Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I have a brother who I see only occasionally, and he loves Settlers. If I bring it to family gatherings, it's going to get played. So I leave it home, and deal with his disappointment.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I've been playing 7 Wonders a lot lately. It's a great game with four or five expansions. I don't have the expanoon but I'm sure I'll get them eventually.
I also played Thunderstone: Advance which is a deck building game that grows on you. You can play it solo. It's my favorite deck builder out of the four or five that I've tried. Also I got the latest expansion for Prophecy. I have yet to open it to look at all the Prophecy goodness but it promises to add some fun things to the base game. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I am looking for a couple of games to get OrcElfArmyOne for Xmas. Looking for 2 player strategy games that take between 30 min. to an hour to play, with not too much set up time. We really like summoner wars and heroscape. One game that looks promising is Battle Cry. If anyone here has played that, I would be interested in your comments. Any other suggestions?

Two expansions readily available (Leaders & Cities) and one that just debuted at Essen (Babel). There are a few promo cards as well. I have them all except Babel, and I love the game!
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide shot selection! Scaper of the Week #17 How to get to Skyknight's house: Drive to the red light, then call him. |

Two player dueling games we like: Ascension (deckbuilding) BattleCON Devastation of Indines (hand to hand combat theme) Yomi (hand to hand combat card game) Hull Breach! (space combat direct conflict card game) Star Realms (space combat deckbuilding/direct conflict) I recommend all five of those to people who like SW & 'Scape. They all fit in your time frame and work best (or only) with two. I could keep going, and maybe I will, but that's a start. |

Great Dad Scaper,
Many thanks. Will check those out. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Sure thing. Speak up if you want more ideas. Ask for details about those (or others) if you're interested. I also *really* like Race for the Galaxy, maybe more than any of the above. There's an excellent 3 part YT series on how to play it. Look it up; it may be just the thing. Some people (like KidScaper) don't like it, though, so check out the videos first.
The videos show a 3 player game, but I think it works great at 2. |

Dragon Ruler,
Battlecry 150th Anniversary Edition is great, and an improvement on the original. Plus, the fan site now doubles the already large amount of scenarios in the game. If you go to the B150 boardgamegeeksite, you can see my Guide To The C&C Games of Richard Borg. |

I second BattleCON and Star Realms. Ascension is really good also, but DC Comic Card game replaced it in our rotation. It all depends on what theme you are looking for. |

@Matthias Maccabeus
would say Dragon Dice.
@stubobj
would say Marvel Dice Masters. They are both worth mentioning.
Also the D&D Attack Wing and Star Wars Attack Wing (or whatever it's called) miniatures games are similar & both worth mentioning for 2 players in this time frame, IMHO. Though I'm not that familiar with any of the games in this post. |

Also any of the LCG by FFG: A game of Thrones, Star Wars, Warhammer Invasion. Battleball? Omen:Reign of War Battle Cry, Battle Lore, and Memoir 44 are all good. Dragon Dice Mage Wars (though that's a 2 hourish range) Battle for Hill 218 Drako A Few Acres of Snow (though that's prob 2 hoursish as well) Pocket Battles Marvel Dice Masters Dragon Dice - (the 2nd best game there is) Learn to Play! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h3q6...wujcr8vVf8e21G Last edited by Matthias Maccabeus; November 3rd, 2014 at 04:21 PM.
