FT.com / Reportage - Why we still love board games

In a country such as Britain, it is downright odd to pull a board game out of a cupboard and offer to teach it to friends alongside after-dinner coffee

via www.ft.com

Hmph.Tim Harford writes an excellent article on the enduring love of board games, making some telling points about the limitations of monopoly (a game I don't enjoy), and referencing some modern classics. The article has an illustration of 'Carcassonne' - a game I've taught to several people over coffee, and one I enjoy playing on my iPhone. If anyone wants a game, let me know.
