Freauxzen had some great suggestions to introduce new people to modern boardgames. I would add:
Splendor
Just One
Mysterium
Wingspan (a touch more advanced)
Some of my favorites lately have been Beyond the Sun, Lost Ruins of Arnak, and Underwater Cities....

Boardgamearena.com is one my favorites. Nice interface and has a good selection of games from family-friendly to heavy strategy. You can play either in real-time or turn-based where you only need to make a couple of moves per day....
Sunday Lunch in Baton rouge
Posted by Charleaux on 9/29/17 at 10:55 am
I'm meeting my parents in Baton Rouge for lunch this Sunday and I was wondering if I could get some recommendations from the Food Board. We're pretty open to any type of cuisine but I'll have my 2 year-old with me so a kids menu or at least a couple of kid-friendly items is preferable. We don't mind...

Lots of great games already mentioned! Splendor is another game that everybody loves and usually want to play again.
Mysterium is a great clue-like game using abstract art as clues. Plays great with 4-7 people....

Lots of great titles mentionned already but definitely check out Splendor. Always a hit when I introduce it to people and still te one my wife requests the most....
re: I love a good board game! What's your favorite?
Posted by Charleaux on 7/14/15 at 9:13 pm
Other than those already mentioned, 7 Wonders and Splendor are the two that hit the table the most lately.
For bigger groups, you can't go wrong with The Resistance or One Night Ultimate Werewolf....

I completely agree with OP. Great series so far and I guess just because there is no sex and no f-bombs like in his previous it's considered young adult :confused:
Highly recommended and I can't wait for the 3rd one to come out....

I was in your situation about 6 months I used meetup (as SG_Geaux linked) to find a nice group. We get up to 20-25 people on Sunday nights which is pretty nice.
For people in Nola that would be interested:

My wife and I received a gift certificate to the restaurant and were thinking of using it this week. Neither of us has been before so we are not sure what to expect.
For those that have been before, any must-have items or dishes to avoid? How's the food/service overall?...

re: Pandemic Board Game

I recently started getting into board games after playing a few of those "gateway" games. Ticket to Ride and Settlers of Catan are two that I've played that are usually mentioned as good gateway games. Both are really good but I can't speak on their expansions.
With that said, I have to agree wit...
