    Board Games

    I was wondering, does anyone play any board games? What are your favorite board games? Or card games for that matter?

    I have a friend that loves board and card games, and he always finds the most interesting games. I'm usually afraid to buy any board games because most of them seem to suck.

    One of my favorites is Carcassonne. You build cities, roads, and farms and compete for ownership of each and try to get the most points based on the size of the city or length of the road, etc.

    This past weekend, he introduced me to a board game called "Robo Rally". I thought it was a stupid name at first. Then we started playing it and I thought it was totally awesome. Everyone controls a robot and you have to move it to each numbered flag on the board in numerical order. You use 5 program cards to program how your robot moves for each turn(moving forward, back or turning). Everyone reveals their program cards one at a time and everyone moves at more or less the same time. And after every move you can shoot your laser if there's a robot standing in front of you. And you can push the other robots and mess up their programs. It's much fun, not to mention all the special abilities you can get. And it was made by Wizards of the Coast and their usually pretty good at game making.

    My friends and I play Heroscape a decent amount. It's lots of fun, although we play with such large armies that games generally take at least a couple of hours.


    Other than that, there's that Betrayal in the House on the Hill...or whatever that bloody game is called. I always mix it up. But it gets pretty fun too.

    And the occasional Scrabble, or, when there's a group of us, Apples to Apples.

          i play chess mostly but i usually lack a partner. ive played many cardgames too, the most notable one being cribbage. i dont play many board games though i do own a few.

          i believe true kid is in the business of making board games though im not sure if any of his have sold.

              I'll play chess. Where do you play online at? I'd say I'm an above average player. I haven't been able to play much recently though.

              Risk and Monopoly are good games, but they often take way too long, therefore, they get old rather fast.

              Apples to Apples is a good game too. I did buy that one and the 4 expansion sets. Large groups are better.

              Mao is another card game Funk and I like to play when we can find a couple ringers. You can only learn the rules by breaking them and getting penalized for it. And everytime that you manage to empty your hand, you redraw and add a rule to the game not telling anyone else what it is until someone breaks it. Very evil little game, but lots of fun if you like to be frustrated.
