Board Games

I don't mean Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit; I mean proper, geeky boardgames which should be played over a curry and a bottle of wine. Most are German in origin but can easily be found in translation. Some of my favourites include:

• Settlers of Catan
• Power Grid
• Vinci
• Quo Vadis
• Civilization (NOT the computer game version...)
• Puerto Rico
• Dos Rios
• Bohnanza (by the way, I know what weinbrandbohnen and blaubohnen are, if you're interested, although I'd still love to know exactly what saubohnen, gartenbohnen and brechbohnen would be called in English.)
