Audiobooks, podcasts, music, and a Kindle full of books. Plenty of non-electronics time too--- just walking, observing, and clearing my mind. It's nice to have options.
I hiked a bit with someone who brought the game banagrams with her on a through-hike. A little weighty, but she called it her comfort item. It was super fun.
Bananagrams!
oh this is perfect. An excellent exercise.
$100 to buy games on Amazon with a newbie who has specific needs.
Ok so we're looking to minimize card games, adult players, 2+
Blueprints - $30 - I want a dice game in your library and in my head the first game is King of Tokyo which is an excellent game but I don't know how useful it is for two players. Blueprints is easy to learn fun to play and performs well with two players.
-------
At this point I'm about $5 over maybe a little more because i think i rounded down a few. I might have been able to switch a few things to get more games in but I wanted quality games that minimized or compensated for cards. Plus all of these games play 2 or more pretty wel.

Honorable Mentions:
Jaipur - $35 - For a couple I think one of the best beginner games is Jaipur. It's a two player card game with a welcoming theme that's easy to learn and yet when you play it's as difficult as your opponent makes it. The games aren't long so even when you want to try and experiment with headgames you're not investing too much into it.
Looney Pyramids aka IceDice - $9-15 - Now obviously the one to get is the Ice Dice. It's two "stashes" for $15 vs 1 for $10. Ideally you want three stashes and you can play the most excellent "Space Chess" like game Binary Homeworlds
Bananagrams - $15 - Bananagrams is an excellent party game if you have the tablespace. Honestly this is the singular reason I haven't played my copy yet. It's light it's fluffy, it's fun.
Splendor - $30 - Splendor is an excellent game. Nothing feels good as holding the poker chips in this game. It's a nice strategy game with a dash of tactical planning if you want. You could substitute it for Blueprints and still have excellent picks. Very fun quick game. But it is card heavy.
Word ARound - $15 - Now most people probably haven't heard of this charmer. It's cheap, it's probably best as a party game. I happen to like the look of it but no doubt it'll burn out as you become familiar with the words a bit.

Race for the Galaxy
I happen to love that game. If you're ever stuck may I recommend this awesome video tutorial.
Modern Table Gamer
Also don't forget you can play online at BoardGameArena. Some people might be recommending Roll for the Galaxy the new spin off game. I haven't played it yet but I found the Miami Dice episode about it to be very enlightening. Both Tom and Sam speak highly of the game especially in comparison to the original game.
-------
Ticket to Ride
Excellent game I hear for two players you want the Switzerland/India map
-------
Agricola
I think this might be a bit heavy for new players
-------
Eldrich Horror/Castles of Burgundy
While I have played CoB i don't know it well enough to judge it. I didn't have a great time with my play but it was just one time. I hear lovely things about Eldrich especially compared to Arkham.

Off topic, but you should totally get Banangrams.

Bananagrams
bananagrams if you have a flat surface to play on. 20+ questions while hiking is fun sometimes.
My girlfriend and I own and really like Pandemic, Forbidden Island. I recently just got Ticket to Ride, we have played 3 times. She is getting good at it fast, she scored 130 on Christmas when we played with the family.
We both really enjoy Dominion. We tried Eminent domain which I really like but she didn't get it right away which frustrated her, but she wants to try again.
She loves to play Bananagrams.
We also very much enjoy Mr. Jack It is only two player and doesn't take 3+ hours, more around 30 min to play. It has a good amount of strategy.
> What do you have for entertainment?
> According to the FDA, within the first 4 hours our cold food is spoiled. After 12 hours, our freezer food goes bad.
As others have said, this is extremely conservative, based on the worst case for the most vulnerable populations. You might want to toss raw meat (or ideally cook it), but eggs, butter, cheese, orange juice, most leftovers and many other things will be fine for days. If you anticipate power outages, freeze a few 2L bottles to keep the freezer cold longer.
Games are very fun for me, and portable games even more so.
These are also much fun!
ty for the contest, op :)
Hi, thanks for the contest! :D
As I said, already, for the top 10 games you can probably get a good deal online. But, stray from that and the deals aren't as big. My gaming habits tend more towards casual, family and friend style games, which may also make a difference.
Forbidden Island - 16%
Gloom expansion - 15%
Say Anything - 12%
Munchkin - 16%
Tsuro - 19%
MLP Trading Card Game - 9%
Bananagrams - 21%
Scrabble - 15%
Apples to Apples - 0%
Oz Fluxx - 23%
Those are the last 10 games I bought. The biggest percentage is 23%, and that was only a $3 difference. The biggest dollar difference was $5. For differences that small, i'll buy local. It supports the local guy and I get it now, not several days to a week from now.
Also, the reason I don't agree with the original statement is because (as is shown in my personal examples) the online prices aren't that much less for the games I have purchased lately. And, I have never called in to any of the local stores and found that they do not have something in stock that isn't also out of stock online. So, I also disagree with the assertion that they cannot compete for item availability.
Again, I use the bookstore analogy. Sure, I may be able to get a better deal for a book online, but it's not going to stop my from heading to Powells. And, except for the most obscure of titles, i'll probably find a copy of it at Powells.
I keep hearing good things about [Bananagrams] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/1932188126/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=12DLECSTE4XR5&coliid=I287X0KK179HM2).
I have no preference.
Bananagrams is my favorite word game.
