Your Favorite Board/Table Top Games

[DirectorTsaarx]

Y'all are bringing back so many memories... I'd forgotten about playing Illuminati in college. That, and Star Fleet Battles, led to failing out my freshman year of college. Oh, and AD&D didn't help any.

I used to be a good Othello/Reversi player, Life is still good for a laugh now & then; and Clue is pretty good if you have at least 3 people.

I play Bridge, Spades, and Hearts with my girlfriend's parents; if we have more than four people, we generally play "Hand and Foot", a variation on Canasta.

With my family (and/or friends), we play various party games: Cranium, Sagarian, Scattergories, Hummmble, Outburst, Taboo, Rack-o, Uno, Mille Bornes, the list just goes on for quite a while and I don't even remember the names anymore...

I haven't played Monopoly in years; I used to play with a (now ex-) girlfriend, and since my goal was to find "alternate" ways to pay rent, it wasn't a very serious game...

Oh, and I played Risk a few times back in college too.

How about Car Wars? That was good for a diVersion from RPG's (I won't bother listing all the RPG's I used to play...)

I think I've gone on long enough. Anyone else?

My favourite table top game is rod hockey. You know with the little hockey men that turn and twist...very fun stuff.

I guess my favourite board game would be Balderdash where you make up fake definitions for words you never heard of before...very fun.

I play Scrabble with my wife a lot, but she almost always wins. I would say our vocab is the same but she just knows how to make the best moves at every turn. I least I have Trivia games

A few friends of mine and I (12 years ago) used to take 5 risk Boards and combine them all. So you could only travel from one board to the other at alaska and kam..(i am not going to try)... 20 people would play. You would be spread out over the 5 Boards and then we played until there was one person left. ( mind you this would take a few days)

The Russian Campaign
War & Peace
Victory in the Pacific

& many, many others... many mentioned here.

computers killed most of the play tho... no more dice cups, stacks of counters & friends that had to go home at key parts of the game.

well most of the games listed..I have played at one time or another

but as for favorite, probably that would have to be Avalon Hill's Squad Leader.

GURPS is my favorite rpg, AD&D a close second
