Board Games?

[Cigarbear]

I play boardgames with my son so it's a lot of Chutes & Ladders and Hi Ho Cherrio

[dr. cox]

I love risk. Only problem is no one ever wants to play.

Candyland

Candyland

Yeah, I think you're version of "Candyland" isn't "G" rated like the one they sell in the stores.

I think Stratego was one of the greatest board games of all time. Clue is pretty cool too.

Mousetrap!

Careers, Parcheesi and Battleship were always fun when I was a kid.

Risk is okay but like someone already said, you need about 8 hours to play it and I always thought Life sucked because it pretty much totally depended on what career you landed in on the first spin, in most cases the game was over before it barely began and Operation was just plain ridiculous

I can't believe all the salty nooblers aren't all over this one!

I always like "Sorry."

Clue is a good game. We had a tradition for a while of playing that after thanksgiving dinner as a family, except we made it "Whiskey Clue" which meant if you guess wrong, you had to do a shot. Even got my Mom to take a shot one time. She took a little sip, and then poured the rest in her coffee.

Dictionary and taboo are my two favorite games. I am ruthless my team pretty much wins all the time. It's been a long time sense anyone wanting to play these games with me.....:(

Any trivia game works for me. We own quite a few versions and recently purchased the Classic Rock version. Sadly, my wife may never play it with me again. I won and she didn't have a single pie. And that's not because she doesn't know her classic rock, every time she landed on a pie question she got a humdinger of a nasty one while I seemed to get simple ones.

She won't play Scrabble with me anymore. I suck so badly at it she says it's no fun for her.................b*tch! LOL

I always enjoyed Risk but hated that I got killed because of crappy dice rolls. If I'm going to play a board strategy game, I'd much rather play chess, there's no chance involved.

All the other older games, Monoply, Clue, Life etc are fun and I'd play them agian.

Holy crap! It's usually the other way around.....

Board games? More like bored games...see what I did there?

Yeah, that's what got me thinking.....

I suck at Risk, I'm fairly decent at monopoly.

A favorite at my parent's house was Life, but they had an old 60's version of it so when you got a year's salary, it was like 6000 dollars.

Also, I like the game Operation. If brought up in front of my wife, she'll tell about the time I cheated by blowing the Charlie horse in the back corner for her emminent win. I deny my part.

I do enjoy A&A, although I've only played the original & Europe versions. I also like "Samurai Swords" (originally releases as Shogun) and "Fortress America". Dang, two more games and I've covered all of the games in the MB Gamemaster Series. I do like "Risk", but these other games are a bit more involved and for me, more fun. "Lionheart" & "Stratego" are good for when I don't have as much time to game or when I'm trying to introduce a youngster or noob to gaming.

I used to play a lot of the "Warhammer", "Warhammer 40K", "Battletech" & "Mechwarrior" tabletop games. I started selling off some of my pieces, although I still have some floating around.

I have heard many positive reviews for the Settlers of Catan. I'll have to check it out one of these days. A couple of other games that have caught my eye are the "Conflict of Heroes" line and "Memoir '44".

Mark, with a child on the way, you won't have time to game. I'll take the games off your hands. Better yet, teach him/her to play and you'll have a gaming buddy.

I used to play the Game of Life, but I kept getting fired from my job with 4 kids to put through college, a cheating wife and a retarded dog.

I play darts now.

[mrtr33]

I agree with Dan. The only Risk I like playing is Castle Risk, which came with a version of Risk a few years ago. I like the continuous layout of the Europe for that game rather than the archipelago style of the entire world. In addition to Settlers, I've heard good things about a game called Puerto Rico.

Some of my friends really get into Blood Bowl, and I played a little bit of Marvel Superheroes when I was younger, but I have a hard time getting into the tabletop RPGs.

I do plan on teaching the youngster how to play chess early on and whipping them mercilessly. Part self-gratification, but in part to have someone to play with.

I enjoyed playing Clue when I was younger. Regulars would be monopoly and risk. The wife likes to play Taboo and Battle of the Sexes (for some reason, we always end up in a fight after the last one).
