Well met! I consider board games to be amongst the best activities for engaging a group of people. They can be social, intellectual, creative, serious, and silly. A fun exercise is to try and come up with variants of your favorite board games. To this end, I am in the habit of hosting board game parties on a regular basis. You can see some of my party invitations and ideas here. What happens when you take two (or more) standard board games and try to merge them together?

Obviously, you get a hybrid board game!

I have invented numerous hybrid games over the years. Of particular note are Chutes and Ladders Carcassonne (it's non-euclidean!) and the Hybrid SET Theorem.

• Chutes and Ladders Carcassonne
• The Hybrid SET Theorem (also, games involving SET)
• Scrabble Fluxx

Host your own Hybrid Board Games Party.
