Board Games

[Blue Maverick]

I used to love Risk. Never played the version were you could attack under/through the board so you didn’t have to border the country you were attacking.

Mainly Cluedo and a few Christmas board games. I love them but my family less so so don't get to play them as often as I'd like.

Bought Ticket to Ride for christmas. Really good according to a thread I read on here a few years ago.

Schotten totten for a 2 player card game.

Got a bit of a love hate relationship with boardgames..we had 2 main ones in our house.
Scrabble is great, you get your own little pew or whatever it is to nestle your too many vowels on and you have to let all the other players know how bad your letters are (I think that's in the rules) yet without saying what they actually are (might not be in the rules, but it's at least bad etiquette)
There is also a bag, and most of the conversation is about passing the bag around. Where's the bag!? The downside is people just put S's on the end of words which is infuriating! I go and put Qualm down, and then someone puts an S on the end, they didn't even have to think up the world Qualm, probably didn't even think it was a real word, but they'll gladly put an S on the end and get more points than i got.
Monopoly, I like the pieces, especially the dog, my mum would always be the iron. I guess because she was the main ironer in the house.

If you played your Q and didn't benefit from a triple letter/word score then you deserve to have someone winning more points for making it plural. You should never waste a Q like that. Love Scrabble me.

This was my favourite as a kid.

I always enjoy playing board games. Some from my youth include:

Escape from colditz, Battle of the little Big Horn, Totopoly, Careers, Mine a million, Bucaneer and Spy Ring. I play Exploration with my 9 year old Grandson and he loves it. Its one of the few games were finishing first doesn't mean you've won, it's all about the money you've made.

Is CHULP a word? Are there any words with seven vowels, Dad? Can I have CATTING? Why not Dad, you said DOGGING was OK.

My kids got a Harry Potter version with some extra rules, and magical words are allowed. EXPELLIARMUS and HIPPOGRIFF are acceptable, but impossible to place from a seven letter rack.

It’s kind of a board game and it’s the GOAT

Settlers of Catan and 7 Wonders. I know it's a card game not a board game but Dobble is really fun too.
