Blokus is another New Years Eve tradition. Tyler (Blue) won this year with just 4 points left. Tammy (Green) with 8, Jamie (Red) with 11, and Mazie (Yellow) at 21.

Blokus board game near end of play with blue, green, red, and yellow translucent tiles filling most of the white grid.

Every New Years Eve we play Clue and for the first time in memory I won! On my very first turn I guessed Mustard, Knife, Lounge and randomly hit both the weapon and room. I got it down to two people and then had to guess because I thought someone else would get it. 🏆

Clue board game in progress with character tokens on the board, detective notesheet with crossed-off suspects, and Knife and Mrs. Peacock cards face up.

Today’s board game was Settlers of Catan! We messed up the rules more than a few times, and the game took a long time to wrap up, but still liked it. Tyler’s pick. Mazie won.

Settlers of Catan board mid-game on a wood table, with hexagonal terrain tiles, number tokens, and colorful wooden settlements and roads placed across the island.
