If our 10 plays in the last few weeks is any indication, it’s clear that Love Letter: Batman is a hit with our family!
With how often we’re playing it, I don’t know if it will even make it’s way to the game closet. The little bag of cards and tokens just hangs around ready to play any time.
Every time we’ve played Love Letter: Batman we’ve had a great time laughing at how it plays out.

In Dimension, players must build their own pyramid using colored spheres before the timer runs out. It isn’t a race to see who can build their pyramid the fastest.
Instead, the crux of the game is making sure your pyramid complies with the 6 placement rules each round.
It can be a bit tricky. But each round goes by so quickly, it’s easy to play over and over while enjoying one another’s company.

With the kids out of school for two weeks and myself having time off from work during the holidays, it’s a fantastic time for playing board games!
To add to the holiday fun, we’ve had a very white Christmas. Aside from shoveling the driveway and walks many times over the last week, we love having thick blankets of snow everywhere.
The deep snow also makes for a great time to cozy up inside near the fireplace and watch movies and play games. We’ve had our Star Wars run (watching episodes 1-6 over the last month in prep for The Force Awakens last week), as well as a handful of Harry Potter movies. And we’ve had some great laughs playing Just Dance, Mario Party 9, and Rayman Raving Rabbids.
We also took advantage of the fresh snow on some good sledding hills nearby. And of course, we’ve played a bunch of board games.

Now that everyone else in our family has shared their Favorite Board Games, it’s time for me, Dad, to share my favorites.
While everyone else in the family hasn’t updated their list since 2012, I consider my list a bit more frequently.
Last year (Fall of 2014), I posted my Top 100 Best Board Games. However, I didn’t consult that list, nor my 2012 Top 14 Best Board Games, before creating my current Favorites list below. I wanted to think through my favorites completely fresh.

Our next favorite board games list is Brooke’s.
In looking over our video reviews, Brooke has done the most. When there’s a game she loves playing, she’s always quick to ask to do the video review of it.
One thing that was interesting to note in looking over Brooke’s list is that half of the games on her list are also on Mom’s Favorite Board Games list.
But lest you think it’s a case of “like mother, like daughter”, notice that other games on Brooke’s list are ones that mom can’t stand playing.
