I love boardgames!
DH is a "gamer" and has turned me into one.
If you're curious about any game check out boardgamegeek.com - its like boardgames version of disboards

You can search for a game, get a description, pictures, people's reviews.
Some of our great family games are:
Dice town (my current favourite)
Cosmic Cows (like yahtzee turned into a tug-of-war)
Carcasonne (tile laying)
Ticket to Ride
If Wishes were Fishes (cute rubber worms & comedic cartoon fishes)
Pandemic (great cooperative game!)
Citadels
Wyatt Earp (great spin on rummy)
Kill Doctor Lucky (similar to Clue in that you've got a house with lots of rooms, but instead of trying to solve a murder, you're trying to get alone in a room with doctor lucky to kill him, done with much humour!)
