    Have you tried The Mind? It’s a really simple and fast co-op, but we’ve had a lot of fun with it lately. And speaking of co-ops, Gloomhaven has been a great experience. We try a lot of new games,...

    Have you tried The Mind? It’s a really simple and fast co-op, but we’ve had a lot of fun with it lately.
    And speaking of co-ops, Gloomhaven has been a great experience.
    We try a lot of new games, but always return to the classics, like through the ages, twilight struggle, Maria.

    Depending on where you live, there might be groups that have regular encounters in public spaces. It’s the best way to try new games.

    In the last 20 or so years boardgames have seen something of a revival, and are a lot better when compared to classics like monopoly or risk. It’s not as obscure an hobbie as a few years ago, but I think a lot of people would enjoy it if they found out about it.

    I actually interrupted reading the book for a few months because I tried comics for the first time, and found out there’s some really interesting stuff.

    I've read all three, and found it hard to relate to in many parts. I can't decide if it is due to a difference in culture, or if he just writes unrealistic characters. Many of them, and even humanity as a whole, seem to act in ways that go from weird to borderline retarded.

    But still, the books are very unique, and have some very interesting concepts.
