I recently discovered my love for social games like cluedo, monopoly, scrabble, saboteur, munchkins etc etc. I live with my friends and it was when we first started playing the card game monopoly deal over dinner and loved it so much that we've started adding more and more games to the house. Don't think games like uno and checkers have a specific genre so I would love to find a better name than gamer or board gamer lol. cheers~
this seriously start trying out some other boardgames, start with some of the classic gateway games like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, or Ticket to Ride, then try some nice meatier stuff like Puerto Rico or Race for the Galaxy check out BoardGameGeek | Gaming Unplugged Since 2000 look around if you have an interest, you will likely find regular groups meeting up for boardgaming... but yes, boardgamer is good, or even tabletop gamer (though in some circles this more means you play pencil and paper RPGs like D&D)
