what's your favorite board game???


*PS, i know this is a lame-o topic*

okay...but i know there's not a pink dot on the board...

anything but monopoly, that game is a fight waiting to happen.

BALDERDASH!!!

So true. That and scrabble.

thats not a word

get the dictionary

There is nothing whatsoever "lame-o" about this topic. Board games are a wonderful pastime. I'm actually trying to develop a business model that revolves around teaching people to play new games and to help organize family game nights.

That said, I think that my favourite board game may be Samurai Swords (aka Shogun.) It combines some of the good unit diversity of Axis & Allies with the simple, abstract gameplay of Risk. If I don't happen to have three or four other people with hours to spare, then Quarto is probably my favourite. It's a "solved" game, but most players, myself included, don't play perfectly. One thing that really appeals to me about it is how beautiful the game looks. It's just wooden blocks with a handful of variations to them and it looks like a work of art, sitting out on the table.

Do table-top RPGs count as board games? If no one knows how to answer that question, then the answer is clearly no. :-P

My vote goes for RISK. I actually collect the games, and I have several different versions, including the original from many years ago (with the Roman numerals for pieces), the newer version with plastic pieces, the Star Wars: Clone Wars Edition, the Star Wars: Original Trilogy Edition, The Lord of the Rings version, and RISK: 2210. I also own a copy of the PC and PS2 games as well. :-P

And yes, I play them all with friends throughout the year on multiple occasions.

I also own many different versions of the Monopoly games, as I collect those as well, but those require much less strategy, ergo I voted for RISK. ;-)

Oh God that does bring back memories,lol!!!

I think table top rpg's do count as bord games if you want to be technical about it.

StarWarsGeek, I'm a big fan of Risk 2210AD. I like that the game is no longer decided by the guy who happens to cash in for 80 men right after the guy who cashed in for 75 men ALMOST, but not quite won.

Yeah, we never, EVER play by the rules in that respect. :-P We always use the alternate ruling of 3 infantry cards = 4 armies; 3 cavalry cards = 6 armies; 3 cannon cards = 8 armies; and 1 of each = 10 armies. It makes the game more fair because, as you said, a person can't come back and win just because he waits to cash in his cards one turn after someone else just to get more troops, giving an unfair advantage.

Dungeonmaster says YEES!! WILL SMASH IF NO LIKEY,lol, J/K!!!
