Fucking Ticket to Ride sucks. It's a hair above Settlers of Catan.
Tsuro is a beautifully designed diversion, a very serene and peaceful experience (not to mention, somehow incredibly fun just to swoop your little dragon across the board).
I have not played Forbidden Island but my
god
I want to...
Also I think I've got the next board game purchase down to either: Lords of Waterdeep, Shadows Over Camelot, or Letters from Whitechapel. Thoughts?
my grandfather wants to get and have us play shadows over camelot this thanksgiving. going to be a long holiday. he saw it being played on geek and sundry and decided it would be fun. which it IS, but with my grandfather, who takes approximately 30 minutes to play his round in smallworld, i foresee frustration.
Basic Settler of Catan kinda sucks. Settlers of Catan with the Citys & Knights expansion is great.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

Someday I will actually fucking come to one of these scummer meets, and I'll bring Forbidden Island.
Also, Shadows over Camelot is my vote.
Yes my Lord, but questions are dangerous, for they have answers.
13 heads and counting now, plurality is adaptive. If our experience might help you,
be writing an unofficial sequel to Love Letter... anyone played the original? It's a fast, fun little card game.
Love Letter is actually one of my current favorites. It's a great game that I tend to play with others while we're waiting for something, whether that's others at a restaurant, or if we're waiting to go into a theater, or waiting for others to finish a game they're playing. It's fantastic.
I played Hanabi this weekend. It's a co-operative deduction card game which is both surprisingly difficult and a ton of fun. Essentially, you can see every card except your own and either give someone a clue about their hand, discard a card to gain a clue, or play a card. I highly suggest giving it a try.
jdodge1019: hasjghsalghsakljghs is from vermont
jdodge1019: vermont is made of liberal freaks and cows
jdodge1019: he's not a liberal
jdodge1019: thus he is a cow
One I'm really glad I picked up is Mystery Express. My wife loves clue but I hate rolling dice and getting screwed. Here, everything is open and strategic, but still has the murder mystery feel. I've heard Mystery at the Abbey is good for this immersion too but haven't played it myself.
I've been eyeing a second edition Hans im Gluck printing of Die Macher. Has anyone ever tried it? It's a simulation of German elections where you need to get your party elected in different districts to win. Looks super euro.
I also love Fury of Dracula for a great game. It's like the old Scotland Yard where everyone is hunting one hidden player, except with Dracula.

we play mystery at the abbey a fair amount as a family. i've wanted to try mystery express but felt like i had better things to spend my money on than another deduction game.

On the positive side, it's utter chaos and watching your carefully planned turn fall apart because one other player intervened is both horrifying and exhilarating.

Every turn is one step forward and four steps back.
