Does Anybody Still Play Board Games?

I would play board games but no one that I know of really likes them that much. Especially Monopoly.

 

I still play board games. Most of the board games I own are themed though like Doctor Who monopoly and so when there's a new episode, my friends and I will play it.

But I have also Yahtzee, risk, Clue, scrabble, and a few card games and I'll play them with friends, so it's not quite a dying art yet. But it seems younger generation in high school though have no concept or want to play board games. But this is basedon my computer game obsessed younger sibling.

 

We have an entire box of board games sitting here in my room.
I always want to play one.
But nobody else does.

 

I mastered Candy Land as a youngster.
I still play Clue, Monopoly, or Trouble. It's just been a few months since I've actually touched them.

 

I'm pretty hardcore into board games. I don't tend to play a lot of the "mainstream" ones (monopoly, risk, etc) and tend to instead play the slightly more obscure, more complex ones (I got tired of always losing at monopoly because my luck is horrendous haha).

I'm into games like Zombicide, Pandemic, Dominion, MTG, Mage Knight, Ghost Stories, Khet, Munchkin and the like. In fact, I was going to post a thread like this asking about board games, because I'm about to start to get into painting miniatures and making customized pieces for these games (which typically come with plain, dull plasticy ones).

 

Just monopoly, but different versions of it. Most of the time now its apples to apples or a deck of playing cards.

 

500 seems to be a family favorite. all i ever played on the computer when it came to card games was solitare. Unless it was go fish from spy fox in dry cereal. (cheating pig)

I painted miniatures once for a school project, my dad knows a guy who paints them for a living, mostly for tabletop rpgs ect.
its pretty cool. Though im not that good at it. XD

 

Was it Scattergories ? I love that game. I barely win because my vocabulary isn't as large as one of my friends, but I still enjoy playing the game.

As for board games, I find they're a great pastime. Back in the city where I go to University, there's actually a 19+ board room cafe, which my friends and I go to when our work load isn't too hectic. One of the board games that we recently discovered was Marrying Mr Darcy. If you're a fan of The Pride and the Prejudice, you're guaranteed to love this card game. We have played it so many times at the cafe that we ended up buying a copy for ourselves. The point of the game is to try and build the best character profile with Character Cards in order to match your female heroine with a suitor.

Another popular game is Bananagrams (I've actually managed to win this one a few times). This game is a lot like Scrabble, except you're trying to make connected words faster than your opponent.

In general, I love board games though and I find they're a great way to spend time with friends.

 

I only heard about this game when I went to the boardroom cafe, so I was just as excited as you !! I didn't realize there was an Undead Expansion. Hmm... I'm going to have to check this out ! It's honestly a great time and I've even played the game with people who knew nothing about Pride and Prejudice. I love making a well-rounded character.

You should try it ! Mother's Day is just around the corner

Also, another game that I really enjoy is a game called Smart Ass.Basically, it's a trivia game where anybody (besides the person reading the card) can shout the answer and whoever guesses right can move their piece closer to the finish.

I just like trivia games, regardless if I'm any good at them.
