Re: Favourite tabletop games
I plan do make a video series about unknown tabletop games. Would you guys be interested?

Re: Favourite tabletop games
Maybe? It honestly depends on many things.

Re: Favourite tabletop games
It's not an area I've been drawn to for a while, but I do like seeing classical and obscure items.

Re: Favourite tabletop games
I've been thinking about it for a while. Honestly, there are a lot of overlooked games that are just amazing.
Re: Favourite tabletop games
Its since forever but Checkers are a classic.

Re: Favourite tabletop games
Checkers, or Draughts, right? Othello/Reversi is another one I remember.

Re: Favourite tabletop games
Actually checkers and draughts have a slight rule difference which completely screws up game theories about both. Checkers were broken already by computers, draughts are in the chess territory.
Re: Favourite tabletop games
If anyone is into strategy games and also japanese culture I highly recommend Haru Ichiban.
I bought it a while ago and I have to say, the esthetics is absolutely amazing and the strategy part is very intense.

Re: Favourite tabletop games
My collection is quite small so my list of favourite games will be almost identical to the list of games I own, but anyway:
Castles of Burgundy for strategy, especially 2-player
Ticket to Ride: Europe for something lighter and 3-5 players
Codenames for a party word game
I liked Dominion also but the base set got repetitive fast, and I can't find the expansions here. Same reason I haven't tried Pandemic Legacy yet, no stores are selling it despite it being the #1 game on BGG...

Re: Favourite tabletop games
I like the original monopoly, I'm not really a fan of other "monopoly rip-off games".
I Also like "SpellDown" which is a game similar to Scrabble but I like Scrabble better.

Re: Favourite tabletop games
My brother has huge board game parties every week, and I've tried joining in on so many occasions but I just don't really feel it. Not that I don't have fun sometimes, but the fact that, in my mind, I'm waiting for it to be over isn't a good sign. I used to be obsessed with board games, but they really take a lot of time and dedication.
I love standard card games (pusoy dos, poker, etc) though, and I play them regularly with friends.

Re: Favourite tabletop games
Haven't played a table top games in a while, though. I was playing card games more than playing board games the days of playing them with my family when I was younger were fun. I played card games a lot with my friends too.Adsolution wrote: I love standard card games (pusoy dos, poker, etc) though, and I play them regularly with friends.

Ah, these bring back memories. As a kid I once had this game disc that had all these random board games (chess, checkers, snakes and ladders, reversi) and card games that I would play (usually against a computer) all the time. At least until it broke (RIP....whatever the name of that disc was)Adsolution wrote: I love standard card games (pusoy dos, poker, etc) though, and I play them regularly with friends.
We always have at least ONE card game every time there's a party at my house (always random, so I don't remember which card games are a regular thing). No idea why, but it's a lot of fun!
Always be true to yourself.

Re: Favourite tabletop games
I think Monopoly and that bingo game were my favourites.

Re: Favourite tabletop games
Monopoly always took forever and ended with blatant stealing of others' money and properties back when I used to play it.

Re: Favourite tabletop games
I remember playing it on holiday one day and someone tried to cheat by pretending the dice landed on a different number.

Re: Favourite tabletop games
Ah, you have to be sneakier than that. Everyone always looks at the dice, but you might be able to distract others while moving your player piece...

I think I recall him also doing that and moving an extra time to avoid paying, but getting caught too.
