Table top/board games

[Nando]

Growing up, my family as well as my wive's family, both had a closet full of board games. From Sorry to Jenga, to Monopoly and Chinese Checkers. You name it, we probably had it.  So my wifu and I are looking at doing something similar with the obvious current games twist.

I'm in the process of printing Paul's card game, so we are covered in that dept, and I found this little gem as well.






you guys play table top/Board games?

Richard Garfield did King of Tokyo?

I wonder how much MANA I have to tap to summon Gojira...

And yeah- board games are great times!

Cattan, Rails, Naval Wars, Life, Sorry, Monopoly, Ninja Burger or "Are you a werewolf"  are great times!!  Sometimes board/card games are the best filler time when we're waiting for the rest of our gaming party to arrive.

I would grow a third nut for a complete Fireball Island.

KING OF TOKYO ROCKS!

I lOVE TABLE TOP GAMES ... although not as much as obey

Other suggestions:
Quirkle
Takenoko - spelling might be off <- serious fun
Settlers of Catan
Munchkin
Shadows over Camelot
Apples to Apples
Robo Ralley

One of my favortie you tube series is Wil Wheaton's Table Top:  I think most of those games have been on there

I've been playing a lot of Eclipse lately and a friend of mine introduced me to Lords of Waterdeep.

Can someone please list some good co-op board games that I can write down for a later date.

Not really a board game but I am playing Cards against humanity.  It's a card game but "damn," this game is bad ass.

Pandemic?

I like Tales of the Arabian Nights, Mice and Mystics, Cosmic Encounter, and Fags all over my face

Screwball Scramble is the shit. The goal is to beat it as quickly as possible.


It's kinda like a real video game...

When I am looking to play something a little more deep with a group of guys that are like-minded, I will usually pull out Risk 2210 and it is a big hit.  We played Zombies for a while, but Risk typically wins out when determining what we want to play.

When playing games with the family, old faithful is Yahtzee.  My favorite "family" board game is Scattergories, but I think it is because I am approximately 232-0 lifetime playing this game.

Settlers of Catan is great if you can get 3 or more players.  I love it.

Good 2+ player games (often it's just my wife and me...)

Carcassonne
Settlers of Catan Card game (games can be long, but we've played this one a bunch over the years)
Ticket to Ride (though it gets better with more players - we often play it with our 5 yr old)
Java
Mexica
Forbidden Island (more players = more fun)
Castle Panic (again more players = more fun)
Quiddler (fun word-creating card game)

Forbidden Island and Castle Panic are both co-op games that are easy to learn by non-gamers (I've brought them both to work for "team-building excercises")

Not that I'm a shill for Amazon (some of the ones that fetch a higher price you can probably find on the cheap off ebay), but I thought you may like to see some other reviews of these games to see if they'd fit your play-style.

Those are the ones that came off the top of my head, though if you're looking for some specific type of game, let me know and I may have other suggestions.  All of those I play with my wife, most I play with my son (who's 5) and I've played most of those with other nerdy friends and non-gamer friends.

I'll save my truly nerdy game list for another time

Lmao @ arkface

Some awesome recommendations.  Thank you all.

I found a D&D clue and a couple of themed Risk boards that look fun. Digging the Metal Gear board.

This weekend my 5yr old my 2.5 yr old and my wife played, mancala, jenga, chutes n ladders and candy land! Great times!

Rolfmao, dude!  Yes please, looking for some more current family games. Our collection of classics is pretty complete.

No love for Hero Quest?

I haven't seen this in years.
