My family has long been addicted to board games, starting with Candy Land, Scrabble, and Monopoly from when I was a kid and turning into long (and sometimes angry) bouts of Risk, Settlers of Catan, and Ticket to Ride.  We’ve gotten addicted to Sequence, Rummikub, Old Maid, Clue, Spoons (play with care), Operation, Mouse Trap, Jumanji board game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles board game, Spy Alley, Power Grid, and many many others.  As kids, we went through phases of Guess Who?, Hi Ho Cherry-O and Cootie and Yahtzee.  The search for the next best game to play is ever on, and I’m feeling good about Siege Warfare, a new card game a friend is putting together.  Not only is it educational, but sounds fun to play, and is based on the Civil War.  Check out their Kickstarter page if you have a chance.
