Favorite board game?

[tonksy]

We just returned home from dinner at HomeLAN's where after we ate we retired for a lovely game of Rummikub, which Rob and I had never played before. I love the card game rummy so this was a natural. I need to procure it.

Besides that I love Scrabble, Upwords, and Balderdash. Ya'll?

 

[tonksy]

Oh! And Pass The Pigs.

Chess here.

...and Scrabble, Monopoly, Risk. Does dominoes count?

 

[JTP]

Or should that be Dodominoes count...as he pulls out the corkscrew and 3rd bottle of Merlot...

 

[tonksy]

Dominoes do count. I enjoy a game of dominos but no one I know plays.

[tonksy]

Argue looks good! You are welcome to come play Candyland with my girls any time.

I LOVE Candyland! I have the VHS game (it's at my mom's house)!

I also love scrabble, monopoly, clue, sorry.

I grew up playing Yahtzee, making the score sheets on sheets of binder paper instead of the official score sheets, so we could fit 12 or so games on one piece of paper for a lot less money than the official sheets that had six games per sheet.

Where exactly does the board come in playing Yahtzee?

Speaking of HL's entertainment value, I picked up a Farkle set for V2.0 this year. Now it's been inflicted on everyone.

Yahtzee!

Where exactly does the board come in playing Yahtzee?

Good question. I like Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit (I'm really good at that one), Risk and chess. Note that I haven't really played chess seriously since college. Re non-board games (i.e. Yahtzee) I enjoy Yahtzee and Pigmania.

 

[tonksy]

It appears Pigmania is the same as Pass The Pigs. Funny, never heard it called Pigmania.

 

[chcr]

I'll take a pic of the box.

 

[tonksy]

I googled it. The concept is the same.

balderdash

monopoly

 

[MrBishop]

On the more 'old' style board game, I'd say Chess, Chinese checkers, Go, and Avalone.

Mid to new games - Diplomacy, Supremacy, & Risk
