Wingspan and Seven Wonders are good. Another fun one that's less about resource strategy and more focused on knowing your competitors is Skull.

I second Wingspan! Such a great game.

How much of a board game person is the recipient? I play a LOT of board games and there are varying degrees depending on the person’s interest in games.

A few of my favs:
Wingspan
Splendor (a little easier of a play)
Castles of Burgundy
Jaipur (also easy)

All of the above I listed are also good 2-player games.

A board game called Pitch Deck — a lot of fun!

I second Catan and would put Stone Age as a good alt

Chess

Not a board game—unless there’s a physical version I’m unaware of—but I have been equally addicted and frustrated by Civilization. It’s available on virtually all gaming counsels as well as pc/mac.

Help me menu plan! Having another couple over on Friday for a little birthday celebration, so four people total. Not sure what to make/serve, could be as casual as charcuterie or an all-appetizer meal, or something more composed, plus cocktails. Only requirements are relatively low key to make, and hopefully not crazy expensive.

Want to get the perspective of younger attorneys. We’re a 4-attorney firm (2 partners, one associate, one OC) looking to add a 5th attorney.
