After PL's thread on god type computer games and the mention of a board game in there it got me thinking.
I love board games but these days dont find time to play games such as Monopoly and Risk as they can be time consuming and others who i can play with just don't have the same interest any more.
So do any of you still like to partake in a good stint on a board game confused:
And
Which is your favourite :?:
Scrabble!
That's when I can persuade Mrs Kiss to humour me or find some other person willing to play.
The funny thing is I'm not that good because I'm dyslexic, I do enjoy playing though and I also enjoy discovering words that I didn't previously know.
I also love Trivial Persuit as I'm a mind of useless information and it's good to put it to some use.
Yes maybe the problem isnt so much the time but finding others at the right moment and mood to have a game

Exactly... playing Scrabble instead of going out to the pub isn't exactly cool. lol
Not quite a board game
But
Strip Jenga is good lol
Havent played scrabble since I left home - my ex was dyslexic.
Played Monoploy though :shock:
Where do you want to start?
I've played board games of various sorts for years, and even briefly had a job demonstrating (playing) them at gaming conventions around the UK. I'm a big fan of German board games and Cheapass Games from the US (they're really cheap as they don't contain dice, counters or other stuff like that which you've probably already got several sets of in other games). A list of favourites (in no particular order):
Settlers of Catan (and variants)
Carcassonne (and variants, I actually prefer Carcassonne: Hunters & Gatherers)
Nuclear War (and it's expansions, Nuclear Proliferation and Nuclear Escalation)
Block Mania (esp. with the Mega Mania expansion)
From the Cheapass Games range:
Lord of the Fries
US Patent No. 1
The Great Brain Robbery
Kill Dr. Lucky
I love Trivial Persuit.
I will never forget just about wetting myself playing the family edition and a younger family member answering the question...
"What 'S' is a traditional grass clearing tool carried by Death"
with...
"Strimmer"

Cranium it great. Our nephew got it last xmas and Mrs Kiss and I played the ‘dutiful aunts’ role and agreed to play along as all the proper grownups were having the post boxing day supper snooze.. Much to our surprise we loved it, I think he got bored long before we did! :lol:

I'll teach ya. :twisted:
No seriously, download a poker site. Join up then you can play for free play money. Most of the sites have freerolls everyday, where you can win cash and play it for free. Also theres loads of poker channels on tv now, which are great to learn from and there also very entertaining.

Yep, I love board games too. In our house, we tend to play:
Scrabble (where Sappho is almost unbeatable)
Trivial Pursuit
Mousetrap (I know it's childish, but I love it!)
I also love Monopoly and Risk, but we don't seem to have the time for those anymore.
I also adore Backgammon, but can't find anyone else to play with - so I end up playing on my mobile phone redface
Do I sense an SH games weekend coming on?
