Beocat Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Mine was Scrutineyes. I love the english language and I know a lot of words.... it was my sister's game but she hated playing it with me (I always won...). It is quite a challenge and it will make you think. You have to have fast recall, be observant, and be able to write fast. Needless to say, when she got married she left it behind at my parents place and it found a home with me in my house she doesn't care. She doesn't like mental challenges. After that, Risk and Chess, in that order. Scrutineyes on Amazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrutineyes on Amazon Can't say I am a expert at this one never was a word game person, but I have played this once, or twice when I was growing up at holiday events with family. The link you provided leads to an error page I am guessing Amazon removed the item listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leinwandname Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 We didn't have many board games at home, but I loved the few we had like Scrabble, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, etc. ... I think I liked Scrabble the most however, I moved to mostly play card games like Magic the Gathering for non-video games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viruxx Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) And three years later....... My favorite board games are probably King of Tokyo and Carcassonne. I'm looking forward to getting my recently purchased copy of Hive Carbon, as it's like a lighter version of chess with insects that lasts about 20ish minutes. I also enjoy playing some Catan. If you're looking to annihilate relationships with everyone in your gaming circle, Survive - Escape from Atlantis is a great choice for going about it.

Not quite decades, but it's been a few years. I'm probably rusty at all the games I mentioned above by now, except for Hive. That one's new to me..... so I guess that would be about the same effect as being rusty, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kōyamaki Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Not sure what my favorite one is but, I always enjoyed playing "WWF Wrestling Challenge" when I was growing up. Haven't played it in decades. I love the roster too - it had Jake the Snake, Mr. Perfect, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man, even Earthquake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animedragon Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 1829, the Railway Game. The game is played on map of Southern England and Wales which is divided into a hexagonal grid. It's a complex game but the basic idea is that players become directors of railway companies, lay track, buy trains, run a service and collect fares. The money raised can either be kept by the director or paid as dividend to any of the other players who have shares in the company. The choice affects the company's share price. Actually the game play is much more complicated than that, and you never really know who has won until the end after everyone has added up the value of the shares they own and the cash they have. I haven't played it for decades mainly because the people I played it with have moved away and none of us really have time to spend up to 10 hours playing a board game.

Monopoly was at one time the game my family played when we all got together every Christmas. It was eventually banned because it caused too many heated arguments, especially when someone built hotels on Mayfair and Park Lane with the deliberate intention of bankrupting everyone else.

Wild Emotion Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Yeah. Monopoly was fun, but I never really understood the rules. I've had that problem a lot with board games. It takes some extra effort to teach me something. That one game, "Sorry!" was really fun, but I took it personally a lot of the time. I can't remember any other board games we used to play though.

Animedragon Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 All this talk of board games reminds me of the times I and a group of my friends would gather at one of our houses to play board games. It would always be the day before a Bank Holiday and we'd meet up at about 8 or 9 pm and play until 2 or 3 am, which is why it had to be a day before a Bank Holiday. I've no idea now why we did this, but we were young(ish) and somehow playing board games until 2 or 3 in the morning seemed the right thing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went out of fashion mainly because there was one guy who was a Seriously Bad Loser, he didn't just tip the board over when he lost he launched the board and all the pieces into orbit and their various re-entry trajectories scattered them all over the room! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since a king can't move onto a square where they would be in check, then the other king can if say a bishop or other piece is lined up with that square, even if it's right next to the opponent's king. Though if they block the line the other king may escape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
