I think the most complex board game I've really played any amount of is Carcasonne (Not particularly complicated). Often, if I'm playing a board game, I prefer it to be on the simpler end, more of a relaxing thing.

One memorable board gaming experience I had was playing Splendor (I believe) with my cousin, and it ended up being almost completely silent, just passing tokens around and the occasional "oh..." when another player did something undesirable.

Pit is also popular in my family when there's a gathering of us, with rounds often lasting only a minute or so, and getting quite frantic, and it is a very simple game



Carcassonne is not very complicated, but when you start adding expansions it can become a bit complicated.


IIRC we only had two expansions. The River and Inns & Cathedrals. I don't think either of them added too much complexity


no, there are also many others.

We call Pit "The Yelling Game". For being over 100 years old, it's elegant, clever, and fun.
