gaming What is your favourite board game?

Chess, straight away. Me and my Granddad play it every Christmas, and every time I get down to his house. He's a highly proficient player, and has taken on a few Grandmasters in his time. I can only hope to be as good as that man one day.

 

Funny. I don't recall him ever speaking about BEATING a Grandmaster.

I especially loved this traditional Chinese game that my dad taught me. It's really fun though I completely forgot the name. Urm...

If I am going to play one other person, I prefer checkers. (I don't know how to play chess, but will sometime, etherwise I would say chess) Though if I am in a group, Monopoly is the way to go.

Monopoly, but I can't say that I've ever finished a full game.

Risk is good because it’s probably the only game that uses 100% strategy; no dice, nothing random or based on luck. But my favorite is Dungeons and Dragons, if you consider that a board game. It uses dice, paper materials and sometimes even little character tokens as an option, so I think of it as a physical game that fits the category.

I really wish I had somebody to play board games with.  I play them online but it's not the same. The one I play most is Takenoko.

I have to say Pandemic! It is an awesome cooperative board game where you and a friend(s) take different roles to stop diseases from killing everyone. It is incredibly fun and very unpredictable. I highly suggest trying it out if you can.

I've only played once(didn't win) but it's a lot of fun.

Chess, checkers, and lots of other games are pure strategy.

I've never played any roleplaying games but they sound fun. Though also really time consuming and kind of scary since they basically involve acting.

Very true.

Checkers is my favorite, and I think that I played it the most as well.

Candyland has always been my favorite board game.

Scooby Doo Monopoly.

Chess is my absolute favourite. I enjoy the strategy and sense of structure that it holds. But for other, more modern boardgames -- I've had a lot of fun with group ones like Werewolf and the like.

I like candyland too because it's easy 

Also, some card games like Uno I enjoy a lot

Games like chess are too much brain power for me. Too much thinking involved, it's not healthy for little iglooshy

Anybody play on Board Game Arena?

I made a group if anybody's interested: https://boardgamearena.com/group?id=14623144 

I usually just play quick games when I have a moment but I like to play longer, more involved games when I can.

It has always been the Atmosfear board games for me, with my favorites being The Harbingers VHS and the 2004 DVD games, that's just about the only board games I'll ever play really.

I always found Clue to be fun.
