So, there's been interest in my lunchtime crowd to play some sort of game. I have all sorts of games in my closet. The problem is that these are nongamers. That has its own issue with whether they like certain games or not, of course. That is something to consider. But, I'm more concerned about having food around. Since these are nongamers, they don't fully appreciate that a game can cost at least $40 (or over $100 for games I'm obsessed with). As a result, I'm really wary about introducing games that have cards or game boards. I really don't want to run the risk of ruining one of games, and I especially don't want to ask my co-worker to shell out $50 for a replacement.
So, what to bring?
I've already brought Blokus. I thought this would be perfect, and it is as far as physical components go. I think they're getting bored of it, so I am ready to shelve it and bring it back later.
I had a request for Zombie Dice. I think I will bring that in someday. I need to get some brain tokens, though.
Gobblet is another possibility. Sadly, it only engages two people, but it can be interesting to spectate.
I think all my other games involve cards or boards (of the ruinable variety). What should I consider?
