I think that for me, there...I like your analysis! <br /><br />I think that for me, there is one other way to categorize games: by whether or not information is hidden. Chess and checkers, Risk, Settlers of Catan, no information hidden. Clue, nearly all information hidden and your job is to figure it out. Spades, you share information with teammate and hide information from the opposing team. I find it much harder and slightly irritating to play games where all the information is hidden - I always feel like I am missing something, and that surely everyone else has figured things out and I am the last one in the dark.<br /><br />So maybe that's just another variation of "engineers don't like to read people"... :) Glad you are finding some fun new games to play, in any case!Miss Outlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554916486302075437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517241786891592175.post-1399672145885410962012-07-07T08:21:18.853-07:002012-07-07T08:21:18.853-07:00We actually play Ticket to Ride quite a bit as wel...We actually play Ticket to Ride quite a bit as well, I just didn't include it because I figured the majority of the population wouldn't know what it was! I prefer the Europe version, but that's just because I have a fondness for Europe...<br /><br />I'll have to check out the other game - thanks for the recommendation!ChemEGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01181667032260288102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517241786891592175.post-44448278616657599372012-07-06T22:14:17.695-07:002012-07-06T22:14:17.695-07:00A few games you may or may not find interesting:
