What board games do you play?

[JenniferL]

I just bought a bunch of board games for my Humanities classes. Just some basic ones that I can use as centers once or twice a week. I got them Scrabble and Up Words to practice spelling. Apples to Apples to practice vocabulary, and Settlers of Cataan because it teaches resource management. God, I'm so boring. =)

 

Anyways, I absolutely LOVE Settlers. It's my favoritest board game ever right now. I still have it at home, actually, because me and my husband want to play it every night before I let the students lose all the pieces.

 

Do you have any favorite board games?

[Zardi]

Monopoly and Scrabble, though I am not very good at either. I've never heard of Settlers of Cataan. What is that like?

[JenniferL]

Its a German board game, of all things. You have a bunch of tiles with different resouces on them, like bricks, wood, sheep, etc. You have to build settlements on the edges of the tiles to take advantage of the different resources. If you have the right combinations, you can build more towns, roads, and armies that have point values assigned. The first person to earn ten victory points wins the game.

Settlers of Cataan is awesome. I had no idea it was German, though. That's my Christmas game. Meaning I play it every Christmas. It's the only time of year I have the energy and time to play it. Not to mention that it's the only time the rest of my family/friends has the time to play it with me.

 

Other than that I love your usual random knowledge games such as trivial pursuit etc.

[Demandred Valerius]

Nothing beats an epic 8 hour marathon game where you blindside everyone with a seemingly come out of nowhere win because you outplayed them. And yes, I obviously do not have a girlfriend. lol

[Emillith]

I generally dislike board games. With a passion. I'm too competitive amongst other things. :P

 

But I've learned to temper it so people don't mind playing with me and don't realize my dislike. :P

<_< I've never played a board game in my life. My mom felt sorry for my lack of childhood, so she bought a few last year for Christmas. It was like, Monopoly, Star Wars Risk, some sort of deluxe scrabble game... There were about 5. And the idea of spending time playing such just bewildered me, so they're still unopened.

 

However, I did download the Game of Life on phone recently out of boredom. Does that count? (I tried Monopoly too, but either Monopoly is really weird and confusing or the phone version is, one of the two.)
