    For something more forum-appropriate, may I suggest...


    Basicly chutes and ladders, with lifts and runs.

    Good runs when you get them.

    nice, I'll look them up and see where I can get them. Got trivial pursuit yesterday along with chess. saw Settlers of Catan and was wondering what it was/ like. a lot of Settlers of Catan is saying 3 players up. what it like with just 2 players. As Kinosoo and I don't have flat mate also a lot of the time it's just us two.

    Settlers is definitely best with 3 people. Carcasonne is best as a 2 player game.

    Agree cribbage as an awesome 2 player game.

    Cribbage, the best two person game, but also a great four person game as well.

    And you can play it in a tent during a raging blizzard.

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...    iscariot

    Awesome! I know its only a matter of time before Ash brings out the dreaded chutes and ladders for our lil guy. I'm soooo going to replace that stupid game and replace it with this much more appropriate stupid game that you have enlightened me to.

    Thank You
