The wife and I played Pandemic this weekend, our first crack at a "non-mainstream" board game.
I played it solo when she was gone in the afternoon to get a feel for the rules and how everything worked. I didn't want her to lose interest if we both started from scratch and it took us forever to figure out how to play.
When we played together in the evening, it started off kind of slow because it's a lot to explain at the beginning. But after we got going, she got into it and enjoyed it. We actually won our first game, and I don't even think we accidentally cheated! We played the easiest setting, w/ only four epidemic cards.
I'm sure we'll play again this week. If neither of us tire of the game, perhaps we've discovered a new hobby.
