What's the best for a family with older teens? A family where only the father is really into magic and mystical stuff. He's a dork.
Picked up the Europe 1942 second edition.
I think, and i could be wrong, but i think he was just trying to find a game that seemed appropriate for the intellectual level of someone who would come into a board game thread and indicate that they believe all board games are for dorks.
I never stated that. I only clicked on the link provided, saw that most of the games involved magic, monsters, or spaceships, and asked a question. And I don't think board games are for dorks, in fact I'm looking for a good one for the family. Just one that everyone can relate to (not just dorks).
Most don't include magic or monsters or spacechips.
Love Axis and Allies. I've played probably 50+ games of it. My dad was a huge board game guy while he was in college and thus my brother and I became big board game guys, as we played all the time growing up.Todem said:
You don't have to buy it either.
Red Dragon Inn is pretty light and easy to pick up. There are a bunch of additional versions. If you want to play with more than 4 people you'll need to pick up an additional version(each version plays 4). I've played with 8 and we really enjoyed it.Chalice is another game that is easy to learn and fun with a group at a night of drinking.
I landed a few great ones for Christmas with Target and Amazon deals - Small World, Ghost Stories, Betrayal at House on the Hill, 7 Wonders. Should be loads of fun.
Tsuro. I've only played with four but it can handle up to 8. With 4 it only lasts 10-15 minutes - with 8 it will be a 10 minute game with pure chaos and laughter as one player leads another off, causes collisions (which both players lose) etc. Super duper easy to setup and play.
Some good suggestions - I'd recommend Pandemic. Not dorky and cooperative, so no screaming kids. And lots of fun - we got our butts handed to us last weekend.
I bought exploding kittens as a game that can be learned quickly, involves some strategy and can be a fun party game for everyone/all ages. Going to be a Christmas present, so haven't played it yet.
Can't say enough great things about the global edition. So much fun but takes forever. Hard to find others who are able/willing to put in that many hours.
Got this over the holidays.
I have Europe and normal as iphone apps, and like them a lot. I prefer Europe.
Mentioned it on the previous page. Definitely a fun group game.Maelstrom said:
Brilliant cheat system for monopoly nobody knew of before now. Acquire a monopoly and buy houses. How have I never thought of that? I've been playing it all wrong.
