boardgames!

Carcasonne gets an airing every few weeks here. Great easy game, kids love it.

The races are intentionally unbalanced and that's part of the fun- that everyone gangs up against the powerful. In the games i've played it usually people with weak or mid ranking powers that win because they're not seen as a threat until its too late.

The older editions were REALLY unbalanced, the newer ones unbalanced but manageably so.

Have a set of creationary which is well above Sam's age group. Can't wait to break out the Legos

The problem with creatonary is that the things you're asked to create are either crap or impossible.

 

[8den]

So make new cards...

What do you mean you can't build "mother in law" out of lego?

I'm rather partial to Citadels, I love the art style and the underhanded roguery that can go with it (also watch out for quiet players, sneaky buggers)

Nice game that, good fun.

I'm interested, it seems like a more grown up take on Hero Quest, but it does have its fair share of critics - character power imbalance, rolling to move around a board, being forced to start the game from scratch after death, random resource allocation....

 

[Pingu]

its a good game. been playing it for 20+years now. yeah some of the characters are overpowered but you just learn how to play the cards you are dealt and weaker characters just gang up on the stronger ones.

warning... just like with munchkin you WILL find out who your real friends are with Talsiman

It IS a long game!

 

[october_lost]

Dominion is really awesome. Probably the best game I've played so far.

 

[fractionMan]

Munchkinquest arrived today

 

[belboid]

I used to love Totopoly.

not come across someone who's played Totopoly for decades! that incredibly thin middle sheet thing. Great game

I have a kinda updated version, but I can't remember what it's called, or where it is

Pandemic's great. Must play it sober one day.

Ticket to Ride is my other current favourite

 

[october_lost]

I'm sure some people will be buoyed by this.

[Kid_Eternity]

Yup there's some buzz on that. See also the new Star Wars figure skirmish game...

 

[Awesome Wells]

has anyone played Galactic Strike Force, from the makers of Sentinels of the Multiverse

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Quite like the look of Star Wars Armada too...

 

[Awesome Wells]

FFG pump out so much stuff, but I'm not convinced they allow for proper testing.

I do want Warhammer Conquest. I do not want to buy 3 boxes to have a full playset.

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Will be playing this tonight after work:

The DM warns us there may be up to an hour of explanation before we can get started...

 

[fractionMan]

we're playing smallworld at the moment. It's great fun and the kids understood it really quickly.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Seriously tempted by the re-release of Space Hulk but also Zombicide!

Zombicide is a collaborative game in which players take the role of a survivor ,each with unique abilities and harness both their skills and the power of teamwork against the hordes of unthinking undead! Zombies are predictable, stupid but deadly, controlled by simple rules and a deck of cards. Unfortunately for you, there are a LOT more zombies than you have bullets. Find weapons, kill zombies. The more zombies you kill, the more skilled you get; the more skilled you get, the more zombies appear. The only way out is zombicide! Play ten scenarios on different maps made from the included modular map tiles, or create your own!

• A zombie havoc boardgame
• Playing Time: 60 mins
• Ages 13 +
• 1-6 players

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

i own stupid amount of zombicide stuff having back all three kickstarter seasons

it's good but can get repetative. trying to work in house rules for campaigns is intresting.

season 3 looks to have more campain stuff in it but won't ship till febuary or so
