What a year for games!
In 2012 we played a ton of different board games, card games, dice games, and party games – 128 to be exact!

Posting the Top Board Games lists for each member of our family these last few weeks has kept me thinking about which board games, card games, and party games I’d include on my list.
The hardest part for me is narrowing down the list because I love playing so many games. I love the social interaction, the thinking, the strategizing, the cool themes, the variety of game mechanics, and the twists of luck. So for me, the best board game will always come down to “it depends”.
