[QUOTE="Nagol, post: 7649624, member: 23935"] I have a question and its pretty basic. My spouse has never really played games. Any game, really. Oh, she knows chess rules and backgammon and has played Crazy-8's and UNO a bit , but that's where it stops. She hasn't even played Monopoly with house rules added to make it take forever! She's open to trying a couple of board games -- they obviously don't need to be new per se, the whole universe of boardgames will be new to her. She just wants simple low-rule games. Trying to play cribbage ended because there were too many rules/things to consider. I have a few Cheap-ass(tm) games (Kill Dr. Lucky, Zombie Train Robbery, and maybe a couple of others) kicking around. I picked up [I]Lords of Waterdeep[/I] based on the "beginner-friendly" reviews, but the rule set was too heavy. Any suggestions for a 2 to 4 person game that can be played in a couple of hours with very light rulesets? Something for a dinner party with wine? [/QUOTE]
