Hello everyone, in today's episode I talk about board games. The most recent one I played is called Machi Koro 2--an easy, fun board game where you build establishments,  earn returns, and build 3 landmarks to win. 

In this day and age, board games may sound boring compared to our smartphones, computers and other forms of multi-media entertainment. Yet board games have its unique merits. First, it's very engaging since you need to actively think about your moves as well as other players'. And more importantly, you can have a wonderful time with your friends and family without the distraction of things like your phones.

Thank you for listening to 5 Minute Chinese. If you like the show, kindly take a second to rate and share the show so that it can help more people. I appreciate your support. See you next time!

最近我接触了两个新的桌游。一个叫《卡坦岛》（Catan）。一个是《街口 2》（Machi Koro 2）。昨天我玩儿的是《街口2》。在这个游戏中，玩家扮演市长的角色，购买餐厅，果园，购物中心等各种物业。然后掷色子🎲。如果掷到符合自己物业卡片要求的数字就会得到相应的回报。游戏中玩家努力扩展自己的物业，增加收入，用来购买标志性的建筑（landmark）。最先建成三个标志性建筑的玩家就赢了比赛。街口是一款简单好玩的桌面游戏。很容易上手。

我小时候玩过很多桌游。但是好像长大以后就很少玩了。我觉得是因为现代人的室内娱乐方式更多了。首先，人人都有智能手机。业余时间大家可以用手机上网，听歌儿，刷社交媒体，看YouTube视频什么的。其次，现在有各种视频流媒体。大家在家就可以用Hulu，Amazon Prime看电影，看剧。或者看有线电视上的娱乐节目，体育比赛直播。在各种多媒体的娱乐时代，桌游或者卡牌游戏感觉有点儿无聊。但是其实桌游是很有意思的。玩桌游需要动脑，主动去制定自己的策略，同时观察、分析别人的情况。这些都会让你很投入到游戏中，一点儿都不会无聊。而且，没有手机、电视、电脑的打扰，跟亲朋好友围坐在一起玩桌游，一边玩一边聊天说话，度过快乐的时光。这是多么美好的一件事呀！我觉得大家可以考虑聚会的时候多玩儿玩儿桌游。而不是大家都自己在玩儿手机。
