We've been trying a new game - Caylus. It's an interesting boardgame, where you have to build up a town and castle, gathering the most victory points while you do it. It's a cooperative and competitive game - you compete by building up things that other people will want/need to use.
We've tried three times now - the first game, we were just learning, and it got too late. The second time, the wives were busy paying attention to a friend's baby (and with a boardgame set up - heresy!). Last night, we played a game of Puerto Rico first, and it just got too late.
It's a cool game - I just want to see a game go all the way to the end sometime :)
