I've just published a Christmas boardgame on RatherFun.com which is especially for Christmas and very cheap! Do have a look and if you have any questions you can email me with the email address RatherFun supply on my author pages. The reason it's so cheap is that you can download it and print it yourself... perhaps this is the future of boardgames in the long-run as printers get better.

Good stuff, FHL! Perhaps I should give Race for the Galaxy another shot one of these days:)

Anthony,

Glad I could help. Good luck and let me know how any of them go over when you play them. I always love to hear how it goes. Thanks!

a little update: we played Race for the Galaxy 3 times this weekend. If you like Puerto Rico, and want a little different challenge, this is a good one. I guess it’s more like San Juan in that it’s completely card-based.

Lots of fun – we played it twice with 3 players, once with two.

Our only complaint? It’s over too quickly! =) (Easily taken care of with a slight rules modification)

Good to have a simple list of games and description of them. Its always too manic in the shops at this time of year to be able to look at the games and read the boxes!
Thanks

Wow, didn’t realize how popular Liar’s Dice already is. That’s great! Now you’re ready for a few others>:)

FHL,
This isn’t really a “top 12″ list. Just a list of recommendations for holiday shoppers that I hope will be useful and maybe generate some buzz and conversation. I’m very good about “top” lists as I always have to caveat with “well that depends on…”

Dominic,

Thank YOU for visiting my humble post! Those are certainly far and away my favorite party games. Very nice to make your acquaintance, keep up the stellar work and let me know if there anything I can somehow do to help in your endeavors;)

Great post and excellent timing! This post will really be helpful in looking for potential Christmas presents.

Years ago, my wife and I received a version of Liar’s Dice as a gift. It’s called “Perudo.” It’s our go-to game for social occasions. It’s a blast.

Great list! Like others who have commented, I love Liar's Dice. There are many other great dice games too. There's Wildlife Rescue, Chess Dice, and Inn Fighting and Cookie Fu to name a few. Thanks for sharing and I hope you enjoy the holidays.

Bret!

Wow, our two games are at the top of this list!!! That makes me very happy. I’m glad you like them. It’s nice to know that our hard work is being appreciated.

Wits & Wagers has won over 20 awards. I think Say Anything is at 17 or 18. Both games are doing well beyond our expectations.

Cheers!
