Tabletop games

[J_Dee]

Anyone played anything cool lately? =)

My group tried out the most recent edition of HeroQuest last night (I played the dwarf). We all rolled *insanely* bad all evening and didn't make it very far past the entrance before half of the party was killed. I still love it though -- it's much, much easier to set up and play than a lot of the other stuff we've got. XD

-I prefer abstract games, this one is what I've played most lately:

 

[Get Buckets]

What’s the general definition of a tabletop game?

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Is it on atari yet?

I played Redneck Monopoly a few weeks ago….wound up with 5 sons named Darrel…funny, but I’m sure the novelty would wear off quickly

 

[KyCatFan_rivals45723]

I ain't hatin'. I got a little nerd in me.

My boss is a huge gamer. He has a game room in his house with 200+ board games

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

Played ping pong (table tennis) with my kids last night. Does that count?

Board games, card games, RPGs, even ping pong like Kaizer says. My group most often plays 5E D&D, Magic (we draft from a huge cube of proxies, but I keep a Modern Boros deck too), and Texas Hold 'Em. One of our guys just spent a small fortune on Battletech stuff (I'm stealing his Atlas as soon as he paints it), and we played Taboo last week (it's great).

Oh also my board game loving boss says Monopoly is the worst game ever invented and I always joke with him that I’m gonna get him a special monopoly edition whenever I go out of town. He always says ‘sure, I could always use some kindling’

No, but I've been on a big crossword kick lately. That and Wordle are u0 my alley. HeroQuest looks like some nerdy goodness I could get into.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

I’m terrible at crosswords and sudoku.

 

[Get Buckets]

Played Rummikub recently. Enjoyed it.

Love crosswords and have played wordle. Games of any kind are good for the brain.

 

[Get Buckets]

Anyone ever played Mahjong?

 

[DoubleSecretProbation]

Axis & Allies

 

[roguemocha]

Last we played was Game Of Thrones board game and chess.

 

[J_Dee]

Everyone in my group paints their minis except for me. This is just a tiny example of their work. I neither enjoy painting, nor do I have the patience for it. Thankfully, they paint all of my stuff for me, because they love it.

 

[J_Dee]

Every HeroQuest mini's been painted, so I reckon that's what we're gonna be playing for at least the next month, whether we want to or not. XD

Klask & Binho are both Fantastic sporty/action games: Fam gambles for hours on these during holidays.

I bet RPG games don’t last very long at all. Just one move and the guy with the launcher wins.

In Call of Cthulhu, a direct hit with a LAW doles out a whopping 8d6 points of damage. A normal human has an average of about 9 HP, so one out of every 1,679,616 attacks, you're dead wrong. Well, not dead wrong, Severely wounded wrong, possibly missing a few limbs as well as several pints of blood wrong, but not dead wrong.

Diplomacy

I ran across that a while back and was intrigued. Might have to pull the trigger.

 

[LordEggForgotHisPassword_rivals]

Here are three riddles I wrote for my Friday D&D group. How many can you solve?

The first two don't require any knowledge of Forgotten Realms:

If you put a small fortress in front of me, I become 14.
If you put a small horse behind me, I become something you don't want.
I fall all over, but I never get hurt.
What am I?

The Underdark has one at its entrance.
Baldur's Gate has one near its center.
Alfair Run has one right before its exit,
And neither Waterdeep nor Candlekeep have any at all.
What am I?

The third one, however, does require knowledge of Forgotten Realms:

I covet wealth, but I hate gold.
I love chaos, but I hate the wilds.
I thrive in darkness, but I hate the moon and every star.
And I need water to live but I still hate every sea.
What am I?

2 is the letter “U” I think.

It is, and solving that riddle "rewards" the party with a fight with their dopplegangers via a Mirror of Opposition. Three "U"s leads to three "you"s.
