Carcassonne
2000 / Tile placement board game / 2-5 players / Germany
*****
With so many intriguing but intimidating board games competing for my precious time and money since I returned to the physical plane, this esteemed contemporary classic was approachably simple and affordable, and it quickly became pretty much my favourite game. Hopefully it'll be a family favourite in the future too. Go on, just one game, you can activate your VR implant after. Even treating it as a multiple-choice linear jigsaw is diverting enough in itself.
