Me and my mates play alot of boardgames (or games for that matter), most recently Arkham Horror and Magic: The Gathering. Over the past two years or so we've played Risk, Arkham Horror, Catan, Carcassonne and Lord of the Rings boardgame to name a few. Arkham Horror and Catan probably being my favorite. So what are Giant Bombers' favorite boardgames and do you play alot of boardgames? Also, what are your thoughts on videogame-based boardgames?
Favorite boardgame?
Escape from Atlantis because it has Seamonsters, Giant octopuses and Sharks! and Lost Valley of the dinosaurs because it had a huge plastic volcano , a bunch of dinosaur figures and a Pteradon with moveable wings!
My favorite board game is probably Le Havre. The other contender is Agricola...both are designed by the same guy and share many mechanics.
Favorite card game is Race for the Galaxy or Tichu.
For Co-op I play quite a lot of Arkham Horror and Pandemic.
I honestly play more board games than I do video games anymore.
Ooh, Arkham Horror! My brother recently bought this (and one of the expansions), and we all got together for a game. It was amazingly fun! Looking forward to giving it another shot.
While these responses are not shocking I wish more people played board games beyond what is offered at your local toys r us.
Sure there is a place for Risk, Monopoly, and Scrabble but there are games out there that I imagine most video gamers would love if only there was an option to try them.
whiles on the topic, for fans of the Angry Video Game Nerd ( James Rolfe ) you may wanna check out his other project Board James.
Even though I have never had people to play it with, I guess I would say Risk. Chess coming in a close second.
"Holy shit! That is the greatest thing I have ever seen!
Yeah... that's right. Friendships are destroyed over this game. "
