Board Games Mega-Thread

[Prawnapple]

I'm looking for fun board games for myself and the SO. She isn't that into PC / PS / Xbox and owns a few titles, mostly single-player stuff.

Preferably board games for 2 + players, either co-op or vs.


Also: Board Games Mega Thread if there isn't already one. Post any and all board games related news, info and stuff in here!

Am a big fan of Dominion...

And of course, Catan (although Dominion shades it for me)

Thanks for the response! Will check Dominion out! Catan I've heard a lot of good things about, so I'll check that out too.

My wife and I play rummy-kub for hours on end. You can try that as well.

Also quite like this...

So trivia but also betting on whether you think your mates will get questions right or wrong, pretty good fun.

Ticket to ride is fun and easy to get into.
I've heard good things about pandemic as well if you want co-op.

Too soon...

Does anybody know where to buy Chinatown locally? It sounds fascinating!

 

[DarthCat]

Eldritch Horror

This is the honest truth. It is great fun.

I also have Scythe, Tokaido, and Peurto Rico. All top fun.
Though Scythe is a bit hardcore, even for me.

Yeah, I would not recommend Scythe for first timers. It's also up there with Game of Thrones for ending friendships or relationships.

For new players I'd start with Bang, Exploding Kittens, Unstable Unicorns or Forbidden Island.

Edit: I forgot that Bang needs at least 4 players.

Dominion
Ticket to ride
Lords of waterdeep
Exploding kittens
Unstable unicorns
Keyforge

Those are the easier ones that we can play as 2 players

Isn't it discontinued? It does look great but imgine you'd end up paying a small fortune if you did manage to buy a copy

 

[Akasha]

Oh and star realms and hero realms are both great. Star realms was the first game we got as a couple and 4 years later we still play it often

Looks that way unfortunately
