    I recieved a brand new Diamond Edition Scrabble Board for Christmas and, due to this thread, we played a game last night.

    I have to "not try so hard" and let her use the dictionary anytime so she'll play Scrabble with me. I am ruthless and stingy with the scrabble, (short, high-point words that don't open anything up, never open a triple word score etc...) I should probably join a league...
    I take it too seriously. I just strive to break 300 is all.

    Set.....

    so much fun and takes up way less space than any of the other games.

    It's not a two person game, but I love Apples to Apples.

    When you face off and declare rank, the loser drinks the difference.
    (8 attacks a 3, person w/ the 3 has to drink 5)
    When you tie, you both drink that #.
    Anything blows up on a bomb, bong hit.
    Defuse a bomb, bong hit.


    It's truly the best way to play stratego. You setup your initial strategy dead sober and as the game fumbles on both players begin to make some pretty terrible decisions.
    Officially I can't recommend more than one game a night, but it has happened.

    On a more serious note if no one has suggested it yet: settlers of catan.

    Scotland Yard is a lot of fun ( I have the older Milton Bradley verson, not sure about the other one) but I also like a good old fashion game of Yahtzee.

    Trivial Pursuit original edition is also a fav.

    Edit: Got to add Rook too if we're talking card games.

    What an absolutely odd first post.

    Are they sending overflow from the Milton Bradley forums this way?



    I was in Target over the holidays and saw they turned Oregon Trail into a board game.

    Another vote for backgammon and cribbage. Though not a board game, pinochle kicks ass too.

    Not a true board game, but Qwirkle is good for about an hour of your time. Especially with kids.

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    I found this one in my ex-in-laws' basement.

    "One season per year, the gods open the skies, and releases a white, fluffy, pillow on top of the most forbidding mountain landscapes, allowing people to travel over them with ease and relative abandonment of concern for safety. It's incredible."

    Ha! Catan. I had a nutty new neighbor who misjudged where the lot line was and put up posted signs 50' onto my property cutting off my access to the woods. After he called the cops on me I went to war. My internet recon showed that he was a member of a fantasy board game club and owned Catan. I put up some signs to play some games with his head and he retreated. The sign says YOU ARE LEAVING CATAN - WELCOME
