And is so which ones?
The new board games seem so detailed and intriguing, much more so than when I was young.

I actually have some friends...who play boardgames with me!  

Settlers of Catan is the big one but we have a few others:

Pandemic: a co-op game where you all have to help each other cure the world

not really boardgames, more card games: Welcome to the Dungeon, Love Letter and Skull

I've also played Ticket to Ride and enjoyed that.

I love watching Shut up and Sit Down reviews of boardgames. Most of the time I won't buy the games but their reviews are great: https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/

Nowhere near as often as I'd like but I do.

Twilight Struggle is brilliant. Only a two player and takes a long old time to learn and equally, to play, but it is well worth it if you get off on strategy.

Risk is/was all time favourite but I think it's probably been trumped by TS.

How is that board game you invented in the mid to late 90s coming on? I remember it always used to be in the back of your just in case.

In the back of my?

Cash Football (a card-based, share trading game - trading shares in four football teams) peaked in popularity around 2002/2003 when it was played daily by three/four people for about six weeks. (It was around the time Newcastle and a few other clubs floated on the stock exchange and was thus a little topical)

I invented it with the intention of sending it to game manufacturers with a set of rules. Twenty two years on, I still haven't gotten round to writing down the rules and therefore it is yet to be exposed to the world.

Missed the word 'car' out in my breathless excitement. I remember chatting about your game and it sounded interesting. Pull your finger out, get it made and give me 10% for reminding you.

I really like to play Monopoly. Because [url=http://funky-fruits-slot.com/]playing board games it's very fun[/url]. You can bring your friends and play different games all day long. I think that it is connect us better than Internet games

I was actually looking at buying Twilight Struggle today (that and Dead of Winter). I think I'll buy the PC version and learn how to play and then see about getting the cardboard version.

Maria. Strategy and realpolitik game about a part of the War of the Austrian Succession in the 1740s. Great game for history geeks like me (or devious illegitimates*).

* best with a minimum of 3 players. The rules encourage you to form alliances, but also to break them when your ally is doing too well!


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Sounds good, just had a look on boardgamegeek. Also sounds as though you and your fellow enthusiasts would enjoy Twilight Struggle. Satisfy touches of the history angle and a serious strategy fest. (Don't book anything else that day, though!)

I am captain of the Grimsby Town team at chessworld.net In 2010 we were in Division 5 but last year WON Division 1 after 4 promotions. Hope it is an omen

I am the weakest player in the team, but we have some very strong players!

I am also the captain of Seattle Mariners in the baseball league.

Not heard of most of the games mentioned on here. I stick to Scrabble and one or two others. Used to be in the school chess team many moons ago but haven't played for years.

A favourite, although not a board game as such, is cards against humanity!

Great after a few beers

Do they do boardgames at the Grimsby Wargames Club in Sixhills Street?
