Is a board game. I didn't think people could make board games worth playing, but this one is fun. This week I played a game of the latest expansion Timber Peak where minor RPG elements of experience gain were added. Pretty fun imo.

The closest I came to playing a board game was Magic way back in the day. If im not working, on computer, or doing stuff outside im usually reading. So no board games for me.

Settlers of Catan. It brings that passive aggressive PVP we all know and love from P99 into board game fashion.

Not necessarily a board game, but Cards Against Humanity is great--just try not to play it with people you have to define the words for...ugh.

I love that game.

Also my personal favorite board game due to simplicity and endless fun is 2v2 Star Wars Epic Duels. And Dominion if you can count it as a board game.

Mancala. Monopoly. The majority of the Scene It games (maybe stretching the definition of a board game on that one.)

Recently taught my kids (12 and 7) how to play Poker and bet properly. My 7 year old will hustle your ass, too. Dude is fearless.

My sister just started playing Settlers of Catan not too long ago, going to try it when I visit her next month.

some of my favorits

1. Circus Maximus - God I loved this game when I would go to LA cons in my twenties.

2. civilization < not computer game>- one game I remember took use over 10hrs to finis 6 players started Friday night ended 10 am sat.

3. Avalon hill game where you traded stuff along galaxy routes could upgrade your ship with weapons etc etc. cant rem its name fun as hell.

4. Not many probably heard of this one INSECTA I use to run this at conventions and always had a blast we had a board that was 4 ' x 4' .

5. Talisman of course

6. GW game I believe where you drew tiles to make dungeon as you moved trying to reach the treasure room. You have a small selection of heroes you could select each with his own abilities and minatures.
