Board Games

You know the drill.

One of my favorites is Parcheesi.
It takes some decent thinking ahead. It doesn't take hours to finish. And presents ample opportunities to absolutely f*** each other over, so that hard feelings are almost unavoidable.

All the key elements of a great board game.

One of my favorite board games was from the 70s. Dealer's Choice. Loved that game.

Never played that (wish I had) but it reminded me of the cult classic, Used Cars, with Kurt Russell. LOL

One of the best. Unknown classic for many. Watch it at least once a year.

Do people still play board games?

I get the whole ****ing people over angle. We just do it digitally now.

If they're not (playing board games) they're missing out. IMO.

Meh. The latter half of gen X went to pounding people online. Check out EU4 and other paradox games.

I think you miss the point of the thread. Has nothing to do with modern times. Maybe I'm wrong.

Probably. Wouldn't be the first time.

My group played Cthulhu: Death May Die last weekend. It's very well-made, but it's really difficult (in two games, we barely got anywhere), and there are plenty of other, better co-op Cthulhu board games available.

Risk 2210, Lords of Waterdeep, Star Wars: Imperial Assault, Chess, and Scrabble are probably my top favorites.

This randomly triggered a memory of an old school parody video I saw years ago. NSFW language, you are forewarned.

Took forever to set up.

I have a bookshelf edition of Stratego. Complete waste of money. Nobody will play me.
