Monopoly?

If you are going to play board games play a real one!

Yeah, like Catan, 7Wonders, Dominion, Citadels, or Terraforming Mars

That is a real one?

I'd rather play hungry hippos with the kids

From a design point of view, Monopoly is a terrible game, and there are so many better ones out there these days

I love Game Night!

What do you play, Milchy?

Catan, Dominion, Mars... good games.

Played a bit of Knights of Camelot lately, good fun. Love any co-op game with a hidden traitor!
Bit of pandemic never goes a miss!

I am a bit ADHD-ey so I like co-op games where I don't necessarily have to be paying 100% attention, especially if the games go for a couple of hours.

Backing Fonua for a big game against the Raiders!

Games I play with my gaming friends are Agricola, Caverna, Ticket to Ride. Carcasonne, Peurto Rico


Can't wait until kids are old enough to play proper games
At home, Milch Calf loves Dixit but it works best with more than 4 players so we don't play it that often. We have the kids versions of Carcasonne (which is pretty good) and Catan (which is still too complex for my daughter)

I also like party games like Taboo, Balderdash, Pictionary etc. Used to play a bit with my parents, but don't play much these days as waiting for the kids to be old enough to join in.

Powergrid is where its at. There ain't no part like a Bureaucracy Day party!

And if it counts as a boardgame, I've just started learning the Pokemon TCG to play with my nephew

Machi Koro is good. Ticket to Ride and Thurn und Taxis are good too. I just can't get into RPG's.

Agricola and Settlers of Catan? My Peoples! Also fond of Photosynthesis and Eldritch Horror
I consider myself Balderdash elite tier.
But Cards against Humanity for when everybody is drinking so heavily they can barely speak.

1863 called, they want their pastimes back.

Seriously though, NLHE is the only correct answer.

There's a great game called Machi Koro that I play with my kids (5 & 8 ) - It's simple enough for them, but still engaging enough that I don't get bored.

or... Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle

Played Cards against Humanity for the first time last week - pretty fun.

Also played a dice game called Chupacabra - really simple and quick but still good.

and here I felt like Machi Koro looked too complicated for me.

Why hasn't anyone said Risk or Squatter?

If you aren't playing online, sling me those online codes.

I have never heard of Squatter, and we play Risk on the PS4 as it is faster paced.
