Re: Best tabletop games
I'm a pretty basic boardgamer and the basic response to this question is Settlers of Catan but I love it so much. Of course chess is a classic but one I'm trash at.
Also I appreciate how your response is both an invitation to participate and an answer in itself.

Re: Best tabletop games
I played some Game of Thrones and although I have never watched anything related with the series I enjoyed it. I also like new Monopolies with credit cards and stuff, I used to play the ones in which it would get boring after initial purchases, so mechanics like exchanging properties from chance cards are awesome!

Re: Best tabletop games
Do card games also count as tabletop games?
Just one more game of AoE then I'll go to bed.

NPR did a nice bit not necessarily on Diplomacy but Diplomacy is the focus for the first 20 min. They even take an actual US diplomat to play in the Diplomacy World Championships as a ringer. There's a lot of sound clips. It's pretty neat!

Re: Best tabletop games
When we play Risk the game doesn't end. Whenever someone gets ahead everyone else allies against them until it's even again. It's kind of like AoE3 FFAs except in Risk you can't die.umeu wrote:obviously Risk. which incidentally i will be playing tonight

Re: Best tabletop games
That's where diplomacy comes in! To manouver your allies in such a way that they don't realise you are secretly getting your objective! or, just conquer australia and turtle.

YES, YES, A THOUSAND TIMES YES.
Easily my favorite board game of all time. It's a shame I don't have the opportunity to play more often.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
Re: Best tabletop games
Yeah, Risk is big hype but kinda meh in the end. Cards against humanity I played only once and oh, boi, was it a pleasure! We've never laughed so hard together with friends before!

Re: Best tabletop games
i played both yesterday, and i must say i found CaH a bit underwhelming. I suppose you really need to have the right mix of people or be on the road to drunkenness. Risk however, good as always, specially cuz i win all the time.
i also like trivia games such as 30 seconds, or trivia. pictionary is also a garantueed laugh, when people get upset about "how do you mean that's an fucking ostrich?! THATS A FUCKING FURRY STICK IN THE GROUND. THIS... THIS IS AN OSTRICH!!!"
