Who here loves board games? I've never been really into tabletop games but I really want to get into it more. I just bought my girlfriend Settlers of Catan for her birthday because she's always wanted her own copy, and she's going to teach me how to play it. I also bought Monopoly recently for my roommate and myself since it's a classic!

I love board games but me being me I hate losing. unless I get drunk, then I couldn't care whether I win or lose.

Haha, I've never cared about winning and losing when it comes to games, and I'm happy about that. I feel like it'd be too stressful if I was trying to win all the time.

yea. in certain games I don't care but with other stuff I get really competitive. usually when my family gets together for a board game I tend to drink a bit too much and I get really silly. I'm very happy I'm a funny drunk.

Settlers of Catan is an awesome game. I've only played it twice, but it's addictive.
I'd love to get into tabletop gaming too. Especially the White Dwarf ones or whatever they're called. Too expensive though. Way too expensive.

I used to play HOTEL with one of my best friends when i was a kid,he had the board game.I remember also playing Guess Who back then,I had that one and I also had one called "The Inca's Treasure" and some other ones.I also had "Ghost Castle".
I regret now,that I never bought Hero Quest.I do have RISK though now.I used to have it when I was a kid too but hardly played it at all.I bought it some years ago when I was studying.

Monopoly was always my favourite as a kid but my brother and I also loved "Battleship". These days we play chess, euchre and cribbage mostly.

chess is always a fun game to play. I also like Risk.

I never played "Risk" but I heard it was great.
Did anyone ever play "Operation" as a kid? We loved that one too, though I have to say the buzzing when you touched the sides was really unnerving!

I actually thought I was being electrocuted whenever I played that game. I wasn't a terribly smart kid...

My bf and our friends and I stayed up so many nights until 5 or 6 AM just playing this game. We also bought World of Warcraft Monopoly, which was a blast. My all time favourite though, is Risk. I can't get enough of that game, I really want to get it again. Also, what I'd really like, is Lord of The RIngs Risk.

Vanilla Risk sounds kinda boring to me, but I'd definitely play a version that is centred around Lord of the Rings.
