My pop culture-obsessed mind can only think of Ted Mosby from TV's 'How I Met Your Mother' when I look at the Modern Architecture Game. NEXT Architects have created a board game designed specifically for followers of modern architecture -- casual followers, you have been warned.
The game requires players to answer trivia questions about modern architecture while moving their building-shaped pieces around the blueprint board. At first glance, these pieces may not seem like much, but an architecturally inclined eye will notice that each one is designed in the shape of a standout piece of modern architecture -- the answer to this question is tough, but I won't spoil it for those wanting to challenge themselves. The Modern Architecture Game is available now and sells for $60.
