confession time: I've never played Axis & Allies. I've also never played Mousetrap, and Saturday morning commercials made

Confession: I don't understand (strategy) card games. - JaxSean Nov 7, 12:30 4
- Yeah, I don't get them either. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 13:58
- I played Magic a couple times and it seemed to make sense to me, but I haven't played enough of that category to know for sure. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 7, 12:33
- Have you played any of the Exploding Kittens or Bears vs. Babies games? -- nm - oblique Nov 7, 12:32 1
  - Nope, probably because I shy away from them. - JaxSean Nov 7, 12:36
Lords of Waterdeep is my favorite board game. Despite it being DnD related, it's accessible to anyone and easy to learn. - Inigo Nov 7, 12:10 2
- your inside comment is possibly the best recommendation anyone can give a game -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 7, 12:12
- I like it a lot -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 12:11
Forbidden Island is a great co-op game. we played a lot with the girls -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 7, 12:05 1
- Subterra as well -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 7, 12:05
Axis and Allies was a staple of Jr High for me. - Mel Profit Nov 7, 12:00 4
- my older brother loved it. he played it against himself, optimized it, and became unbeatable. kind of ruined it for me. -- nm - colin Nov 7, 12:01 3
  - It was something weird like if your opponent ended up taking Malta or something that made it hard to beat. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 7, 12:20 2
    - also, if you're the US, you cannot be beaten. you can't mount a surprise attack across an ocean. - colin Nov 7, 12:23 1
      - That's right. - Mel Profit Nov 7, 12:43
Loved Mousetrap as a kid. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 11:54
I'll play Mousetrap with you but not A&A. The latter takes too stinkin' long. -- nm - Bayronmax Nov 7, 11:47 1
- I appreciate that. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 7, 11:51
are there any board game meetups? the Rose used to host some, people bring their favorites, various card tables set up for a half dozen groups. -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 7, 11:47 3
- Bigger gaming stores have tables where people can play various board/card games in groups. -- nm - Inigo Nov 7, 11:57 1
  - comic stores do this as well -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 7, 11:59
- The library will have a game night once a month but guess who always gets scheduled to work during it? -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 7, 11:49
To me, Mousetrap is the game that everyone had and nobody played. You just broke it out and played with the parts every so often. - Volnelk Nov 7, 11:47 5
- Pretty much. IIRC it was a pain in the ass to play and wasn't all that great. -- nm - VMan Nov 7, 11:54
- huh, none of my friends had it as far as I knew -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 7, 11:52 2
  - it was definitely a game you saw on people's game shelves or whatever and never played. I tried a few times i remember and it was just nothing but - Andie Nov 7, 12:21 1
    - that makes sense but I still have to do it once to get it off a list -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 7, 12:30
- yup -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 7, 11:48
