board game recommendations

If you like Talisman, there's always Relic.

It's besically Talisman set in the Warhammer 40k Universe. It fixes a few of the problems people had with the original Talisman, but doesn't make it much more complicated.


There's always dungeon crawlers as well. This simulated the roleplay experience pretty well, but tends to be a bit rule heavier. One player typically plays the bad guys and needs the best grip on the rules, while everyone else just plays a character or two.

Super Dungeon Explore
Descent
Level 7: Omega Protocol (Sci-fi setting with guns, limited loot)
Mice and Mystics
Dungeons and Dragons Adventure Board Games (Castle Ravenloft, Wrath of Ashardalon, Legend of Drizzt)


There was some suggestions for Munchkin, which is a card game. If you want the spacial board game elements that provide strategic movement options, there's Munchkin Quest available as well. I only really recommend munchkin to people who have enough experience with roleplay or fantasy settings to get the jokes, because without the humor Munchkin isn't that spectacular in my opinion.
Lot's of great ideas here, thanks again everyone. I guess I should really get my arse over to C's house and see some of these in action!

Hahahha a lot of my board game geek friends have moved away recently (something about Melbourne attracts the artsy-fartsies), so most of the games are gathering dust. Cards Against Humanity still gets a fair run, but that's a whole other kettle of rotten fish.

Speaking of the Geekden, all we're doing for NYE is having friends over and watching the Three Flavours Cornetto movies (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End). Having no life together is fun. :)


Lol, sounds good. I get my party fix on the 6th, got an invitation from the mayor in the mail for some new years party, should have done it on the 31st but i aint complainin', free drinks and foods and stuff. :)

Next party is on the 9th but i spare you all the details on that one. :P




Happy new year everyone! Better early than late!^^
So for old time's sake I picked up Talisman and my step brothers and I played it last night. It's not quite snakes and ladders, there is a modicum of strategy in there, but whogivesashit! It was an epic 4.5 hour game with many twists and turns, whereupon Minstrel MrP finally prevailed in a toe-to-toe fight to the death at the crown of command as I came back from 8 lives to 1 down with only 1 more strength than the evil Wizard bro. I haven't done the maths, but the chances of winning from 8 lives to 1 down with only 1 more strength have to be fantastically small.

Immensely fun to play and drink at the same time, without having to sour interpersonal relationships.

Pathfinder Adventure Card Game is relatively easy to play and comes in a board game format even though it is, obviously, a card game. Full of random encounters and loot and character development. It's co-op.


I hear good things. Would love to play this. Pathfinder really appeals to me. I only discovered it recently when it was announced that Obsidian have acquired the rights to make a crpg with the Pathfinder license

Don't forget to drink your milk 👌
