anybody like board games??

obviously all the classics like...ugh..monopoly and clue...

but what about obscure/geeky board games like junta, kremlin, mutant chronicles, hero quest, settlers of catan, etc?

Is Risk geeky enough?

I also really enjoy playing APBA baseball and golf (similar to Strat-O-Matic)...the board game versions.

I have not played any of the really obscure board games you mentioned.

I have a game called Perquacky. It is boggle...without bounds.

Mille Bournes is a card game that I have but have not played that my friend has played but does not have...go figure.

I am a huge monopoly/life addict though. Best board games EVER!

My friend explained it as a card game that has to do with cars...not bi-lingual stuffs.

They have almost no FMVs and the storylines suck.

I remember a few years ago I went to a friend's house and he taught me how to play Risk, then I played a game with him and his brother. That was the first and last time I played it.

I like Boggle alot, most board games just rely on luck, I prefer to actually think during a board game...if I wanted to play Snakes and Ladders, I might as well flip a coin, its the same game...

Hmmm...Scrabble. I've never lost in Scrabble...my vocabulary is too extensive. :)

Also Othello, mastermind, chess, even though I'm not very good at it. Anything that makes me think.

Oh, and Clue. Gotta have Clue. :)

There was this board game a long time ago called Arch Rival. It was basically a balancing game using brightly colored pieces. Anyone remember this one?

Cranium... TURBO!

I love that game cause I'm so good with useless trivia and I rock at the charades part of the game. Plus I reeeally like playing with the Playdo. :)

Balderdash can be incredibly fun with some friends.

Also, Cluedo is a better name than Clue.

Risk is allright. I hardly ever play boardgames though...
