Feudal was my favorite board game in the 70s. It's a war game where you control armies that make chess-like moves. I had hours of fun. Stoned or sober. Still have it somewhere around the house.


...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

I got a copy of Viva Maus for my daughter. I love the look and the wooden pieces:

I like board games a lot. My friends aren’t too keen on them, though, so I’ve got to be sure to pick ones with a relatively gentle learning curve.

Ticket to Ride is a lot of fun. I’d like to play more of Settlers of Catan, I really enjoyed it the last time I played. I’ve got my eye on a game called Wingspan that’s highly regarded.

I recently got a fun solitaire card game called Onirim. Cool artwork:

Here's mine, we always play this as family at christmas time and it is a blast.




He he, can't believe you mentioned Labyrinth!   

Since is Summer here, and I'm at my parents' where we've spent all our vacations, I checked and there it is! stacked right with the others since I played it as a kid! ...surely it lacks some pieces, but I'm gonna check it out. :D

I was thinking of this one also since it's a great game but it's not really a board game imo. Pictionary is great too but also not a board game.

I should have written it as "Acey-deucey" which is a backgammon variant.

If it's "Trump: the Game" then you're fired.

 
I'm fired! I heard Trump say Monopoly is his favourite again, although I thought he would've preferred Risk. I'm eagerly awaiting the presidential edition of "Trump: The Game". Tongue


I'd love to play that game,and actually have wanted that Trump board game before.

I could not have expected it, but I would have loved a The White House Apprentice edition. I guess in that case it could be that the one to make it to the end would be the next POTUS.. The hopeful US President contestants would face a series of challenges to prepare them for the job, including raising campaign money (both in looking for donations and doing things like running ice cream stands for money which could be used towards paid advertising), running a successful campaign, organising rallies, and getting enough electoral college votes to be elected. I think Biden's board game might be called The Game of I May Seem Sleepy But I'm Woke. Just a bad joke.

Here 's a 2020 Biden vs. Trump board a game I saw advertised before (True Bid 2020 Political Battle)
