I guess most of you know both games I bought today.

First was Guillotine, I knew this game from before and it is produced by WotC... It is fun...
Anyway I am still a bit fascinated by the second one, that I did not know about and that's "Gloom". That game is freaking awesome... I laughed so much during first game.. And I am sure I will in next game as well...

Those who know the game will agree with me for sure and those who do not, go to buy or at least try it....:)

It is really hillarious... To make it short, you control 5 members of one family and your goal is to make them suffer and torture them to death, earning negative points by that... The one who will kill his/ her family first ends the game. Player with least points on his/ her dead family members wins...;)

My wife and I have been playing a lot of board games/card games lately. We'll have to give these a try.

The flux series have been fun. Also dominion series is a little more advanced. And munchkin is ok.

My wife picked that Gloom game from the shelf in the bookshop actually... You should definitely try those games... They are great both of them...;)

adventus

A few that I like in no particular order:

Jambo
7 Wonders
Dixit
Race for the Galaxy
Eminent Domain
Lost Cities
Biblios
Venture
Innovation
San Juan

Yes I highly recommend dominion. I also suggest getting sleeves that fit, as ther are some cards you use every game and they will start to wear before 90% of the rest of the cards.
Perfect for 2-4 players. Games with more than two are usually better too.

Another one I really enjoy is Citadells.
A fast paced (once you learn it) game for between 4-8 people.
Again the more people, the better. I believe you can play with two but the setup is quite different, and it's not as fun.

Dominion is fun and also that game called...what was it? adventus has a pic from one of the cards for his avatar but I forget what it's called.

Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer.

It's available as physical cards and as an iOS game.  Both are awesome.

If anyone wants to play, my game center ID is adventus1.

If talking about boardgames then definitely the best in my opinion are Setlers of Catan...;)

I am always about to win, and then somebody turns over a bunch of victory points and I lose lol. Maybe I should just stop choosing orange, I think it's cursed.

I play always blue or green... You know calm and not agressive colours...:D

A different kind of card game that what's being talked about, but I got my first taste of "Cards Against Humanity" on Saturday night. It was a riot. It's basically the adult (17+) version of apples to apples.
