![]() If there's a gamer's store near you-you know, once of those places where a bunch of fragrantly-male adolescents is exclaiming over their Magic cards-see if they offer a game night where you can come and try a game that you're thinking of buying besides the wise preview factor, it's also a fun (free) night out. Also, they're often relatively expensive-but I have never regretted investing in one, since we get so much play out of them. The games are almost always physically lovely, with heavy-duty, beautifully made wooden and cardboard pieces. They tend to be deceptively simple to learn and wildly complex to play, but not always some are so hard to learn that Ben has had to pre-digest the rules for us by sitting with them for hours on end until he's can explain them (I realize that this is a hindrance, but worthwhile). These are serious strategy games, often European in origin, that involve very little luck and very little boring down-time.
