Board Games!

So I made this post: http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=59417

Thanks for directing me here Reck.

TLDR; I am interested in playing board games via Vassal or whatever else.

so much cardboard

I have

Steam Park

. I like it. It is a game I can play with my daughter (8 years old) but also keeps my interest. My husband doesn't like it because he doesn't like the randomness of the dice rolling. So, sadly, I don't get to play as much as I would like.

I think everything went relatively smoothly. I had a tear or two. It's been about 8 months so I forget.

Another light game which is currently in print-and-play beta is

Stuff and Nonsense

. It's particularly fun if you get into the storytelling.

Agricola

is fun.

Juls · Post Post #1526 (isolation #4) » Thu Oct 09, 2014 1:40 pm

I agree, that

Forbidden Desert

is better.

Juls · Post Post #1529 (isolation #5) » Fri Oct 10, 2014 2:35 am

Well crap, I would have suggested

Twilight Struggle

if I knew she was ex-military. It's a fun game.

Good buy.

I played 8 minute a few weeks ago and I wasn't real impressed. I think it may have been our board configuration though. There was a lot of rivers to cross so we remained pretty clustered. Maybe I need to give it another try.

Juls · Post Post #1540 (isolation #7) » Fri Oct 10, 2014 3:49 am

Not sure which I played. I would have to ask the guy who brought it.

Juls · Post Post #1543 (isolation #8) » Fri Oct 10, 2014 4:32 am

We were looking to go to PAX east or the two new ones they do but BGG is one I would probably be interested in next year. Never been to a con though.

I wouldn't mind playing power grid on bsw.

Juls · Post Post #1584 (isolation #12) » Sun Oct 12, 2014 2:49 am

I'd play

Juls · Post Post #1597 (isolation #13) » Mon Oct 13, 2014 4:29 am

I prefer

The Resistance - Avalon

to the original but still a good game.

Juls · Post Post #1599 (isolation #14) » Mon Oct 13, 2014 5:32 am

Yeah my group doesn't either. It's kind of a bummer.

Juls · Post Post #1601 (isolation #15) » Mon Oct 13, 2014 7:35 am

Haha...I've done that before I amazon with add-on items

Juls · Post Post #1611 (isolation #16) » Wed Oct 15, 2014 3:10 pm

French yes?...it would sound sorta like "Sank Tear". But I will ask my husband. He speaks French.

Juls · Post Post #1612 (isolation #17) » Wed Oct 15, 2014 3:11 pm

He says it would have to be Cinq to be French ...

Juls · Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:47 am

Seasons...It's on bsw yes? I would play if someone taught me.

I dunno if it's on BSW, I'm playing on Boardgamearena.

Oh...thats where I saw it. I just registered. I will read the rules and would probably play in a little while. I have to figure out dinner for the family first

Juls · Post Post #1644 (isolation #20) » Sat Oct 18, 2014 1:40 pm

I'm around for whatever. My dinner is being delivered but I can eat AND play at the same time. Very impressive, I know.

Juls · Post Post #1646 (isolation #21) » Sat Oct 18, 2014 1:44 pm

Sure.

Juls · Post Post #1649 (isolation #22) » Sat Oct 18, 2014 2:24 pm

Dont know how to play that one either but I am game...

I have this one. My husband loves it. It takes too long to me but I might be willing to play it online.

I taught my husband seasons and we played on Sunday. I did much better now that I understand. I went ahead and ordered it in hard copy.

Juls · Post Post #1706 (isolation #26) » Thu Oct 23, 2014 7:11 am

Chamber, you're a programmer right? I hear

robot turtles

is fun for that age. My daughter's too old for it I think so I haven't tried it first hand but a coworker has it.

Speaking of my daughter, we played

Seasons

last night and while I was setting it up my daughter asked to play. I thought it would be too difficult for her (she is only 8 and, despite my best efforts, isn't that interested in board games). She not only played, she did a pretty good job! She finished second (I won, my husband was last). So that was pretty cool and gives me hope that I can mold her!

Juls · Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:44 am

I'd be up for playing something in a few hours if anyone is game?

Juls · Fri Oct 24, 2014 12:00 pm

Don't care, I'm easy.

Juls · Fri Oct 24, 2014 12:01 pm

I can attempt to teach you twilight struggle on vassal but I wasn't crazy about the module last time I tried.

I would do this later tonight. Supposed to play another game online with my bro/sis in law in about half an hour.

Juls · Post Post #1763 (isolation #31) » Wed Nov 12, 2014 9:05 am

I own that one. It's pretty fun. We did the first two missions. I need to get it back out and play more!

Juls · Post Post #1770 (isolation #32) » Wed Nov 19, 2014 8:15 am

Pencil me in. Will have to make sure my husband handles the baby.

I can't do it Saturday. I forgot that Alabama vs. Auburn was happening. I'll probably just /out for now cause Sunday isn't looking good either.

Juls · Post Post #1819 (isolation #34) » Thu Nov 27, 2014 4:37 pm

I'm not going to be able to play Sunday either, sorry. My husband is taking my daughter to the movie so I have the baby. I may listen in though and observe.

Getting
