Everything

As many of you already know, we are big game enthusiasts and each of our employees has their own taste when it comes to games. Some like long, complex strategy games, others like cooperative games, but still for others , dexterity. In any case, we share a great interest in everything related to board games and their culture.

This time the always smiling and friendly colleague Alexander, who has been with Brain Games since the very beginning, has agreed to share his TOP 3 games that he would recommend others to try.

Ricci-Ricci, Circus and Monopoly are board games that I and many of my friends grew up with. Although simple, they attracted us and we could spend long hours playing them. For example, the popularity of the game Richu-Rachu is well characterized by the fact that there is even a song dedicated to this game. Today, a lot has changed, and the board game Catan (Invaders of Catan) has become a classic of this time.

It is good to have a diverse collection of board games. It should have games of different difficulty, duration and mechanics. While we hold serious strategy games in our highest regard, it's always good to have a game that you can learn quickly, take with you, and play with someone as a couple. One such two-player game is Jaipur.

Board games are beautiful with their originality, which manifests itself in nuances. Small elements make simple standard mechanics fresh and original. Imagine a standard worker placement with the addition of a time mechanism that inevitably kills your medieval family. This time a review of Village.

Board games are a great way to slip into another world for a little while, taking on the role of someone else, and it's also a great way to get to know your friends even better by seeing how they act in different situations. In Dead of Winter, you'll find out if you can rely on your instincts when everything is at stake - survival or destruction.

Usually, to start working as a doctor, airport dispatcher or construction worker, you have to study for several years, then practice for a long time to become a real expert in your trade. The board game "Pandemic" provides such an opportunity in a few minutes - open the game box, arrange the game according to the rules, and the adventure can begin.

Cooperative games are a great genre where players don't compete with each other, but try to work together to overcome the mechanics of the game. I've played many different cooperative games, but one of the most serious "beasts" in this genre is the game Robinson Crusoe: Adventures of the Cursed Island. If you find it scary that games make you think you might get bitten on the head by a snake, then this game is not for you.

The 2017 Catan and Carcassonne Championship will be held on March 18 and 19 at the fashion and entertainment center Rīga Plaza. The decisive battles of Catan will be a week later - on 25.03. (location to be specified).
