My happy place is when I am playing board games. Honestly, is there anything better than getting together with family and friends to have a few drinks and beat them all in your favorite board game? 😉

Settlers of Catan
I discovered this game in college and it truly is the board game MVP. The game even comes with a window cling so you know that it is legitimate. My advice when first playing is to find someone who knows how to play the game or youtube a tutorial. It takes a while to learn the rules, but is possibly the best strategy game I have played!
Codenames
This game is definitely my current favorite. It doesn’t take too long to play and the rules are fairly straightforward. It’s also fun because you are on teams and also comes in several different versions.
Ticket to Ride
If anyone defines themselves as an expert Ticket to Ride player, hit me up! My friends refused to play this game with me because I embarrassingly have been playing against the expert level on my iPhone. I would prefer to play Catan or Codenames over this game, but if you are looking for something different this may just be your ticket. This game also comes in a ton of different versions to keep it interesting!
Otrio
This is pretty much tic-tac-toe on steroids. It’s fun because it is a fast game that still requires a lot of strategic thinking. Just when you think you are about it win, you probably aren’t. Bonus, it looks really pretty and is a great table topper.
