Games Anyone?

[ChristianBecker]

Oh yeah, I'm a big fan of both computer and board/ card games.

Usually when we're with friends we play games quite a lot.
Our favourites in no particular order are:

Pandemic, Race for the Galaxy, Dominion, Seven Wonders, Alhambra, Skat

Hello, btw.
I was gone for a while but I'm planning to visit more regularly again.

I have played pandemic on the gaming nights at brum waterstones it was alright if I played it more often I could get my head wrapped around
the rules exploding kittens was fun for a while but the most fun I had was with skulls and flowers card game

/ponder /ponder I think I look forward to a Dungen & Dragon style kind of game based on AM and all its denizens.

If someone has a chessboard and feels lonely I can set up my tiny rig here and we can have a go at it by inbox I like the way chess works and how it plays with your mind; so a contest of getting the king down in 3 moves is out of the question!

 

[RathDarkblade]

I've played chess for decades (including under tournament conditions with clocks and everything). I don't mind playing if you're up to the challenge.

Shall we use algebraic notation, then?

 

[Tonyblack]

Maybe I'm odd, but I actually hate playing games. I honestly do not see the point.

being a dark and obscure person I had a chance to play Skulls and roses at a games night and rather enjoyed it and would like the chance to play it again with my friends

You may be odd Mr Black but at least pretty dry, which often is a good sense of humor in my eyes!

@RathDarkblade feel free to check your inbox, the game is a foot!

[RathDarkblade]

@RathDarkblade ... the game is a foot!

You mean this one?

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

It could be twelve inches without toes?

 

[Ignisis]

I said something wrong again? I am not native english you know hehe Doing the best I can

 

[RathDarkblade]

It's OK. I think you mean the game is afoot (i.e. "in progress" or "happening").

"The game is a foot" means that it's one of these. (Or, as Dug pointed out, one of these).

To summarise: a "foot" is either something you put in a shoe, or a unit of measurement that goes back to the British Empire. (A "foot" is about 30 cm).

"Afoot" means "happening".

*there flies my sherlock impression... a well it sounded funny anyhow hehe

Oddly enough, more than a few video games are becoming board games or card games, as a sort of recursive thing. Last year, there was an announcement of a tabletop RPG called Bunkers and Badasses, based on the in-game RPG of the same name in one of the DLC campaigns of Borderlands 2...

And there's both a card game and a board game of Bloodborne...

 

[RathDarkblade]

Hmm -- board games becoming computer games or card games (and vice versa) is nothing new. It's all a matter of which company gets how much in royalties and other income.

Just look at (for example) Games Workshop's Blood Bowl and Warhammer board games, both of which became computer games. And Blizzard's "Warcraft" computer game, which became both a board game and a collectible card game.

"Money Sense ... Tingling!"

And yes, I know -- my cynicism chip is showing (again) ...

I know it's not as fantastical or imaginative as some of the other games listed in here, but my family and I love playing Trivial Pursuit and Kahoots! or other trivia games together on a shared device like a TV (I know that Netflix has some sort of an interactive game called Triviaverse, I believe? That's fun too!)
