I used to play video games all the time, but they just have the same fun factor for me anymore unless I'm playing with my brother or something. That's how I grew up playing anyways. As for board games, I know A LOT of people who have been playing "Settlers of Catan". I've never looked into much, but people seem to enjoy it.
I've never played Catan, but when I used to play disc golf (in grad school), one of my friends would say, "That's Catan bold" when someone would try a ridiculous shot - because apparently when he played Catan, he played boldly.
Try out this one, it should work: http://www.boiteajeux.net/ In the "Join a game" section you can choose one of the started Agricola games, but there are also other board games I haven' really tried out. Settlers of Catan is also fun to play and was the first of the new generation of board games I've played. I can also recommend it. However ,it is far more simple (at least in my opinion) than the games I recommended earlier, which is why probably not a good position for those of you who are into strategy games. Anyway, it's definitely a good starter to get familiar with the new board games out there. If you haven't tried out any of these and only know the old ones, you might be surprised how many new, great board games (designed for adults) are available now.
haha. I'm still a huge gamer (videogames). But I also love Axis and Allies. Probably one of the most fun, frustrating games
