    I played Scrabble just last week and I've been trying to convince somebody to buy Risk to bring to Jack's house when a bunch of us go there on Thursdays because I imagine it would be suitably hilarious. Played Balderdash over Christmas which was fantastic and - if it counts - I also play the Monopoly game on those Itbox quiz machines they have in pubs once a week or so.

    At my birthday party. Bobby (TSoL), my friend Steff and I played Scrabble Jr. I have a picture of it, but I don't think I would be allowed to post it.

    I love board games but i havent played any for a long while, no one can ever be bothered to play

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.

    Not less than a month ago I played Monopoly, Blockus, and many different versions of Scene-It with cousins. I always go for Green and Yellow, because this one has the best investment/payoff ratio, and is strategically awesome, due to their locations.

    I operate solely on the MO to make other people screw up and not have fun. I never win, but that's not the objective. Although there was that few couple of times that I won without trying; quite literally. Winning is not my intent.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    There were four versions of Nightmare (with The Gatekeeper, Baron Zombie Something, The Witch and The Vampire), and then they relaunched a new board/system with Atmosfear - I had them all, and my friends and I had a lot of fun freaking each other out! I always played as Gevaudan the Warewolf. YES, MY GATEKEEPER!

    Joe and I play chess, although I'm not very good at it, so he gets bored.

    Balderdash is the game in which you get points for coming up with fake definitions to trick people, right? That game was fantastic.

    Board games are a lot of fun. I wish I had an opportunity to play them more often. Epic night-long battles of Monopoly and Risk are things I miss from my childhood.

    I have a habit of saying that films star Danny DeVito which apparently makes them more believable. But it is one of the most brilliant board games I've ever played. Though definitely one which is funniest between friends who know how far they can push the humour xD

    Yeah. Stuff like making up laws, what acronyms stand for, film summaries and whatnot.

    I can do a pretty good impression of the original Gatekeeper. I plan to get the DVD version at some point to try it out with my mates for jokes.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Jojo, Sephex, ed, a few other people & I tried to play risk once ... it was very boring. lols, me and sephex just left early 'cos we were so bored. but it's a fun game, just not when you have that many people playing. xD

    I really, really like Risk. Having a game based almost completely on strategy and diplomacy really appeals me, as it gives me an opportunity to out-think everyone else who's playing.

    In practice, however, my terrible luck with dice always screws me over.

    Me, my mother, my older sister and sometimes my brother-in-law play Trivial Pursuit fairly often.
