rhuLast night I met ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mabfan and gnomi at the Card Games night sponsored by Eureka! Games and Puzzles at the Brookline Marriott. It was fun; I learned a few new games.
After half a hand of Quiddler all three of us were hooked. NPL people, if you haven't heard of this (I hadn't), check it out!
Killer Bunnies (no link on their site) felt overly complex to me; however someone told me that there's a more straightforward version called Kinder Bunnies that's a lot of fun (and age-appropriate for a six-year-old). I'll have to look for that.
There was a game whose name I unfortunately didn't catch, and which I can't find on their website, in which the goal is to swap cards until you can build a picture of your particular monster. That looked cool for the kids.
I played a round of cribbage. Ah, the classics.
Back at the store, not only did I buy Quiddler, I also treated myself to Pick Two, which bills itself as The Definitive Crossword Game. A misleading subhead, since definitions are not involved, but it looks like a rapid-play tile-based crossing-words game and, more importantly, it looks like a lot of fun. So that's my reward for Sunday's Times crossword.
