Favourite board or card games?

[vespertine]

Inspired by @Jark's Black Friday thread as I've gone a bit mental and bought 10 of them for when lockdown is over.

I love a good round of Codenames or Telestrations at a party.

As for cards, it's Euchre for me.

Still have no idea how to play Chess, or Monopoly for that matter.

Love Dixit! Both a card and a board game.

 

[KindaCool]

And also the classic Ludo. Guaranteed to have you calling lawyers by the end of it

Cards Against Humanity is fun but overdone. I did play a niche Jewish version of it a few weeks ago that was great

 

[Alex]

Ticket to Ride !

There’s an online one “quiplash” which is similar but SO much better as you can make up stuff yourself, CAH can be a bit TAME

Business Game/Mine A Million. Cards against Humanity obviously. Scrabble and Bananagrams.

Oh that sound fun (especially during a lockdown).

When I played Cards Against Humanity with my coworkers, I was the only one who knew what 2 Girls 1 Cup was, and my boss looked it up and I looked like a pervert

Coathanger abortions and Jade Goody's cancerous remains are obviously the trump cards in CAH.

 

[RJN]

Jade Goody's cancerous remains

I didn't realize that the game has different versions for different countries. Now I want to play UK cah

OMG we should make a Moopy version with FAMOUS TAGS.

 

[RJN]

Why are tags gone btw?

 

[lolly]

QUICK, DELETE RJN

 

[dmlaw]

Why are tags gone btw?

There was some unpleasantness. We don't talk about it.

 

[Kate]

@RJN WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN THE BRING BACK TAGS CAMPAIGN

 

[dmlaw]

Or, to reduce the probability of a massive pointless argument, how about a nice forum-wide game of Diplomacy?

 

[Indie]

Letters from Whitechapel
Love Letter
Pandemic
Settlers of Catan
Seven Wonders
Seven Wonders Duel

Probably more I've just forgotten

 

[RJN]

I was kidding

I’ve ordered Cards Against Humanity for Christmas. Looking forward to Grandmother Soldi making Maddie jokes

Yes to Pandemic and Catan, need to investigate the others

My mother asked me what "Pop that pussy" means when we were playing

Cards against humanity is a bit... lame. It can be good for the odd giggle I guess but the concept gets a bit old fairly quickly.

Pandemic is actually TWISTEDLY FUN to play during a pandemic. We've played it several times and lost EVERY SINGLE TIME (except when we cheated and we allowed Milan to go over the OUTBREAK LIMITS just for SHITS AND GIGGLES).

There's also the cards game Virus which is super fun and easy to pick up (much like a VIRUS badumtish).

I was obsessed with Obama Llama a few years ago.

Skull is quickfire and excellent.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

There is an online Cards Against Humanity app so we could organise a Moopy game sometime.

I regret typing these words into the ether already.

This. It's become something you do with work colleagues or 'new' people you don't really know all that well rather than close friends for me.

That said, well up for this!

I've always stanned Cluedo, probably because I love the idea of a femme fatale going on a killing spree in a big ol' mansion with a candlestick in one hand and her lippy in the other

however my favourite board game lately is TICKET TO RIDE, where you draw cards and use vague strategy to build connecting trains across Europe. it's TERRIBLY complicated and takes forever but it's all very pretty and I am notoriously obsessed with TRAINS

 

[dUb]

They paid Ireland DUST so I'm boycotting

 

[Tisch]

Cluedo is my go to on my phone when I don't have wi-fi (not that that ever really happens these days). I bought the official app from Hasbro and it's ace.

Has anyone played CAMEL UP. (or Camel Cup as I insist on calling it). Love it. Everyone I introduce it to ends up loving it too. Pretty sure it was a Spiel Des Jahres (always a good list to look at if you need new games in your life)

Yes. This is great fun.
