Little Settlers

We have been on a boardgame kick for the last few weeks.  The girls have really impressed us with their ability to pick up some not so simple games.  We started them on Carcassonne, moved to Settlers of Catan, and this past weekend, all learned together how to play Ticket to Ride.  Branson is a total terror while trying to play the games.  His primary interest is to take whatever is critical to you in your game, and use that in his own side game which usually involves precariously stacking small objects (catan houses or roads, carcassonne meeples, TTR trains) on the table and then roaring and swatting them off and around the table.  Let's just say we often don't start games until he is down for his nap.

In closing I will say this.  Those darn Germans know how to make a mean boardgame!  If you are bored with the run of the mill games of your youth (Candyland = shoot me now!)...make a change.  Go German or go home.
