To start off, what's your favorite board game (any game including games that aren't exactly "board" games)? If it's really unique, just write a little about.

I always have good, fun time playing Heroscape. Let it be known that I bought enough terrain to launch a 6v6 game in my attic. You can get really creative with the custom maps. I think the highest altitude I made reached 7 feet.

I almost bought that, but I didn't know enough people interested in playing and I didn't want to shell out the cash. It looks like a fun game though!

I do not even know Heroscape and i do not know if this is true but by looking at gameplay it looks a bit like Warhammer .

OMG! Me and my friends play board games all the time when we got nothing better to do. I love the following:
Axis and Allies- Kind of old fashion, but it's fun. If anyone people know what it is...
Monopoly- So much fun! I have the electronic banking one and it is way easy than the orginal. Don't got to worry about cash, jus tuse a credit card.
Risk- World Domination, Baby! Almost everyone knows this games, right?!?!
Life- The game of life. Live your life and gain money and lose some. HAHA you went broke, boy ^_^
Diplomacy- Conquering you land is so much fun! Hours of fun, unless you losing... Too bad for you
Chess- Just have to add this game right?! Skill is key, unless your random, so... CHECKMATE!

These are my favorite board game (Obviously).

It looks like you're the strategic type. I love strategy board games, but somewhat ironically I don't really like chess at all.

Axis and Allies is fun. I haven't been able to get my hands on a board though.

Ah, the one from the Philippines? I have board of that. Played that online with some other AG people.

Yup.

Yes, very fun games indeed.

I've also used to play Trouble with my mom.

My dad had that game, too. One of the pegs was missing, though.
However, I did buy my little brother a new game of Trouble last year...and Sorry this year. Not even realizing it (Hang on, I'm about to drop a really corny joke), I guess you have to get in trouble before you can be sorry! *Wild Laughs*
Alright, here's a picture of Trouble for anyone who hasn't played it before.

I have played countless board games in the past years. However the one that I am most pleased with is chess. And also most of those said board games have been destroyed by my younger brother.

I don't really like chess at all.

Knight, why?

I've been really in to Axis And Allies Lately. Had a great game with some friends that lasted till 2am before anyone won, and battles consisted of handfuls of dice being rolled dozens of times a fight.

I always liked Lord of the Rings Risk too, good times. And Go, it's kind of like Japanese chess.

Yeah same question why?

The board games that involve little strategy get boring quick. Everything becomes frustrating because you are at the whim of the randomness of the game and have little control over it.

On my computer I only play chess with either the AI or others online. Most of the time though - I can't find a decent challenge while playing. . I hate that. .
