Have you heard of their follow-up game: Apples to Oranges? The two are nothing alike. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using a carrier pigeon service to make these posts? Someone's never played D&D... What's wrong with D&D anyways? It's not as good as Pathfinder! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Wheaton and Jeri Ryan play it. An adult version of Catan Poontang would be interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hectic at times, but wouldn't trade it for the world. About 18 years away from board games and crosswords, but they can wait I'll make a recommendation: Labyrinth Four players only, but young kids can understand it and I've always found it to be a hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 18 years away from board games and crosswords, but they can wait We started our kids on Catan when the older was 9 and the younger was 5. There's a couple things you can do to simplify the rules, but they got it quick. They're 22 and 17 now and we still play! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) I was at a gaming convention back in the '90's (yeah, I admit it) and I remember when that game hit, it was crazy. One minute everyone was playing History of the World and the next it was Settlers from one end of the hotel to the other. And hardly anyone knew how to play or had any idea what strategies were workable. It was nerd chaos and it was ugly my friends, ugly. And now the golden armed king of cool QB is playing Settlers. Never saw that coming. Edited August 11, 2021 by Mickey 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, at first glance Knox has the best strategy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know what their Gloomhaven strategy is I have this, but still havent gotten a game going yet. I played the Steam version solo a few times. Also have Frosthaven shipping sometime in Sep/Oct. I collect more games that I tend to actually play...lol. Dead of Winter and Betrayal at House on Haunted Hill (might be mixing this title up with the similarly named tv show) are family favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloomhaven is terrific, but it's a 4+ hour commitment with our group- chatty wives + booze. I will buy Frosthaven, but want to beat Gloom first. I'll also say that the token organizers and 3rd party dashboards, counters, standee's etc make the game so much better from an organization standpoint. Betrayal is good, never played Dead of Winter. Over the years, we've also played a lot of Talisman, Pandemic and Dominion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
