Title: Board and Card Games!
Post by: Lhianneth on May 01, 2017, 02:52:55 PM
Does anybody here play board or card games on a regular basis? My partner, our friends, and I generally get together once or twice a month to play board games together, and we're always looking for new and interesting games. Between the lot of us, we have a wide variety, but there's always something new (or old!) we might've missed.

The kinds of games we generally enjoy a wide range, depending on moods.

For casual, relaxed nights:
Dominion
Settlers of Catan
Fluxx
Cards against Humanity
King of Tokyo
Smash-up

For more intensive/long-term gaming:
Lords of Waterdeep
Game of Thrones
Nightfall
Arkham Horror/Eldritch Horror
Battlestar Galactica

So what's your favourite game to play? Monopoly? Carcassonne? Agricola? Snakes and ladders?

Genuinely would like to hear what the Arena members play when they get out the boards, cards, and dice! :)

I play Magic: The Gathering and Settlers of Catan with my friends frequently! I really want to get into more board games and learn how to play D&D as well.

We go through phases where we will play a new game to death and then it enters the rotation, lol.  The most played of the rotation would be Farkle, PIT, and UNO.

Here are things we've played recently during game night:
Ticket to Ride
Settlers of Catan
Outbreak
Battle Wizards (I especially like this one because I always win :biggrin:)
Joking Hazard
Yahtzee
Oregon Trail card game
Llamas with Hats: Hungry for Hands

We have other games, but those seem to be the main-stays.

My friends really like Magic, but I don't play. We also do DnD but I'm not in the current campaign that my husband is running. I haven't played for a while because there are already so many friends in the party that I don't want to add to the confusion. :lol:

Also, not really any games that fall into the board, card, and/or dice categories, but my bestie has the Jackbox games on her Steam account, and we'll hook her laptop up to our TV and play those. We love Drawful and Fibbage especially! What's really cool is you can have people join the room online and watch the games without participating.

I'm getting a new card game soon that I backed on Kickstarter, it's called Pretending to Grownup. I hope it's as fun as it looks and that it becomes a main-stay game for our friends.

My boyfriend has a HUGE board game collection :)

The last games we played are Clank and Love Letter.

Some of my favourites are: Arkham Horror (card game), Castles of Burgundy and Terra Mystica.

I tend to prefer Euro/worker placement games over dice rolling games.
