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 )

connect four

battleship

guess who

I played axis and allies a few times in college. Great strategy game.

Chess

Poker (not hold 'em)

Hearts

Hide the salami.

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.

Used to play spin the bottle a lot. Now I just tip it.

UNO!

"This is anybody here 2 1/2 hours into a game of Monopoly, 'fugg THIS GAME! IT'S 4 IN THE MORNING, GRANDMA - YOU WIN! I'M SITTING ON BALTIC WITH CRAP! I'M PAYING LUXURY TAXES UP THE a**! AND I HATE IT WHEN YOU'RE THE BANKER. WHERE'D YOU GET THE PINK 50s YOU CHEATING WHORE? DON'T TOUCH ME, GRANDPA! NANA IS A CHEATING WHORE!"

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).

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

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

Dominos the game of the real men

Poker Hold'em only

UNO but with the family only

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.

Words with friends, angry birds, oh and strip poker.

I have a ton of "Euro" games

 

Some of my favorites:

 

Dominion

Catan

Commands & Colors

Memoir '44

7 Wonders

Theres only 4 "Draw 4" cards in the deck. So...

Card games (hold em, acey duecey, bs, hate your neighbor, etc)

Jenga

Apples to apples

I like to roll up a character and play Dungeons and Dragons! :elf:

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.
