Bored Games

Duuuude. You've no idea! It has a serious wound chart where your head can explode or a bone shard pierces your heart. And going insane is often a good thing.

I may have to look further into this.

I may have to look further into this.

Don't do it! Base game is $400 and all expansions included is over $2k! I've got some crazy board games. I'll have to make a list.

Need to play them more. Anyone in Orange County, CA? Lol

Is shadowrun a board game though? I thought it was a pen and paper.

Pen and Paper games are considered a part of the tabletop genre, like board games. My favorite board game is still The Resistance but Shadowrun is by far my favorite tabletop game.

I really enjoyed Catan (cos I always win lol) and Exploding Kittens.
Wanna get my hands on the Dark Souls board game, just need to convince some friends to play with.

Is it just me that hates Catan with a passion? The resource acclimation is 100% random. I've gone games where I had no hope of winning because of that mechanic.

"I still play Pretend you're Xyzzy "

Never heard of this one.

That is a website that allows you to play a Cards Against Humanity clone for free


Also I have the knights and cities expansion to Catan. Never got around to break it out tho

But we are talking about board games, not tabletop games.

Little bit of randomness is fun though! Keeps you on your toes.

"Little bit" is fine, catan is pure randomness. I love games with a drafting pool of resources. Or ones that allow you to gamble for a chance of increased resources. But to make the entire game rely on the dice is just bad imo. I know a lot of people love it, but it never drew me in.

Too bad, I can say what I want and I did.

Talking about board games invites talk of any tabletop. It's the rule of thumb established on 1d4chan.

Well, picking your starting locations is key to Catan. Its more probability than randomness, I suppose.

Space Hulk is also a pretty solid board game. Been awhile since I played it though.

I've wanted to play that. I hear Blackstone Fortress is amazing too. But I won't throw 40k into the conversation even though it's a tabletop game.

Hey! Space Hulk is a board game set in 40k, perfectly on topic!

I know. So is Blackstone Fortress. But 40k would be my all time favorite if @Printimus would stop gatekeeping!

It's my thread, I'll cry if I want to!

Now you are a cry-catty.

Does that make him a wet pu...nevermind.

I see what you did there...
