There are still too many homes that choose Monopoly as the default family board game. Because they don't know better.

Which game would you advise them to play? As a first introduction to 'proper' board games with a positive experience and balanced dynamic?

@verbeeld Chess is a nice board game because it requires strategic thinking, fosters concentration and patience, and can be played by people of all ages and skill levels. #chess

@fred @verbeeld I think is easier to enjoy as a beginner. Especially if you play on a 9x9 or 13x13 board.

@ives @verbeeld I play both chess and Go, but my proficiency is higher in chess. Although Go has simpler rules, I find it more intricate due to the absence of clear overarching principles. However, I acknowledge that my perception might be influenced by my limited understanding of Go ;) Happy to play online as well... #chess #go
