[QUOTE="ccs, post: 8162078, member: 6803664"] My cousin got me the JAWS boardgame this year for Christmas. (yes, they made a boardgame based on the 1st movie) So after desert Christmas evening we played that. Out in the car I also had Waterdeep (resource management/worker placement), Horrified (defeat the Universal Monsters before they kill you/too many villagers), and Pandemic (find the cures! wipe out the 4 diseases). So we played those as well. Waterdeep was at the edge of the complexity for the evening/group. Pandemic, though it's a great game, was too "now" for them. Everyone seemed to like Horrified though. Horrified also has figures & a pretty cool looking board.... That we played ANY type of game other than Wii Mario Kart or Wii Golf this year was surprising & IMO an improvement. Oh, and someone got a cheap '80s Pop/Rock Music Trivia card set in their stocking. We decided to write our answers down & play every man for themselves. Boy was that a lopsided game. There were 100 multiple choice questions. My brother & I, being the original MTV generation, missed 6 questions [I]between[/I] us. We were writing answers before ever hearing the choices. My Aunt & Uncle being 15-20 years older got about 50%. My cousins & their spouses, being 10-15 years younger.... :( [/QUOTE]
