(I really don't know if this belongs in "gaming" or "off-topic." I'm going with "gaming" for now I guess.)
My friends and I have been on a bit of a board game kick lately. I'm always looking for new games to try out, so I figured I'd ask for some suggestions from you guys.
Of what I've played, my favorites include:
-Catan: I've only played it a bit, but I had a lot of fun. I can tell why most people's reactions when they see it on a shelf is "DUDE, I love that game!"
-Munchkin: Humorous, easy(ish) to learn, and confrontational, three things I love in a game. Base game is fun and the expansions make it better. My only complaint is that the $20 base game doesn't have a level board. Digging out graph paper or poker chips is kind of annoying.
-Survive: Escape from Atlantis: I bought this on a whim when I saw it on sale and love it. Second only to Munchkin in the "fun from screwing your friends at every turn" category. The rules seem super complicated at first, but you pick it up in about three turns. Highly recommended.
-Ticket to Ride: I was willing to spend $50 on a copy, and I don't regret it at all. That's very high praise coming from me.
-Scribblish (If that counts) Not much of a board game, but still hilarious.
-Good ol' Monopoly: Most of my friends refuse to play it. They say I get too cutthroat, I say they're just sore losers.
-Yu-Gi-Oh: I got into it because it was the anime fad of the day when I was in middle school, but I legitimately love the card game. I don't play it in real life, since I feel like I'm too old and the game has changed a bit to much from my era, but I still put a lot of miles on the GBA games.
What about you?
