Clue, mostly because I kick ass at the game and win something like 7 out of 10 games with my friends. Simpsons Clue is a nice variation.

Monopoly. It's boring to a lot of people but I love how cut throat the games can actually get. I've had some wonderfully vicious games over the years. Star Wars is my favorite variation. Lots of prison rape jokes seem to abound when playing.

Risk. Another wonderfully cut throat game. Haven't played in a long time though. :(

Monopoly. Like you said, once you start dominating, you can't help but laugh in someones face when they land on expensive property you own.

Ditto on Clue too. I'm not big on board games other than those.

I love Clue. Every time I play, the murder weapon is the rope. Go figure.

Monopoly and Risk are great too, but they take so long that I barely get to play.


All time favorite is definitely Stratego. Absolute classic of a game.

A perfect example of how we are:

We go to a friend's house to play one night and my friend parks in a bank parking lot. We come back out to find his car has been towed. So the other guy and I go to get one of our cars which are about a mile away. As we walk away my friend's reaction to the whole thing was:

"That's what he gets for not selling me (insert property here)."

The rope is the least cool looking weapon in Clue. The Simpsons version has some cool items, like the inatimate carbon rod.

Smithers dressed in the maid outfit is hilarious. The other problem with playing me in Clue is I demand to play as Colonel Mustard.

You guys ever play Stratego?


I'm a Professor Plum buff myself.

It's been a long time. I have the Stratego Legends game sitting in the basement but haven't played it in a long time.

I always play as Plum or Green, but my win percentage is something like 2%. I did better solving the crimes on those childhood Clue books from 1991-92 than the actual game.

Edit: Stratego and Risk are both pretty awesome too, but I haven't played either in years.

The key to winning Clue is figuring out what other people are showing each other.

I haven't played Clue in a while. Now i'm all nostalgic and shit.

Well, I kinda guessed that, but usually I "jump the gun" and end up losing pretty badly.

Me: It was Col. Mustard in the Conservatory with the revolver.
(forgets has Revolver card)

Solution: Miss Scarlet in the kitchen with the rope

My advantage is my mind just works the right way to win that game almost every time. It actually killed our group playing that game because I was too dominating at it.

I'm also a big fan of Mille Borne but that's a card game.

I'm the man at Uno and Skip-Bo. Can't bring that shit to me.

Spoons is fun but the last game of that saw me literally diving across the table to grab the final spoon and almost overturning the whole thing.

Correction Choate... I'm the king of Uno. I'd use to play that every day in school during lunch, and always kicked ass. I had a sick enjoyment in doing that "Wild Card" thing where I manipulate it against the favor of the person whos cards I could see.

I concede that you're the king.





































But I'm the m'fuckin emperor.

Oh, in that case. (Bows to knee) How may I help you, my lord? :P

I would've been one half of the Euchre champions at my college had the other team not cheated.

Hungry Hungry Hippos, bitches. Oh yeah, go ahead and laugh Mr. Maturity..but as soon as I put four plastic hippos and MARBLES in front of you, you're hooked.

Plus, pretty sure I ahd the original version from 1979 or so. Still remember the jingle: "if ya' wanna play the game, ya' gotta' git with the' name..and get the most marbles in your hippo!! Playin' Hungry Hungry Hippos! (hungry hungry hippos!)..Playin' Hungry Hungry Hippos!"

I always liked what I think was called Shark Attack (you had to avoid your piece being eaten by a JAWS wannabe)... oh, and Mouse Trap rocked all your asses.

I liked Back Off Buzzard!, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Life, and my brother's personal favorite (only because he always won), Fireball Island. Also had special fondness for Hero's Quest, DragonStrike, and another of my brother's favorites (only because he always beat me), BattleMasters.

By the way, does anybody remember the game Atmosfear?

I've heard of Atmosfear, but don't ever plan on ever doing anything that requires purchase or playing.

Battlemasters was a quality game.

Yeah, it was pretty fun, except when my brother would beat the snot outta my guys.

I'm a board game junky, and have about 60 total games. Really got into it the last few years with some friends. A great strategic card game is called Grass. The basis is kind of selling and acquiring weed from the other players, and trying to make the most money as a dealer, without getting the "heat" put on you, and you steal other players money cards with "stonehigh" and "eutopia" cards. Pretty fun game, regardless of if you like to get high.

That is either the worst or the best game I've ever heard.

I'll go with worst. Card games rule, but there's only so many times you can play something.

In the mid-80's barbarian craze, my buddy picked up a game called "Crossbows & Catapults". You built little forts, then bombed the crap out of the other guy. Stuff went flying everywhere.

Around 88 or 89, I had a fun game called "Cathderal". Pretty simple game, where you would place buildings in a grid to wall off your section of the "city". Simple, straighforward premise, but it required some strategy and the re-play value was good.

Not really a board game, but I've been playing HeroClix on an almost weekly basis since about April. It's a whole dorky niche that I never knew existed. Also proves that all those jokes about comic book fans as The Great Unwashed are 100% TRUE

I highly recommend Heroscape to anyone into war games.

Did you say War Games? (rigs the coin flip to favor the heels)
