The Boardgames Thread / Board games

Totopoly is another.

Right so it's winter, time for boardgames next to the fire again.

Played another game of First To The Line with Oliver recently, still great.

Just bought this: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=174

Which was ace. Looking forward to playing it again.

This is awesome:

I'd love to try that.

I tried using that as an example of how to create a seller based on an established license. I think it is brilliant. You start with just the basics and everybody knows you will follow up with more stuff: TIE interceptors, Y-wings, B-wings and more.

This is awesome:

Okay so when can we play it?

I'd love to try that.

And you can. One evening this week? And you're right, they've already released new ships with new rules, etc... not sure how interested I am in that, but the core set plays well with simple rules.

You flying to Helsinki, man?

Haha, if you're paying... had no idea. Well if you can find a stockist over there I'd say it's worth it.

Yeah. Have been planning to get the game.

Just that I recently bought the 25th anniversary edition of Battletech and have not had time to play even that yet.

RISK - is it any good?

Does the pope shit in the woods??

Of course RISK is good!

I bought it for my brother, I'll go see if I can find a copy on the cheap. Zombies!

I was addicted to the Battletech Card game as a kid, more so than anything else. Lost my deck years ago, despite having spent a small fortune on it.

Never tried the card game, but did play the tabletop one. From what I've understood this new edition is almost identical to the original one. I will soon see if the mechanics have stood the test of time.

Quite many games have gone through several rules revisions. And they have benefitted from them.

Played huge number of board games as a student, then kind of fell out of the habit after leaving Uni, movig away etc.

Risk, Diplomacy, Settlers, History of The World, Talisman, Illuminati, Enemy in Sight, Sherlock Holmes, Fluxx and many others I can't remember now.

If there is a regular(ish) games night in the offing I'd love to come along.

We should definitely get something going for the winter. Previous attempts haven't been very successful.

Hm ... list?

Settlers of Catan, Creationary and Agricola have just arrived, and hopefully some more soon, the holidays are coming. The holidays

Although no one is in to share the new board game smell

I'd be up for Catan in the new year.

Anyone free Saturday day for a meetup?

Played this last night, suprisingly good monopoly type game

Ben, sorry, unfortunately I can't make Saturday, as I have a meeting 11-3ish. I'd love to get together for a session sometime soon.

Just got Carcassonne for the ipad. Love it. I'm photoben on the game centre.

I have the Collector's Edition of the old computerisation (before they sold the rights to the big boys). I also have the full real game (all expansions). Care to play? ;)

Definately. Though I'm still a noob.
