Boardgamers

[shane.mcneil]

I'm always on the hunt for new board games. It is becoming quite addictive. Any board gamers out there know what I am on about? What games do you like and why?

Currently I'm into Pandemic, Hive and Bohnanza (card game).

www.boardgamegeek.com (http://www.boardgamegeek.com) has heaps of info.

arkham horror (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/15987/arkham-horror) and wiki entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkham_Horror)
= good co-op game

battlestar galactica (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/37111/battlestar-galactica)
= co-op and betrayal

i like co-op games now.

[shane.mcneil]

Yeah I like Co-Op's too. Pandemic (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30549/pandemic) is a co-op. Another I'm trying to get is Hanabi (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/70918/hanabi-ikebana).

I love board games. Unfortunately I dont know anyone who does, except my sister and she lives too far away to play often.

My 4 year old is still pretty young but he loves draughts, monopoly, snakes and ladders and trouble so at least I can play them! My husband says he doesnt mind squatter so every now and then I can talk him into playing it with me.

I just recently bought Saboteur (card game) but so far havent been able to trap anyone into playing it with me but mothers day is coming up...

[shane.mcneil]

I've heard Saboteur is really good. I'd love to try it. Some other good intro board games are Settlers of Catan and Carcasonne.

I think there are Aussie communities on www.boardgamegeek.com (http://www.boardgamegeek.com). Or you could try comething like www.goldtoken.com (http://www.goldtoken.com).

Just for interests sake I looked and there is an Adelaide board game club! Ha who would have thought. Maybe I will have to head there for my board game fix!

I have had my eye on Settlers of Catan and Carcasonne for a while. Im thinking about buying one for my sister for Christmas and then making everyone play it!!

[shane.mcneil]

Both are good. I prefer Carc though. Some of the expansions really add a lot to the game too. www.milsims.com.au (http://www.milsims.com.au) usually has good prices.

nothing beats a good game of chess :thumbsup:

[shane.mcneil]

Hi Tony. If you like chess you might like Hive (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2655/hive). I really enjoy it. Each insect has its own movement and the Hive can never be broken. Great fun.
