Catan, Risk and Secret Hitler: trading, conquering and bluffing on game night.
Game night means Catan, Risk or Secret Hitler on the table and a long evening of trading, conquering and lying to my friends' faces. Each one rewards a different skill: negotiation in Catan, long-term strategy in Risk, and pure social deduction in Secret Hitler.

Why I play
Board games put strategy and people in the same room. Every game is a different puzzle, but the best moments are social: the trade that wins Catan, the alliance that collapses in Risk, the reveal at the end of Secret Hitler. They're the best excuse for a long night with friends.
