Default Board Games

I may be wrong but I don't think I've seen any threads about Board Games. Board games are a great way to get people together and have some fun.

I've played my fair share of games and I've recently come to the conclusion that the weighty, strategy based, engine-building type games are just not my favorite. Games like 7 Wonders, Terraforming Mars these games require me to pay so much attention to different things and monitor the game at all times to have any chance at winning. This really takes away from the social aspect of a game night.

Games that I really enjoy that allow conversation, strategy and fun.

#1 Blokus, seriously buy this game it's worth it.
#2 Azul
#3 Monopoly, I know I know this game sucks but god damn I love it.


What are your favorite games?

Growing up we had a WW2 board game called "Axis & Allies" it was kind of like Risk but with all the nations involved in WW2. Don't think we ever finished a full game but we got tons of playtime out of it on the weekends in the summer time.

I enjoyed the Firefly board game when I had the chance to play it with 3 other people at a friend's house a few years ago. I need to buy a copy of that and convince more people to watch the show so they'll play it.

Niska's missions aren't worth it!

Oh I am a big fan of talisman, swish!

I believe the game the nerds play now is Gloomhaven I haven't but it seems to be everyone's favorite.

My roommates were TT players. It was never my thing but at this point in life I recognize how those influences shaped things I do like in this hobby.
I have become an admirer of any old FASA related artworks and the artists who made them.

(Note: Way before Ipad art apps shit up the scene -- talking about real drawings, paintings, air brushing etc)

Without the TT influence we never would have got the awesome live action (SciFi channel) Mechcommander intros.
