Board/Card Games

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

We played a game called Sushi Go! this weekend with our family that was visiting. Pretty fun and easy game if you've got several people of different ages/abilities.

I own that, but have only played it once.

There's also Sushi Go! Party which allows variations of the rules, also pretty fun.

For 2-person games, my partner and I have been loving 7 Wonders: Duel and Castles of Burgundy.

Sagrada's a really pretty and fun, quick game to play.

Been playing the card version of Monopoly and it's way more fun than the real game, mostly because the games are usually over in 15-20 minutes and no one argues about the "right" way to play.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

are you talking about monopoly deal?

Boy I really really hate Yahtzee. Like, I won't even entertain the idea of playing it.

We got Catan for Christmas and we enjoy it, just not sure if we're playing it right.

Anyone played the game Small World?



Can't get over the complication of even setting it up. Just seems like there's a lot there before you can even really get the game going.

[wease]

Yahtzee is fucking awesome

[Simple Torture]

Yeah where the hell is this unprovoked hostility for Yahtzee--top 5 game ever--coming from?

i have "friends" who play these type games all the time...i used to join in, but kept turning down invitations so now i'm no longer invited

it always took me like half the game to figure out what i was doing, so i don't really mind

[bune]

OK, how is yahtzee a good game for you? It appears to me to be more luck-based than skill.

The skill comes in knowing when to play certain rolls in the right place.

[bune]

So I'm guessing this is a 'get gud noob' situation.

[wease]

Yahtzee!
