The MyGaming board games thread

Yeah, Settlers needs to be 3 people or more I think, because of the trading. If you;re two people, the other person can deny you cards and thereby deny you a win (or you will sit in a deadlock for hours).

Another fun, tabletop game is Cranium. That's more like a party game, with 4 colors each representing a category:

Creative Cat: Pictionary, blindfolded pictionary and clay sculpting
Data Head: True or False, multiple choice, or a question
Word Worm: Spelling, reverse spelling and anagrams
Star Performer: Charades, humming a song, and acting

You roll a dice, do one of the above (based on the card you draw of the above color) and move on if you are right. It is so much fun!

I really enjoy Cranium. It's a family fun kind of game. I recommend it too.

Sure, I'm specifically saying RISK is not a great choice to get newbies into board gaming these days when there are better options like Small World that share mechanics with RISK.

I was trying to show a progression from "mainstream" board games to the the newer, more enjoyable board games. The idea isn't to get a veteran enthusiast interested in board-gaming. Showing an initial interest in Risk indicates that the person might be willing to play drawn out games like Game of Thrones, Arkham Horror or maybe even Catan. Risk was merely meant to be an example of an entry point to newer games from traditional board games.

I want to get Eldritch horror expansion Mountains of Madness. I sometimes play Magic and Yugioh. Also got Marvel Dice Masters

If you play Eldritch Horror then I highly recommend the Forsaken Lore expansion if you haven't already picked it up. It pretty much doubles the card count for the game and just fills it out without adding too many extra rules/card types.

I still have all of my magic cards! But the scene seems pretty dead though, or just me?
