Re: What board game is your favorite?

I'll add a couple more in categories.

A filler game is one that takes a few minutes to play. It's not, by itself, an evening's worth of entertainment, but it's a great way to blow off steam between headier, more time consuming games.

Extra credit games (hooray for making up terms) are higher level ones, suitable for gamers but not suitable for trying to teach to non-gamers on Game Night 1.

Filler: Zombie Dice
Extra Credit: Race for the Galaxy

I'm a big fan of both these games in their categories. One day I'll be able to play RftG as often as I'd like, for the moment KidScaper's my only eligible opponent and he's still a little intimidated by the depth.

Re: What board game is your favorite?

1. Heroscape ( it's been my #1 game since it came out )

after that there is no clear cut second or third:

Agricola - could be second, but I hate the time it takes to set up the game (other than the set up it would be number 2)

others that fall in right after Heroscape

Kingsburg
Alhumbra
Wits & Wagers
Settlers of Catan
Power Grid

Depending on who is playing - Ticket to Ride and other similar games would also make the top 5.


For CARD GAMES - Summoner Wars is moving to the head of the pack !

Re: What board game is your favorite?

Here is my current top 10 list on Boardgamegeek.
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklis...-december-2010
I plan on making a new list every 3 months, so my next will be in March. I'll add one more position each time so I will have 11 spots. I suspect Pandemic will be off my list and Ad Astra and Descent will be added to it. I don't know why I don't have Descent on it right now though really. I guess only because I have yet to actually finish a game of it and I don't own it, haven't even read the rules.

My first place item will likely never stray from that spot.

Re: What board game is your favorite?

I have too many favourites to remember.

Heroscape is the game that I would take with me to a desert island, if I was only allowed to take the one game.

Other great games I would buy again if my collection vanished in a puff of smoke would include Agricola, Dominion (I'll finish a big wooden carrying case for every card published for the big D some time this week), Power Grid, Steam, Olympus, Race For The Galaxy, Innovation, Roll Through The Ages, Army of Frogs, Loopin' Louie, The Resistance, Pandemic and Around the World in 80 Days. Some light games, some heavy games, some mass-market games and some quite niche games in that list.

Q - "Are you one of those people who does The Times crossword puzzle in 10 minutes?"

A - "I have NEVER taken 10 minutes!"
