Board Games | #1 | ||
New to the community, just as new to becoming a board game hobbyist. I currently own a few board games such as Dead of Winter and some of the classics. Currently waiting for DiceBorn Heroes to ship out from the kickstarted project.
On my wishlist right now:
What are some of the board games that you've enjoyed? Any recommendations? | ||||

Monopoly drags out too long to enjoy. Similar effect to munchkin late game but at least it ends. Never heard of ninja division. The only title I recognize is anima.

I've got the Mega Man board game and I've never had the opportunity to play it with anyone. :(
My family has gotten into Rock Me Archimedes, and we like Uno. Games by Coda (updated 4/15/2024 - New game: Call of Aether)
Art by Coda (updated 8/25/2022 - beatBitten and All-Nighter Simulator) Mega Man: The Light of Will (Mega Man / Green Lantern crossover: In the lead-up to the events of Mega Man 2, Dr. Wily has discovered emotional light technology. How will his creations change how humankind thinks about artificial intelligence? Sadly abandoned. Sufficient Velocity x-post) | ||||

I love me some Megaman, and would totally give the board game a try.
I go to a game night with some people every Wednesday where we've got a wide selection of board and card games available...although lately it's been mostly D&D night. Ever tried Betrayal? I think that one's my favorite. | ||||

I love playing Betrayal! I just ordered the Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Card Game (yeah there's no board but still). So I'm stoked for that. Have also played Love Letter and Three Cheers for Master. Wow I've played more card games than board :P

Never heard of the two. Well I meant to see table top games which include card games. I tend to stay away from card games because they generally are limited to two players and/or expensive.

Yeah that's very true, that's why Black Friday a comic book/game shops is so great! you can get everything at super discounts! Like Boss Monster, which I also own, that takes I believe up to four players and it's only $25!

That sounds interesting, I'll look into it. Is it four player co-op or just free for all?

I own about 80 board games. I've been collecting them since college. :) I actually demoed Dead of Winter at GenCon the year it was released after making the horrible mistake of not preordering it, so I bought it off a friend a year later. It's one of my favorite thematic games!
Betrayal is a lot of fun too. Gameplay is a bit random and I wish there was more choice, but it does execute the theme really well, so it's an easy game to get immersed in. I highly recommend Battlestar Galactica (even if you're not a fan of the TV show!) You play as a crew of pilots, military and political leaders on a journey to another planet, responding to invasions of evil robots while trying to conserve your food and fuel. It's an incredibly thematic experience, and the best part is that a few of the players are secretly traitors, working on the same side as those evil robots, trying to screw the crew over without giving their loyalty away. This traitor mechanic works differently from Betrayal in that the traitors often know who they are at the beginning of the game, and they can choose when they want to reveal their identity. It leads to a lot of paranoia and dramatic moments. As far as more complex games go, this one is easily my favorite. I would also recommend Tales of the Arabian Nights. It's similar to Betrayal in a lot of ways; you travel around a map and have a random encounter each turn. But unlike Betrayal, you choose how your character reacts to the encounter! Meet a handsome prince? You can offer to help him, or try to win his hand in marriage, or you can rob him blind. Encounter a mysterious creature? You can try to capture it, or you can follow it and see where it takes you. The encounters can seem rather disjointed and often the reactions you choose have completely unexpected consequences (for example, you expect robbing the prince to be easy because you have the stealth skill, but your character for some reason decides to charge right at him and attack even though she doesn't know how to use a weapon), so the game can get very silly. But if you like all the random events in Betrayal, Tales will not disappoint. | ||||

Unrelatedly, I'm a big fan of Pandemic, it's co-op and you'll lose more than win, but it's really fun to try to balance everything. | ||||

I love Pandemic! By any chance, have you played Pandemic: Legacy? There are a lot of new rules that get added on as you progress through the campaign, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't played the basic game. But just based on some of the games they've mentioned (without spoiling the story of Legacy) I have a feeling Scythe would appreciate it. :P
