We played enough spades and hearts in law school and undergrad to burn me out on cards. Then my wife decided she wanted to take up duplicate bridge. OUCH!

Played it twice, I think.I've been curious about that game. I know it is more complex, but is it any more challenging?

"I'm nerdy in the extreme and whiter than sour cream, I was in AV club and Glee club and even the chess team . . ." Aaaa, you made me watch that video again. It makes me laugh every time.

Once the complex rules are learned, they become intuitive quickly (I was seventh grade I think when I got it). The game, as I recall, is challenging and based on the known dynamics of Nato vs. Warsaw pact. They used a computer model as well. Tactical nukes are allowable after a certain point but with a stiff penalty as I recall. Logistical lines are needed for supplies. Paratroopers, tanks, artillery, and infantry, and some naval (I think)--mostly land war (Germany/Poland/Denmark). Air power mechanics is streamlined. Nato, of course, is outnumbered but has tactically superior equipment and movement.
I've never found anyone since high school geeky enough to play it again. I'm hoping my daughter will in ten years!
In the past few years I've been introduced to a few really good board games and have grown to really love them. What are some of your favorites? I'm especially interested in finding out which nerdy board games all my brothers and sisters on the PuritanBoard love, seeing as nobody loves nerdy board games like nerdy Christians! Points will be awarded to the person who is into the nerdiest game. I'm a big fan of the Settlers of Catan, Dominion, and a game called Stone Age.

Oh my goodness. The moment I read "Settlers of Catan," I went "Oh no!!". XD My sister has that one (she's an engineer) and she was pestering me for months and months to play that one until I was pretty much forced to on vacation this summer. ~lol~
Watching white and nerdy right now.........about to bust a gut...
You've piqued my interest...check out Twilight Struggle
Here's probably the best review of Twilight Struggle I've seen: Baby, It’s Cold Outside – A Twilight Struggle Review | Dice Hate Me
Judging this category is difficult for Twilight Struggle. Is the game fun? In the traditional sense - where you all sit around and laugh at the misfortune of Johnny Adderall or the silly answer that your Aunt Sally gave in Trivial Pursuit - Twilight Struggle can't even register on the same scale. The game is an entirely different animal; the fun in reenacting the Cold War lies in the experience and the thrill of matching wits with a wily and often devastatingly offensive opponent. Much of the fun comes in the long, detailed analysis in which you and your opponent will engage after the battle is long over. Despite the long conflict and sometimes-fatigue-inducing gameplay, even the most devastating defeat will leave you clamoring for more. That's not addiction, or hubris - that, my friends, is pure, unbridled love for a game and of The Game. Nothing can be more fun than that.
YES!!!Puerto Rico
Agricola is a very good two player game. I also hear the two player variant for Race for the Galaxy is also very good. Pandemic is not that great for two players unless each player operates at least two roles.
YES!!!Puerto Rico
Love that game, you win. LOL.
