Your most played game of all time!
Your favorite game of all time!
========== Here‘s my list:
-
King of Tokyo: Awesome art, great table presence, easy to learn, different winning conditions, always fun!
-
Tidal Blades: I love asymmetric RPGs with character customization! But I only got it to the table once. Time will tell if it holds up.
-
Arkham Horror LCG: My heaviest game atm, since I don’t find enough time for longer games. The most immersive game I played so far! I‘m impressed how this game is designed and I love my depressing roguelike experience with Lovecraft theme here!
-
Most played: Dominion.
-
World of Warcraft - The Board Game has to be my all time favorite: It reminds me of times, when we had opportunities almost monthly to get together and play these long games. Again, customizable asymmetric characters, thrilling item management and fighting mechanic, skill trees (expansion), everything I loved about the PC game was so well captured here.
Favorite Lightweight: Honestly? Sushi Go–it’s just so stupid and yet so fun. Wish we had people over to play it more often
Favorite Medium: Dune Imperium–although it very rarely makes it to the table
Favorite Heavyweight: Spirit Island–just a great game overall, but man you have to dedicate time for it
Most Played: Probably Wingspan–it is my husband’s favorite game and an easy one for us to get to the table
Favorite: Dune Imperium–hands down my favorite game. Worker placement, deck building, and combat–what’s not to love?!
Light: Deep Sea Adventure (highly entertaining quick game with a tinge of sadism) and Splendor
Medium: Tie between Bruxelles 1893 and Gaia Project
Heavy: Terraforming Mars all extensions except Venus Next
Most played: Terraforming Mars
All time favourite: Tie between Netrunner and Terraforming Mars
Is netrunner that good? I have it in a box since it came out, never had the time to play it, but love the design
Netrunner is such a banger! This is n’the only ccg that really stuck with me I’m so happy fans continued where ffg left.
- Light: cartographers/aquamarine
- Medium: Isle of cats
- Heavy: Spirit Island
- Most played: Gloomhaven, I think we have close to 150 games played.
- Favorite: I think this is a tie between Gloomhaven and Spirit island. I like campaign games a lot, but spirit island is such a wonderful game. SI always manages to give you that “how are we gonna do this” feeling, and then you stabalize (most of the times). Every game is tense.
Light weight: 6 Nimmt
Medium weight: Ginkgopolis
Heavy weight: Fire in the Lake
Your most played game of all time: Wizard (we’ve worn out 3 sets, and everyone in the family has sets. There was a solid decade where we played it constantly)
Your favorite game of all time: That’s a decent question. I have games that I’m quite fond of, a bunch of 9s on BGG but no 10s. There is nothing I have with over 10 plays right now that I’m of the opinion “wow, this is both a game I really like, and one in which I see as a clear first among equals.”
+1 for 6 nimmt, I play it with a bunch of 3rd graders and they love it as well
We’ve played a snot-ton of 6 Nimmt, so much that we’ve worn out two decks and are on our third…
I stopped by the Amigo booth at Origins this year and said that we play a lot of 6 Nimmt, and what would they suggest to diversify. They pointed me to 2Can and we played a round and I can see the potential, especially at player counts under 4 or 5. I haven’t gotten it to the table yet at home, but it’s on the agenda for July.
Light: silver and gold
Medium: Dune Imperium
Heavy: mage knight
Favourite: Dune Imperium or mage knight
Most played: I have a rotation system that explicitly forces me into picking new games each week.
Mage Kight is a great game.
