    Default Board Game

    Board games seem to always be a fun thing with a good group of friends. Just curious what everyone is playing these days or suggest buying?

    I own both the standard and explicit versions. Much fun especially with first timers where the game play involves reading every card out loud.

    Can't stand long board games, so I have been enjoying these games, which are all more 'instant gratification' and take 5 mins to teach people:

    Bananagrams
    Love Letter
    Exploding Kittens
    Pairs
    King of Tokyo
    Things In a Box
    UNO (getting old though...)
    Cribbage
    7 Wonders
    Guillotine

    Cards Against Humanity was funny once, now everyone knows what the cards say and all shock value is gone so that one fizzled out pretty fast. Also some of the cards try to be so ridiculous that they aren't funny (IMO). Too many names of people in there as well, which aren't funny most of the time.

    CAH is a tough game to play with people who either don't speak english well, or don't read out loud well. It makes for a lot of

    Crokinole but it might not be considered a board game by some.
    Will fuck off, again.

    Um what?
    I find it to be one of the more convoluted games.

    One of my favorites, though you don't really need to buy their box set to play this; there's always the people who don't wanna play because "they can't draw". THAT'S THE POINT OF THE GAME. How is it fun if you draw a car and I guess car and the next person draws car and gets guessed as car?!?!?!

    Settlers of Catan
    Bang
    Sheriff of Nottingham

    Those are my three favourites. Expansions are available over the basic games for Catan and Bang.

    Lots of favorites already mentioned, can add Munchkin and an old favorite - backgammon.

    If you are looking for a place locally to pick up good board games that aren't to be found at Toys R Us, etc - there is a place in Westbrook mall called Sarah's Gourmet Gifts and Games. Weird combination of kitchenware and games, but they have CAH, Exploding Kittens, Catan, etc.
