I've also been trying to track down an affordable complete set of the Heroquest board game.

you and I may be able to chat...I have that fully intact as well as two expansion packs for it that I don't play anymore...

I thought about getting Settlers of Catan.

 

I play Monopoly (either NFL or Lord of the Rings Trilogy usually, I also have Star Wars Trilogy), Clue, Life, Risk & Scotland Yard all the time. Scotland Yard is my favourite, you can get some pretty tense moments in that game. I try to play Diplomacy when I can, but it is hard getting enough people who want to play it at once. It doesn't work without at least 6 (no Italy), preferably 7.

Settlers of Catan, I have been looking for that game for a couple of years, hard to get around these parts. Is it as good as I hear it is?

I know one place which has it, along with various other Catan add-ons (using various historical settings), but the store is awfully pricey (Diplomacy was like $120, usually you can get it for $80 Canadian) so I haven't decided whether I want to get it or not. And after that there is the matter of trying to figure out what version I want. I think there are 2 or 3 full version to go along with the expansion packs.

Kahran, if you can get to them before they close, the game kiosks that were in malls before Christmas have SoC for 25% off, which worked out to be around $40. I picked up a copy myself a couple of weeks ago.

 

I think the one in Carlingwood is still open, anyway.

Ok, thanks. I think new they were $50-$60. So have you played it yet and is it any good? I know it has gotten a lot of hype.

I loved playing Magic:The Gathering 7 years ago when I was in college. Funny how I played a game when I couldn't afford it, now I don't play the game when I can afford it.

 

Recently, I've spent a lot of time playing Euchre with the wife and in-laws. My father-in-law and I tell lousy jokes and talk trash on our wives either though neither of us are any good at it.

 

Some board games I like are movie versions of some old board games. Some that I've played Lord of the Rings Monopoly, Lord of the Rings Risk, and Star Wars Life. The LOTR Monopoly is cool in the fact that, unlike the other special Monopolies that I have seen, this one actually does incorporate the movie into the game. It is also a lot shorter the other Monopolies that tend to run 3 hours.

I kicked Incandenza's ass at chess, and I'm a juggernaut at regular Trivial Pursuit.

Best thing I ever did in a board game was shouting random words in Pictionary and getting the answer before a single line was drawn.
