Favorite Board Games

[DrDeath3191]

Long before Pong, games were mostly made up of cardboard and plastic. What are some of your favorite board games?
Personally, I enjoy Chess, Go (it is really hard to find someone who knows how to play that) and Dungeons and Dragons.

EDIT: Forgot Catan and Carcassone.

RISK!

Also Monopoly, Cluedo, Yahtzee, Rummikub, Go, Solar Trader and the Lord Of The rings game.

EDIT - Since their being counted (apparently) I'll also add D&D, Warhammer and Warhammer 40k.

Monopoly! No one can best me at that. Oh and chess.

Monopoly and chess. Exactly what I was going to say.

Monopoly! No one can best me at that.

Oh it is ON!!!

 

[Kinguendo]

Noughts and Crosses... but dont forget, only n00bs take the middle on their first go because you are nevr going to get anything other than a draw with that tactic so we have a gentlemans agreement.

Is that a challenge, my fellow real estate tycoon?

Monopoly, obviously. I also enjoy a good game of chess. Not sure if D&D counts since you don't really need the miniatures, but I'll still say 3.5 D&D.

 

[Azraellod]

i enjoy chess, and would probably play dungeons and dragons if i could find a single person living near me who plays.

 

[UnearthedArcana]

Chess, Warhammer 40k, D&D 3.5, Checkers, Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit.

Drunken or sober monopoly? Cos i havent lost yet...bring it.

OK...

How we gonna do this?

EDIT- sober.

Is that a challenge, my fellow real estate tycoon?

Yes but i have to be the thimble or it doesnt count.

Three way, I got dibs on teh BatelShipz

Talisman, Settlers of Catan (with various expansions, but in German so half of us don't understand what's going on)... Used to play a bit more chess, I'm sure I've got a rosette around here somewhere from a competition, even if it is tragically pink.

I find pen-and-paper RPGs to be a bit more abstract than board games, though D&D frequently uses them, and Warhammer and all that counts more as an "Entire tabletop game" rather than "Board". If we're including these, then D&D and Necromunda these days, respectively.

Damn that would be cool to get an escapist monopoly game going. Do the bargain bin PC monopoly games have online multiplayer?

Dunno, but something must be done about this, the Challenge must be taken up!

EDIT - last time I played one of those computer versions it kinda sucked. Plus I believe the game is improved by a few custom rules I use.

I used to love playing Risk but now it's really boring.

No! No! You're always the battleship! You can be the shoe! I want to be the battleship for once! (e-cookie if you get the reference)

 

[Warrior Irme]

Apples to Apples is epic if you get a group of people that can joke with the game.

 

[katsabas]

Chess, Warhammer 40k, D&D 3.5, Checkers, Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit.

Yay! Fellows that still play the 3.5 version! Solar and Pit Fiend for life! I also like Domino, Jenga, Othello, Scrabble and Taboo.

 

[damselgaming]

13 Dead End Drive, old skool Pay Day, and Dream Phone... "I know who likes you.... he's not wearing anything yellow."

 

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

Arkham Horror, Carcassonne (Hunters and Gatherers), RoboRally and Space Hulk, to namedrop but a few.

I like my games both digital and analogue.

I used to love playing Risk but now it's really boring.

Risk is a great game for backstabbing, much like A Game of Thrones. It always manages to cause bad blood between players.

 

[Radeonx]

Candy Land. Greatest food based game ever devised.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Hmmmm...Monopoly, Settlers of Catan, Risk, Battleships and Cluedo. I barely play those, but I know I like them a lot. I would also love to play D&D, Warhammer and Warhammer 40K games.
