You need like an Engineering degree to play some of these and by the time you go through all of the rules I've already either tried killing myself or gotten so hammered that no explanation of the veritable cornucopia of rules is going to help.
Board games seem to have gotten expensive too. Something like Catan is $75 and then you start adding on expansion packs like the option to play with 6 people for another $75. It doesn't take long to be invested well into the hundreds of dollars on a single game. The only good thing is that some of the popular games are almost "investment" level right now and it is easy to sell used games at little to no loss (but who knows when that market might crash.)
