AIBU to ask what your favourite board games are?

[purpleworms]

Other than Monopoly obviously

Needing some board game inspo for the upcoming colder months!

Ooh thank you all very much! I have lots of googling to do tomorrow

@NigelGresley I thought I'd gotten away with it. YANBU

@dangermouseisace that does sound like the type of monopoly I could get on board with

221b baker street
Scotland yard
Risk
Cluedo

I've bought the new Cheaters Monopoly for DS for Xmas.

Other games we love are

Carcasonne
Escape from Colditz
Careers (vintage 1960s game)
Ratrace (another old game)
Thunderbirds co-op play game

Clue
Trivial Pursuit
Monopoly
Backgammon
Yahtzee
Uno
The Ellen DeGeneres one that you play with your iPad in front of your face and your friends have to give you clues so you can figure out what's on your display (obvs. don't get to play it often!)

Exploding Kittens!
I liked Pandemic but DH complained it made me boss him around too much 🙄

Does Pictionary count? I'm so good at that.

Poleconomy

Monopoly, Articulate, Pictionary, Jenga and Risk. We also love bird bingo!

Followed by escape from Atlantis
Spy ring
Risk
Scoop
Go

Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, Cleudo.

Someone wanted a geography game. I love geography games! Who Knows Where is good. Also Mapominoes, there are packs for each continent I think. And the London Game is a race around the London Underground. I have Where is Moldova but never got around to playing it.

Ascension, Formula D and Talisman

Lots of favourites already mentioned:
Camel Up
Tikal
Ticket to Ride
Mysterium
Dixit

Santa v's Jesus.

I had a really good game of Mysterium with friends but then tried it on my parents and they could NOT handle that level of abstraction. Might be worth a look for some of you though.

More votes for Ticket to Ride and Carcassone

Also;
Survival: Escape from Atlantis
Forbidden Island
Dixit

Where is Moldova is good and has rules to make it playable with children and adults.

Cluedo

@MrsStrowman and @Moreisnnogedag we cant bring ourselves to tear up the cards. Dh just puts them “away” in a special box which they can never come out of again

We just played all the months from March to December over half term and by December I thought I was going to have a child it was so tense. I love how the board and characters change over each month of play and how the mystery behind what is actually going on slowly is revealed. Love how the story lines from Legacy 1 and Legacy 2 are connected too. Dh and I had a total OMG moment at around October's game. Can’t wait for Legacy 3.

@Terraforming Mars is really good. I prefer games where no one has to be destroyed for someone else to win and this suits me down to the ground. It’s really clever and immersive too. Has made me want to get it out and play it this weekend.

Best quick games for the pub in our family our Coup and Skull. Coup is just downright evil two faced lying and bluffing which dd2 excels at. Skull is so beautiful to play, the thick beer mat cards are so beautiful and the game is so simple and engaging but super competitive. Makes me laugh a lot.

Sorry that was to @ChairinSage re Terraforming Mars

Magic Labrinth
Different to Labrinth, but similar.

Scrabble, settlers, risk, logo loved mousetrap, ludo etc when dc younger. Not a board game but Uno is fab
