As far as popular games go, you really can’t look past Endeavor and the Dominion games. They’re really popular at the moment, and deservedly so. Endeavor is a Kiwi-designed game that is sitting comfortably inside the top 50 on BoardGameGeek.com, and Dominion is the 2009 Spiel des Jahres award winner – the pinnacle in board gaming achievement.

Our family really likes playing board games. As psychologist, I always like to remind them about a research study once done on serial killers in prison. They were given a very extensive series of questions trying to find out if anything in particular gave clues about what in someone’s past might produce a serial killer. (questions covered a lot of areas including past abuse, alcoholism, etc) The only thing serial killers had in common was that they didn’t play board games as children. So whenever we play I like to joke around that it is “serial killer prevention” activity.
Hi Carmen. I love your psychology! The beauty of board gaming is also in being able to assume imaginary roles. Take the Pandemic: On The Brink expansion, for example – you won’t be a serial killer, but at least you get to play a bio-terrorist!
Bio-terrorism is fun … on a purely gaming level of course.
