Every single time I lose my queen very quickly then the enemy queen just wrecks me. I am not particularly interested in Chess.
I think Spirit Island is close to the pinnacle of board games, I am learning to play Bridge because it's an old people's game, and it was pointed out to me that the best way to find autistic neet gf is to ask her (grand)parents to introduce us.
As for why Bridge instead of whatever other old people's game like bowls: the board game club frequently meets at the Bridge club's hall. Also it's closer to the type of games I actually like. Which is to say, I'm enjoying Bridge for its own sake, so far. Tuesday is the last lesson, when we'll be playing the full ruleset.
