Thread: What board games do you play?

  1. #1

    Default What board games do you play?

    If you play a good boardgame, put a photo here.

    We play board games on every Tuesday at Ladinek's lair. Yesterday, we played a new addition to my massive collection, called Monster Menace of America. It looks great, and when you house rule it, it is a great silly fun.

    Star Trek Catan, Panic and Frontiers are all excellent games. I love Frontiers the best, although i can't remember the rules for more than a week.

    I have 300+ and have always enjoyed them. We have a weekly game night. Blood Rage, Oathsworn, Nanty Narking, Inis, Codenames, Captain Sonar, Secret Hitler are among many favorites.

    Final Girl is a solo game based on 80's slasher films. Awesome.

    I was looking at Oathsworn but it looked like you needed a forklift to move it around!

    It's very heavy, even if just the one box standees version due to all those cards and story manuals in the box. I think over 20 lbs lol. But very cool game and I managed to paint all the 100+ miniatures

    Crosshairs components printed out. Using cotton wool for clouds and bottle caps for plane counters. A white board takes care of noting which plane is at what altitude. I am going to laminate those maps for durability too. I am looking forward to my first game. All items were downloaded from the links in boardgamegeek as free PnP.

    So...

    Catan
    Carcassonne
    Ticket to Ride
    Zombicide
    Eldritch Horror
    Castles of Mad King Ludwig
    Red Dragon Inn
    Colt Express

    Then also...

    Skyrim
    Dead of Winter
    Smallworld
    Lords of Neverwinter
    Architects of the Western Kingdoms
    Raiders of the North Sea

    Six of us get together every Sunday night for board games, plus my kids all love board games, so I am lucky enough to play them a lot.

    Makes the Legion Wargames version seem like 'Entry Level' ...

    (But I really like it )

    It wasn't all gaming over Spring Break
    Got out to The WAAAM Air & Auto Museum in Hood River, Oregon (about an hour from our place up the Columbia River Gorge)

    Indeed! Great pics, Pete. I've played Cascadia a few times. Aces of Valor looks interesting. We can definitely play Heat

    We tried this version on Tuesday after our WoG game. We will need to try it a couple more times to get the mechanics and rules clearer, so we can focus on enjoying the game.

    Actually, Max and I were on the same side. Two Camels against a D.III and Dr.1 using my Excel version of your D8 charts for the Germans.
    I got the D.III but Manfred took me down.
    Max was The Avenger and took down Richthofen.
