Games

[SpecialK 193]

As it is rainy today I figured this would be a good topic. What games do you like to play of the board, card, or other variety? Every time I move I lose the group of people I play with for certain games. Either I never start playing it again or I find others that enjoy the game. Who knows maybe we all have certain games we like in common and we can have some NJGF game nights.

 

Games I miss playing the most are Axis and Allies a board game and Eurchre which is a card game for those of you that have never heard of it.

 

I also like playing dominoes, spades, hearts, poker, Risk, and I am sure there are other I am forgetting.

 

So, what do you all like to play? (besides with yourself )

One on one UNO. You haven't lived until you save up 6 "Draw Four" cards and dump em one after the other until your wife calls you a "F**KING CHEATER!!!" and throws said cards in your face. Good times.

I'm a sucker for Monopoly. Stratego, Ray, is one I use to play a lot; though haven't touched the game in a few years now.

 

With a group of friends, Apples to Apples can be pretty fun (though with a bunch of strangers it can be super awkward).

 

Other then that, I have interacted with mostly kiddie boardgames recently as my little sister is finally getting to that age where she can enjoy them (slowly).

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Ben, the challenge is out there! Pennsylvania has all these games waiting for us.

[KpdPipes 388]

ive been playing World of Tanks lately...ok, consistantly getting my a** handed to me on World of tanks.. but for a Free Game it's not too bad

[tuktuk 16]

Dominos the game of the real men

Poker Hold'em only

UNO but with the family only

[Recon Racoon 49]

Age of Empires 1 & 2 + Expansions

Risk, I love to play Risk. It gets intense when its friends playing.

I played Axis and Allies once with some friends and their uncles. I want to play it again, but have no idea where to find or any one that wants to play it at all lol.

Monopoly can be a blast but it has to be with the right people for it to be fun.

[crazyboy 13]

I used to play a lot of strategy table games - lots of Axis and Allies, Starfleet Battles was a great board game but I do not think I could bring myself to re-learn the phone book sized rules. Hard to believe I used to remember them in their entirety. Along the same line were miniature games - Warhammer 40K, Warhammer Fantasy Battles, Battleship Gothic, Warhammer Epic, Battletech. Robot Rally was a really fun strategy board game to play. Later on I played a lot of Poker (Hold'em).

 

These days I mostly play "Manage IT team on multiple projects with conflicting priorities" or "Fix leaky shower stall" and who can ever forget "Drive your son to hockey." - I play a whole lot of that one these days.
