Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 9, 2003 I noticed we don't have a Thread to dicuss the AWESOMENESS of Board Games... What are YOUR favorites and least favorites? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Notorious CRD Report post Posted July 9, 2003 I have to go with the all-time greatness that is... Monopoly. Other favorites include: Trivial Pursuit & Yahtzee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest caboose Report post Posted July 9, 2003 'Monopoly' owns you all, especially when whiskey is involved. 'Game of Life', 'Othello' and 'TMNT Power Game' are great as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Big McLargeHuge Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Pictionary. Okay not really a board game, but still as fun as putting a squirrel down your pants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest starvenger Report post Posted July 9, 2003 - Monopoly's always a good time waster. - Chess is good every once in a while, though I get my ass kicked a lot in that. - Trivial Pursuit. Gotta love those trivia games. - Star Wars. I think I still have that somewhere... Least favourites: - Snakes/Chutes and Ladders, believe it or not. - Just about any game based on a TV show. Most of them were pretty bad. Again, I think I still have a couple - Knight Rider and CHiPs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Brush with Greatness Report post Posted July 9, 2003 It's hard to make a bad board game. Some of my favourites include Hotels (like a 3d version of Monopoly), Risk, Malarkey and Dream Phone. That's right, Dream Phone. Kick ass game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted July 9, 2003 I had a reverse Monopoly game called Go for Broke. The goal was to lose all your money and property through bad decisions and wind up in the poor house. Like you'd play the stock market or bet on a horse race, but if they came through then you would make more money and get screwed. Just as fun as Monopoly. And I have to name drop the all time classics of Clue and Risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Risk is by far the best. You can play that game for DAYS on end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted July 10, 2003 I have Monopoly and Scrabble for my PS2, so much for the board. I also have this Chess game where the board is twice as big and there are four armies instead of 2 -- talk about a royal rumble. However, my favorite board game has to be Backgammon -- it's like chess on crack. Lots of strategy that takes no time at all to play... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Black Lushus Report post Posted July 10, 2003 Anybody remember a game called Thunder Road, came out late 80s...it's a Mad Max setting, comes with a bunch of cars and some helicoptors and a 3 piece board that formed a road...the game pretty much kept going and going until you or your enemies were dead, when you got to the end of the road, you take the first piece off and attach it to the last piece to keep the road going...

Guest Star Ocean 3 Report post Posted July 10, 2003 Hotels kicks ass. Solarquest is a slightly better version of Monopoly, too. Fireball Island is one you can play over and over and not get tired of. I remember some commercials for 13 Dead End Drive a decade ago or so, that's another great one. And Daytona 500 is about as good. More old stuff like Landslide, Rich Uncle, Good Guys n' Bad Guys, and By Jove are awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted July 10, 2003 I hade Fireball Island. It was indeed an awesome game. Although, I never thought it worked quite as well as it showed in the commercials. I also had this sequal to Clue, forget the exact name. It was a 3-D board and you had paintings that the players could place in any of the rooms they wanted. One person was the Thief, while the rest were the standard Clue characters. The thief was invisible, he didn't have a piece on the board, but rather charted his moves on his own personal pad that had a sketch of the board on it. The other players had to guess where the thief would strike and try to head him off. If they got in sight of the thief, then he would become visible with his own piece on the board and you had to chase him and catch him, (land on his square) before he could make it to one of the exits. I forget all the little details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ravenbomb Report post Posted July 10, 2003 Favorite: Clue, Scrabble, Monopoly, Trivial Peruits, Chess Least Favorite: This one X-Men game I had once, this Star Trek game we had where you used your VCR with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had it as a kid. There was a dune buggy, a regular car and some "tank" car, plus the chopper (I think that was all of them). Heck, I usually just played with the pieces without using the board...

Guest Prototype450 Report post Posted July 10, 2003 Monopoly. I beat my entire family at this game when i was 6. It was by pure luck. I would never spend money on anything. I loved the X-Men board game. You would go Professor X's mansion fighting off bad guys. It was like D&D with X-Men. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
