February 5, 2016 (edited) No one I know IRL seems to really care about them, but personally I love them. So I was wondering: Are any of you into board games? If so, which ones do you like? Here's some of the ones I'm into (in no particular order): 1. Tsuro 2. Forbidden Desert 3. Jaipur 4. Robinson Crusoe Adventures on the Cursed Island 5. YINSH 6. Cosmic Encounter 7. Uno (of course) 8. Summoner Wars 9. Gin Rummy (game played with a standard deck of cards) 10. Klondike (a type of solitaire) Additionally, out of curiosity, do any of you happen to have Tabletop Simulator? It's a wonderful platform for online board gaming. Edited February 5, 2016 by Makazi 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
February 5, 2016 I like UNO, MTG and I was thinking about buying the MLP cards. Don't know anyone that will play the pony cards though. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
February 5, 2016 (edited) Yeah, I like board games. All of them, Honestly, but these are the ones I remember: -Risk -Monopoly -DnD -Uno -Cards I can't play DnD, though, so I'm not sure that counts Also, Tabletop Simulator. I don't really want to buy it, if only because I don't have any friends that'll play it with me Edited February 5, 2016 by Sansley 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another one that I've never played but am really intrigued by (and actually own) is Twilight Imperium 3rd edition. It's unfortunately one of those games that takes 5-8 hours complete, and I don't know anyone (other than me) willing to put up with that sort of time commitment to a game. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, I probably would be commited to that. I generally like games that takes ages to complete. There's more enjoyment that way 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robinson Crusoe can take 3-5 hours to complete, and I've played it a few times with a bud online. You get really into each session and when you lose it sucks, but when you actually manage to win it's incredible. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
February 5, 2016 (edited) Axies and allies is a really fun board game. The only down side is that it takes to set it up. Edited February 5, 2016 by Gestum 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Badges
February 5, 2016 Axies and allies is a really fun board game. The only down side is that it takes to set it up. Ah yeah, that seems like a cool one. Saw an old copy of it in a flea market once--was tempted to pick it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
February 5, 2016 (edited) At times when I'd like to play board games, they would be the following: Monopoly (any version and theme) Risk Trouble (and similar games, like Sorry! and Pachisi) Checkers Chess Battleship Connect Four For card games however, here are the card games I like: Solitaire Klondike UNO Go Fish War Poker and Texas Hold 'em Poker (ONLY for fun and not gambling for money, candy, etc. As gambling usually doesn't result with a positive outcome (there's basically not much fairness with gambling)) Edited February 5, 2016 by Jonny Music 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Badges
February 5, 2016 At times when I'd like to play board games (we are not talking card games here. That's for another thread (unless the author of the OP renames the title to include card games to avoid confusion)), they would be the following: Don't know how to change a thread title, sorry. But yeah I am referring to either board games or card games. Though lots of board games do involve tons of cards, and there are some board games that are ambiguous enough that you could refer to them as card games, for example Summoner Wars; that's why I didn't really bother making the distinction. Maybe a mod could help change the thread title. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Therefore you will be given the option to change the title. Try it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Badges

February 5, 2016 The only real card game I play is solitaire or occasionally Bullshit Board games your typical stuff Chess, checkers, monopoly etc. I used to play DND wayyyy back as a babbi Quirky. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
February 5, 2016 I kinda do. It's complicated. You see, I LOVE playing Cards Against Humanity, but not the real deal. I'd rather play an online version of it called Pretend You're Xyzzy, mostly because they allow custom decks from Cardcast. Also, on a whiole 'nother train of thought, I'd like to think that my decks for PYX are FAR worse than the original CaH decks. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Badges
February 5, 2016 Yu-Gi-Oh Magic: The Gathering Pokemon TCG Are the cards I play most, while I have a bunch of assorted board games X3 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
February 5, 2016 I used to play Warhammer, 40K, WFRP, Shadowrun and AD&D, although none of those are boardgames strictly speaking. I also like Risk, Monopoly, Diplomacy, Escape from Colditz, Game of Life, Trivial Pursuits and a whole heap of others. At the moment, I mostly just play MtG when I get a chance to. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Badges
February 5, 2016 I'm a monopoly fiend. Looove that game, even more now as an adult. The negotiating backdoor deals are the best A while back I fancied that I was going to be a professional poker player once upon a time. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Badges

Monopoly is fun, but it seems to be most fun with a group of four or more. Unfortunately I rarely get such a group together. You know there's actually a My Little Pony version. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is almoat too tempting... I agree-bigger the better. What my extended inlaw family does every Thanksgiving is get together at my wife's uncles house for like 3 days, and during that time the cousins all get together for some vicious Monopoly sessions. Signaling, speaking in code, the whole bit. Playing until bust, be it dawn or dark. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Badges

February 5, 2016 (edited) Sure, I'll play games like Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, Snakes n Ladders and Guess Who with my youngest cousins. I also enjoy Yahtzee, Clue, Chinese Checkers and Trouble, Sorry etc. I used to know how to play Spades and Canasta but I've forgotten how and I like Skip-bo and Uno.
