Some funnehs, and I whole heartedly agree with all of them. Gives me an idea for my next blog entry.
I like how they *propose* ALTERNATIVE games to those BORING top 6 games. Thanks for sharing that article with the BGDF community!
I was expecting an article about how board games are bad, but what I got was brilliant.
I love how he goes right into explaining why those particular games are boring and what's so bad about them, and then straight into suggesting a great board game to play instead.
I hope a lot of people read it and realise that boardgames are fun, just not the ones that have been around for 20+ years that are bought at Targets.
Yes snakes and ladder is boring, but I have heard from parents that it's a game they use to teach kids how to understand the concept of taking your turn and playing 1 player at a time. It also give a chance to kids to defeat their parents which is very rewarding for them. So it's more a teaching game.
Still, I would rather play "that's life" instead which is also roll and move but has a touch of strategy.
I rather not do this, I'll end up listing 50% of the games on BGG. (^_^)
Thought this Cracked Article was a GOOD read for people looking to play more interesting games...
