Best board game for 3 players, to make you think, and learn.?

Question

I want some board games that will make us have to think, hopefully learn something, and keep us interested. We are all adults, unfortunately, there is only 3 of us, so teams are impossible. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

If you like word games, scrabble works very well for three players.

Answer 2

Scattagories (not sure if thats how you spell it though)

Boggle

Password

Taboo

Mastermind

Cranium

Answer 3

Scrabble is very good. Quite educational. I suggest that you have a good dictionary on hand to keep everyone honest.

Answer 4

i love paly board games....the most i like is word puzzle...who can make a lot words that his/her won....its very interesting games...and also fun...suitable for all age.....try it i can guarantee its the best one....

Good Luck

Answer 5

Trivial Pursuit...its the best, there's lots of editions so you can pick one that interest you, or just a general one.  Also Scattergories is fun.  Rummikub is also a good one, its like rummy, but with tiles and more challenging.

Answer 6

Go for Scrabble, it's lasted a long time and it's a classic.

Answer 7

monopoly maybe if its for about 1 hour

but the game clue is very interesting

yea

good luck

Answer 8

Ohhhhh, I am such a fan of Parcheesi, it is a great and totally pissing off game. You can block players from advancing, send them home, and get frustrated time and time again.

Answer 9

I think Ingenious is the best game for 3 people.

Chess is the best for 2

Answer 10

I would say these:

Boogle

Monopoly

Scrabble

These are the only I could think about. Sorry! : (

Answer 11

I have several suggestions. I know a wide span of boardgames and these are the ones that I feel are best three player:

Alhambra

Samurai

Caylus, this is a bit heavier than the average game so I think it would be perfect for three adults wanting to learn and think.

Ra, a game about bidding for what you want.

Puerto Rico, the best rated game on Boardgamegeek.com. Though the theme may sound a bit dull (producing and exporting goods from Puerto Rico), its actually a pretty fun game and flows very well with 3 players

Ticket to Ride, a fun train game for all ages. Fun to teach and even the most anti-game people love it.

Carcassonne, a tile laying game fun for everyone.

All these games have reviews and rating available on boardgamegeek.com

Because a lot of these games are not available in normal stores, I'd suggest ordering online.
