OT: Favourite Boardgames
 

since there are posts about favourite computer games, i was curious if there are some more boardgame addicts around here besides me

my favourites:

- Agricola
- Axis & Allies revised
- Settlers of Catan
- Talisman 4th (FF version)
- Munchkin (if that classifies as a board game...)

Board games? Would chess count? :)

Re: OT: Favourite Boardgames

Re: OT: Favourite Boardgames
 

Nibelung, Shark and Saratoga and Risiko of course that a classic.

Love boardgames. My all-time favorites are probably:

- Race For the Galaxy (best all-around)
- Ra (best auction)
- Galaxy Trucker (most amusing - love watching your ship get split in half in a meteor storm and losing all the precious cargo :) )


I am waiting to try Cutthroat Caverns - just got it but looks fun. I tried War of the Ring this weekend, massive 2 player war/strategy game. We didn't get close to finishing but look forward to giving it another try now that I (kind of) know how to play.

Mühle is the german word for Nine Men's Morris

I never heard of those games you guys posted :D , except risk of course

Re: OT: Favourite Boardgames
 

And I've never heard of any of your games, very amusing!:)

Re: OT: Favourite Boardgames
 

well im checking yours out at boardgamegeek.com right now. great site by the way.

and oh you MUST check out talisman and agricola !

Re: OT: Favourite Boardgames
 

I defenitly played Shark the most, it's a sort of economy based game, similar to monopoly in a way,
Nibelung is a fantasy world with giants and magic cards, very good,
and Saratoga is a war game, with infantry, ships, airplanes and so on.

Oh, and Stratego was a damn good game too!!!

You got me interested now.

well agricola is like a peaceful RPG. you are a farmer in the 17th century and have to survive and maybe become wealthy and raise a family. sounds weird, but its so much strategy in it. very deep game and can be played solitaire as well.

talisman is a classic RPG game. typical fantasy, you can choose between 14 different characters, which are quite unique. a high luck factor in it, but you never really notice it. slaying monsters, collecting treasures, fighting other players. talisman has it all :)

saratoga looks like hardcore strategy...
shark looks very interesting...
