What to play
Submitted by Liam on 9 June 2007 - 12:44pm. General board games
I've been occassionally finding (not often mind you) that I have a spare couple of hours in the evenings. So now I'm looking for a good boardgame to pick up. Given that I run a shop full of games it can be surprisingly hard to find something that grabs you more than everything else grabs you.
So what can people recommend. Nothing too involved and it needs to be playable in 2-3 hours max. 2 or more players and pretty much anything ese goes.
I've played all the staples like Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, Settlers and the expansions, Doom, Risk and most of the Axis & Allies range.
So what can you all recommend?
Played this a few weeks ago and heartily reccomend Thurn and Taxis (a German game):

I'm pretty sure you can get an English version somewhere, but it's a great game. Involving and with lovely, well-made pieces!
You can get it in English yes. We've got a copy of it and its expansion in the shop. Only Rio Grande could make a game about the postal service so great it wins Spiel de Jahre!
