    Default Boardgame night!

    Boardgame General Thread

    (may fail)

    who plays board games?
    I love Puerto Rico and Settlers of Catan (still)
    More recently, co-op games like Sentinels of the Multiverse and Pandemic have made it into the regular rotation.

    Also I have tons of others - I love Say Anything cause it's so easy to play and people love it even when drunk - Prefer it to Cards Against Humanity

    scrabble/monopoly/risk even... though they haven't been broken out for years

    what about y'all?!

    Clue and How To Host A Murder are the best games, period.

    I liked playing Yahtzee with my grandparents and my ex and I would play Caravan with real cards. That was super fun.

    I hate Charades. smurfing hate it.

    Murder Mystery = D&D without half of the fun. :P

    I dig charades okay - but that's only if it's in Cranium or the like.

    Yeah, but D&D doesn't come in a box with Vincent Price's face on it. Your argument is invalid.

    The Last Man On Earth was crap - Vinnie lost my support with that one.

    Boardgames are pretty fun, but I ever hardly get to play because no one I know locally plays them. And when I do play, they don't last very long because the other players get board of it and quit right away.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    There was the time edczxcvbnm, myself, and two other friends went to play a friendly game of Life. I actually got the best, if not, second best career. Things were going well for me as I also obtained a lovely wife and two kids. Of course, I lose my job and get busted down to the WORST (and I been ranking them based on salary, of course) career. All my other friends kept having fortune smile upon them be bringing me to the brink of bankruptcy.

    At some point, it became edczxcvbnm's turn. Even though our other two friends were rolling in some mad dough, he (while laughing to the point of tears) says he is going to sue me. I was already pretty drunk at this point, so I suddenly went, "FINE! I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO DO THIS!" I start throwing my cards and whatever everywhere. I pull the symbolic family out of my car and exclaim, "MY FAMILY IS RUINED! I BLOW MY BRAINS OUT! NOT BEFORE I KILL MY WIFE AND CHILDREN--BENOIT STYLE--(at this point they were laughing so hard that they couldn't breathe)AND NOW IT'S OVER!!"

    It was all in good fun though. Those of you who ever caught a stream of edczxxcvbnm knows what I probably sounded like. Mad, but not actually upset.

    This. Seriously, me and you Proto should meet up and have a mad board game session. I love board games! But again, no-one around me wants to play. My entire family don't do boardgames.

    I'm making family games night a tradition in my household when I have kids.

    I have a game night once a week most weeks.

    Just need to know the right people and have the best games that don't burn people out.

    I love playing board games. Monopoly is a personal favorite of mine. But I also like games like Life and Risk. An overly complex game that I love is "War on Terror - The Boardgame" and it is a blast. I kind of view it as a modern day Risk.

    Also, I didn't actually sue Justin in his story above. I was joking when I said it and ultimately sued someone else. I only said that because I knew he would react in some way but what we received was indeed magical =D

    I used to have a once a month Quelf night in college. Probably my second favorite board game. My favorite is Balderdash (though, I have never used the board for that game.)

    I love board games!

    Some of my friends, when they still lived in my part of Houston, always brought out Ticket To Ride, Settlers of Catan, Once Upon a Time, and Battlestar Galactica (BSG only once, though D: ). Arkham Horror was fun too, but we didn't even finish our game it was so long.

    Nowadays, I play a lot of Pandemic and Cards Against Humanity.

    I love playing Infection. Leaving the black death at the swimming pool is always fun.
