The Blackangel Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 NOTE: Monopoly is not an option for this question. What is you number one board game on both ends of the spectrum? My absolute favorite board game if all time is Dragon Strike. I love running it as Teraptus. But if I’m not running it, then I have to play a thief. But the game I stay as far away from as I can get, is Risk. I’m not a good sport with that one. I don’t know why, but that game brings out the absolute worst in me as far as games are. So for that reason alone, I refuse to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARx182 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I have never heard of Dragon Strike... Also, why is Monopoly not an option? It is my favourite board game, but since it's not an option, I'll go with Ludo. It's really fun to play with family. My least favourite is probably snakes and ladders - it's boring.

The Blackangel Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 I wanted to eliminate Monopoly as an option because everyone either loves it or hates it. It's too obvious a choice, and would dull the conversation. So for that reason, Monopoly is void. I've never heard of either of those games. I've heard of Chutes & Ladders, but not Snakes & Ladders. Unless you're making fun of it by tweaking the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) I remember Hero Quest. That game was awesome. It's similar to Dragon Strike. One of the coolest things about Dragon Strike was that it came with a really cool video. Edited October 7, 2020 by The Blackangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I love board games! One on one I have to say Chess. More players, I would say Life and Risk. I bought a 4 player chess set for my sister a while back, but never played it. Have to try it one day. I also have Risk on my PS2. I don't really have a least favorite.

ARx182 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Chess completely slipped out of my mind. Chess is definitely up there with my favourites, maybe even my favourite. I love the thinking and competitiveness in chess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I've always despised Snakes & Ladders for some reason. On the other hand, I do like chess (I do like a strategic game to keep the old brain ticking). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Although, I'm not really that much into playing board games but I do have an exception for PANDEMIC BOARD GAME. This is because of it's relationship with what the world faces at the hands of coronavirus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I've played quite some games in 2021, but I've been around playing motorcycle GP more often than others. Another which I am devoting more time to, it's simply RDR2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering if anyone wouldn't be kind enough to mention Chess board games. The level of thinking it pushes me to do whenever I play it really educates me.

Withywarlock Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I tend to like Scrabble myself as English is my strong suit, and it's really the only board game I play. I don't think I know anyone who would really be into longer games such as Risk or Settlers of Catan. And despite it not an option I'm fine with Monopoly when I'm in a group that plays it correctly; if it's video game themed, all the better (I loved the Pokémon one years ago.) As for least favourite, again, I don't play enough to say. KerPlunk used to be a favourite but it was incredibly noisy and I couldn't deal with the sensory Hell today. And games like Mouse Trap take too much time to set up, and the pieces were easily lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I've not gotten in with the board games yet, the options I saw around here are looking great k might try my hands on them sooner especially the 'pandemic option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
