I'd consider myself pretty into board games. My family played them (and card games) regularly when I growing up. And it's now something I do with friends regularly (and still with family). But I have a strong preference for games in this "bridge" category. Games that are interesting and have an element of strategy but
- take 30-90 minutes on average, not hours or days
- have a relatively simple set of rules without too many special cases
I'd suggest that the super complicated/involved are just one niche that some people are into. And much like books or movies, different people are different things.
- vintermann 4y agoI quit BGG years ago over how dysfunctional it was as a forum (acting like a non-profit with fundraisers but actually being for profit, aggravating gamification, hiding "negativity" while promoting praise of themselves to the front page). But looking at their list, it seems it has veered even more away from elegant German style games of the type Catan kicked off, and towards things only a comic book shop nerd could like.
