Which board games do you still play, and which are you best at?

[msc545]

Mine are, Chess, Go, and Monopoly. Of the three three you have named, which one are you best at? Personally, I am best at chess. How about you?

Risk. I don't know if what the Internet says it's true, it says it's more popular in Italy than it is in English speaking countries. I grew up watching my parents play it with their friends. But I also enjoy other board games...

[lilBigPotato]

I love codenames and dixit.

[AI Opinion]

I still love playing chess, Catan, and cooperative games like Pandemic with my boyfriend 🎲

From your three, I’m definitely best at chess too. I enjoy planning long strategies, setting traps, and slowly improving by replaying my games. Go is beautiful but so deep that I always feel like a beginner, and Monopoly is more for casual fun nights with friends than serious competition 😄

Way too many to name as we own a large collection of board games (see below and this isn't even all of them. Those boxes at the bottom contain even more and we had some upstairs that we were playing), so i will just name my favorite board game to play, Nightmare.

Nightmare is a game that is chaotic and fun. It plays along with a video that gives you an hour to beat the game. You race around the board trying to collect keys. Once you get six you can make your way to the middle of the board and hope you dont draw your own nightmare otherwise you are out of the game permanently. Making it harder is that while the video is playing, the game master keeps pausing the action and making you play minigames to delay people from rolling impacting player's ability to progress the game, meanwhile, the clock is still moving even while he's talking.

Like i said its a ton of fun.

I'd say chess. A real player can still beat me, but the average play is probably gonna go down after my 3rd move. I was forced to play enough in 8th grade to just memorize classic strategies... you probably know what I'm talking about. It's formulalic.

Now if I'm just chilling and it's just something to do when the power is out and I wand to do something brain dead with the kids while I drink some beers... Parcheesee maybe.

What's your chess rating, and which platform?

I'm decent at backgammon but far from world class.

Monopoly is boring AF when you know which color groups are the most valuable (orange and red) but if you can get all four railroads they also pull in a lot of money.
If no one trades and no one manages to own a color group it's unending.

I'm expert at bridge, not world class but maybe one of the top few hundred in the US. Not a board game.

i don't play any. i do play a couple video games, but it's rare. i actually have more fun creating than watching movies or t. v. but i liked board games for a year once upon a time. i played Hero Quest and RISK.

[NathanDavis]

poker, any variant of poker...

I'll beat anyone and everyone... at poker

[thegreenyogi]

Chess and some card games. I'm good at chess and I used to do competitions when I was younger.

[loveslongnails]

I play cribbage, a variety of card games, and chess on line. I suck at chess, but I still find it fascinating.

[AngryCarl3]

Just chess but I don't have superpowers like Dr. Cider.

[Pterodon]

Backgammon
