Non-electronic Gaming
Howdy All

Long term interest of mine are 'board games'. I am sure 99% of you first think Monopoly but there are many really good board games, card games, worker placement etc out there.

Anyone else into non electronic gaming? What are you favourite games?

Mine would have to be Ticket to Ride as a 'board game'. Carcassonne is always great fun and I really enjoy a small 2 player card game called Jaipur.

Hellas is also really fun quick 2 player 'war game'

Anyone else?

seems there are very few people who like board games, or people are scared of other people thinking they are a nerd.

I am quite happy being a nerd, you all should be as well :)

KOTRT is an excellent game. I love Agricola/Caverna, bit full on for my Mrs as she is only a casual gamer, but there is a smaller version almost intro version available which I have just bought, fingers crossed she likes it!

I used to love Nightmare when I was a kid - it came with a video that you had to watch that directed the game. Has been years since I've played it. Thought about converting the video to DVD once :P
No real skill involved, but it was so hyped as a horror fan's game.

there is always a time and place for monopoly mate. Really I can think of no single game that covers the mechanics and style monopoly offers. Plenty of games do the individual components alot better but cannot think of one that does them all as well
