It has come to my attention that I'm absolutely in love with board games. Myself, my other half, my best friend, my other best friend, and her husband get together every few weeks to play a board game, have dinner, and generally hang out. It's a fun way to socialize.
Anyone else do anything similar? If you do, share your games, your reviews, home-brewed rules and scenarios for certain games, and other board game related stuff! smile

My friends and I play....... Last Night On Earth by Flying Frog Games - we call this 'The Zombie Board Game', because well... That's what it is. Atmosfear and Nightmare by A Couple A Cowboys - this is a VHS and DVD game where you play alongside a DVD/VHS. AND ARKHAM HORROR by Fantasy Flight Games. This one is my baby because my other half bought it for me for my birthday and he bought me special dice for it a couple of days ago. He and I have only played it once, and it requires a MASSIVE learning experience, but it is a heck of a lot of fun.

Wilson and I do enjoy a board game on occasion, but only when it's more than just the two of us. We have a Spongebob version of Monopoly, and he always makes me the banker. XD I'm ruthless when it comes to board games, though. I don't play to be nice, I play to kick a** and take names.

We normally play with 3+ people, but I'd just gotten sick and tired of having Arkham Horror lying around never being played because Blake gave it to me for my birthday back in April. So he and I played it together.

Sinful Nana I did that with Nightmare Before Christmas version of Jenga. We got it for our wedding, and it was just too cool to not play with. XD That sounds wicked cool! I can't play Jenga because it's too loud and I'm a little skittish about big sudden noises sad Blake ALWAYS wants to play it at iStorm, which is the gelato parlour we go to. Actually, there's another board game tradition of mine. Early in our relationship, Blake took me to iStorm, which has LOTS of board games. iStorm has since become our official gelato place, and we go there to play games and eat gelato. We always play Connect Four, in both 2-D and 3-D. It's really odd, because I'm REALLY good at 3-D, but not at 2-D.

Last year, when my friend and I were bored of playing video games, we played four games of life in a row. One game he became president with no children that cured the common cold. I had 4 kids and climbed mount everest. It was so much fun. We went through so much soda before and during it. We had the new weird al cd going and it was crazy!

I'm rather partial to Monopoly, myself. I also like interactive games, the kind that used to be played with a board -and- a VHS tape. Do they still do that, with DVD versions? I haven't seen any... I remember my first minion. He was over at my house and we were playing the one that came with the Gargoyle's box set. I had the worst luck in it, but I wanted to win at least once, so I demanded that we keep playing. We must have played it no less than ten times before I gave up.

It was freaking fantastic! No one ever played it with me, but MAN! I loved that show so much. I wonder if I still have that game in storage somewhere...

When we play Nightmare/Atmosfear and The Gatekeeper, I have the WORST luck. The first time we played Nightmare, I got banished to the Black Hole for like, 40 out of the allotted 50 minutes. Same with the Black Key in The Gatekeeper. I ALWAYS end up with it.
