We have been playing BG's at my house every friday night for a while, including non traditional card games (Chez Geek) and tile games like Zombies! What have you guys been playing?
I am a little down on Settlers of Catan. It's a brilliant game, but it is too random for me. I can have the best setup in the world, and a few lucky rolls push the guy on the 2 and 12 into the winners circle.
When not in the company of those who play full on Figure games, I enjoy a relatively inexpensive and more game-noob friendly alternative in the form of Heroscape. Its almost shockingly fun ever having played "real" strategy games like Warhammer 40K.I also love to while away the hours on Risk, Risk 2010 and Risk Godstorm (all other risk's are balls)And of course, nothing can beat the classic feel of a game of chess at my universities local chess club. Note: I am horrible at chess to a degree that is nigh unfathomable.

>>450a friend of mine came up with an easy solution for that: just about any box of dominoes will have the right pip-combinations for all the possible dice outcomes, so put in one of each combo per 'value dot' that Catan gives it. put em all face down, and pick one instead of rolling dice.you get a fixed curve of output, but a randomized order.

>>454Won't this result in players memorizing the outcomes so far?
>>452Thanks for giving me the name of that game. I saw it at Walmart like a year ago and have wanted to buy it since.
Dark Tower. There's a flash version at http://www.hotflashgames.com/darktower.htm
>>668God, I love that game...
This, but fourth edition
>>672 The art is cooler in 2nd ed. Awesome boardgame though.
