Are you or do you know a gamer? If so, check out this great 2004 Good Gift Game Guide (also featured at (my favorite) The Morning News). It has some really good suggestions. Though the games listed here aren’t your standards like Monopoly and Life. However, they are a welcome change, not to mention great fun and easy to learn. An excellent way to wile away a rainy weekend or Winter’s day. I especially recommend Ticket to Ride.

• Settlers of Catan. There is also a great two-player card game.
• Puerto Rico: initially challenging, but very, very fun.
• Carcassonne: this game is good for all ages.
