Board games

[Warbie]

I'm after a board game to play on holiday - something that isn't Monopoly or Trivial pursuit. I've been recommended Dominion by a friend, but am after as many suggestions as possible.

Any ideas? Preferably something for 4-6 people.

Jackpot.

 

['Wes]

Cluedo, scrabble.

4 decks of cards and play cheat or BS whatever u want to call it also means u can play other card games like switch and pig etc etc etc

 

[mjt]

Risk.
One game should last you the whole trip

What sort of thing are you after? Strategy, quick card type games or something else?

[utajoker]

dont rule out monopoly, its the greatest board game ever made.

Aside from the board aspect UNO is a great group game and enhanced with a forfeit (shots)

Cash 'n' Guns is a hell of a lot of fun with 6 players, especially if you've had a bit of a tipple.

For 4 players, you won't get much better a board game than the Warhammer themed "Chaos in the Old World".

Alternatively, there's "A Touch of Evil", "Zombies!!!" and "Last Night on Earth" that are all great for 4 people.

"Arkham Horror" is a classic, but you're talking at LEAST 2 to 3 hours to finish a play, and you don't win too often. Great, GREAT boardgame but not worth it if you're playing with people who lack patience or investment in the game.

Oh, also, not a board game per se, but the card game "Munchkin" and its various spin-offs are riotous fun.

I have played Chaos in the Old world, it's about £45 so not cheap, but has loads of strategy. If you like that look at the Battlestar Galactica board game. I own Zombies!!! and that's quite good fun for 4 people but gets a little repetitive. If you like Munchkin, also look at Fluxx and Chrononaughts. All are good for a quick card game for a few people.

Articulate > Everything

 

[Morbius]

Backgammon.

Edit: Actually, scratch that one, it's for two players only.

 

[Squark]

Get Perudo, it's the only game you'll need

 

[uvarvu]

Triominoes!

 

[skippy2421]

Rummikub, Game of life, Payday or cranium.

I like my board games

Edit: or mousetrap or kerplunk or buckaroo.
