Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Just completed Pandemic Legacy Season 1 February and March with the wife! After an extremely difficult January in which we barely won the 'late' game, it was nice to have two months go relatively smoothly, winning both on the first try. It'll be interesting to see how April goes with 0 Funding...

When introducing games to someone I try to mix up the types of games until I find one that clicks with that person. My wife played a lot of Heroscape with me and was a good sport about it, even participating in tournaments with me, but it wasn't her favorite kind of game to play. When I would try similar games like X-Wing Miniatures Game or Summoner Wars she would play them, but she wasn't really engaged and never requested them. She has a knack for identifying and exploiting efficiencies in games and she is very good at and really enjoys engine building games from deck building like Dominion and Ascension to worker placement like Lords of Waterdeep and Viticulture. She also likes puzzles a lot and Patchwork and Karuba have been hits in our house. I say all this just as an observation as I've put different games on the table for my family and friends and many hit and some don't. It's fun to see what different people get and enjoy. I've never played Kingdom Builder so I can't speak to what could be a similar next game to move to from there, but if you can figure out what your wife really likes about it, it could help in figuring out a next good game. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Gaming 2017
I'm definitely an Ameritrash player to the core. I play a lot of card games because they are quicker typically than other games. 1. Pathfinder ACG - (63 plays) Still enjoying this after all these years. 2. Magic the Gathering - (46) My son likes playing. I still enjoy it but have found other games that scratch the same itch and I like better. 3. Spot it - (44) The family game of choice. My 5 year old loves this one. 4. Lotr LCG - (42) My go to solo game. This game is still great. 5. Ashes - (39) Just discovered this game this last year. I like it way better than magic and my oldest daughter really digs it. 6. Hero Realms - (38 ) I like the theme way better than Star Realms. Plus the solo campaign aspect is just awesome. 7. Apocrypha - (26) Another take on Pathfinder ACG but with a modern(ish) day approach. 8. Aventuria ACG - (22) Another take on the ACGs. I like this one because there is a slight RPG aspect. 9. Epic - (21) Another game I just discovered this year and like better than Magic. 10. Marvel Legendary (19) Never been a big fan because I feel like the game doesn't define some mechanics well but my son loves it and it is super heroes so... 10. Heroscape (19) The Greatest Game of All Time!! 12. Descent (17) The greatest dungeon crawl of all time. 13. Dragon Dice (15) 4 Time World Champion, that's right 4 time. This would see more play if there were more people that played it locally. All my guys are tired of losing...sigh....World Champion Problems 9 plays each -Dragonfire - The jury is still out. Not a huge fan of the leveling system but I haven't played with any of the expansions yet. I'm hoping they help. 8 plays each -One Deck Dungeon - Great quick little dungeon delving game -Myth - An unpolished but still fun dungeon crawl / story game 6 plays each -Arcadia Quest - My family enjoys this with the pets expansion. Biggest complaint is the set up and tear down time. 5 plays each -Forbidden Island - My go to introduction to non-gamers game. -Xenoshyft - Tower defense type game. Play it on the ipad a lot more. 4 plays each -Batman Love Letter - Like Love Letter but with Batman! -Sword and Sorcery - Really enjoying this dungeon crawl. Just a lot of set up and tear down involved. -Massive Darkness - Killing monsters and looting in great fun. Unfortunately the campaign doesn't seem to work that well. -Brave Rats - Fun little card game for 2 players. 3 plays each -X-Wing - Sigh, Just did not like the direction the game was going with all the errata and FAQ. Plus I was going to have to sell a kidney to keep up with it price wise. -Dominion - This surprised me, this is my wife's favorite game. But this year has been surprisingly busy. -Kingdom Death Monster - I like the idea, but definitely not the art or theme -Battle Masters - Childhood Nostalgia! -Marvel Codenames - Good party style game. -Legacy of Dragonholt - Choose your own adventure style game. RPG light. I'm actually enjoying it. 2 plays each -Sheriff of Nottingham - Fun bluffing game. Needs to hit the table more often! -Heroquest - The annual Father's Day gaming with the kids! -Sorry - My kids like it. -Space Hulk Death Angel - Captures the Space Hulk universe well. Good game too! -Thunderstone - Still enjoy pulling this one out from time to time. -Mistfall - Fun adventure card game but can get very mathy. -Arkham Horror LCG - The game is almost to the point where I feel like I can make a few decent decks. I haven't played it much because I really don't like the quality of cards for some of the heroes. -Unlock - Involves a lot of thinking. -Dark Souls - Hard game and a bit long, but decent. -Darkest Night - Just needs minis and it would be great. -Lost Legends - This one got bad reviews and I thought the game was actually decent overall. 1 play each -Chess - I usually play my brother once a year over the holidays. -Tokaido - No thanks. -Quicksand - Fun little race to the end game. -Flash Point - Fireman Coop game. -Dungeon Roll - Push your luck with a dungeon theme -Gruff - A Goat card combat game. Pretty cool actually! -Forbidden Desert - Similar to Forbidden Island but much harder. -Carcassonne - Have some Euro neighbors...sigh -Yggdrasil - I remember when I lost all the time in this game. Now I win all the time so it isn't a fun. -Defenders of the Realm - Better than Pandemic. -Claustrophobia - A great 2 player dungeon crawl. -King of Tokyo - Another great gateway game. -Too Many Bones - I think this is the one game that I'm kicking myself the most for not buying at Gen Con. -Welcome to the Dungeon - Push your luck game. -Colt Express - Fun screw your neighbor game. -Qwirkle - The kids like it. -Dresden Files Card Game - Played with Raider30. The game was fine but I never got into the Dresden files so the theme was lost on me. -Devastation of Indines - I got walloped but it was fun. -Cards of Cthulhu - I liked this game solo. Not sure how it would do with multiplayer. -Hoplomachus - I liked the theme and mechanics quite a bit but I'm still not sold on the whole poker chip thing. -Temple of Elemental Evil - DnD dungeon crawl. It was a lot harder than I remember from when I used to play these all the time. -Mage Wars - Still love this game but it takes way too long. Ashes seems to scratch the same itch. -Legend of the 5 Rings - Not a fan. -Star Wars Minis - The annual daughter birthday game. -Sentinels of the Multiverse - This is a very misleading number. I probably play this minimally 3 times a week on my ipad. Best superhero game out there IMHO. -Imperial Assault - The app has breathed new life into this! Dragon Dice - (the 2nd best game there is) Learn to Play! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h3q6...wujcr8vVf8e21G Last edited by Matthias Maccabeus; January 2nd, 2018 at 01:20 PM. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Hey, all. I'm looking for a recommendation for a very particular thing: a cooperative game that can be played online, multi-platform. Any suggestions?
As for what I've been playing lately, my father visited over the kids' Christmas break. I showed him Century, the Golem Edition, and he loved it. Over his visit we also played his old favorite Ticket to Ride, and also Bohnanza and something else at the tip of my brain but I can't remember what it was. On our trip to New York I finally bought Sushi Go, which was a *huge* hit. We also played the heck out of Say Anything, because it's that kind of crowd, and AEG's Straw. Anyway. Any suggestions for a cooperative 2 player game that can be played online and multi-platform? |

Heh heh. That sounds great, but it's not a suggestion for the thing I was looking for.
