Had a group that was able to get together, we played Dune a couple times, but a few weeks ago we played Rising Sun which was fun but I was kind of trying to figure it out as we went. It's a 5 player game based on feudal Japan and Japanese mythology. You're essentially fighting for control of Japan, there's mechanics for honor, patron gods, summoning monsters and demons and stuff. It was very interesting.

One of us is an avid boardgame player the rest of us are learning. Dune winners have varied (I led a Fremen Revolution once), but we got bodied by our group veteran in Rising Sun. Not in a bad way really, he supplied the game, the amazing minis for it, and was very helpful. Two in the group stopped paying attention and me and another were in a "don't lose" alliance since we were clearly being outpaced.

Also I've taken up chess. I'm mad at myself for never getting into it when I was younger, it's pretty fun.
