My brothers and I once had a game of Risk that went on like six hours and we didn't speak to each other for days after, until we wanted to play Risk again.

My ex was losing at ticket to ride so she "jokingly" smashed the entire game off the table, spilling a drink onto everything in the process. Someone else's house and game ----------------

I can't remember) at one point and every single game someone would make a move for the power cord and would have to be beaten into submission. Sibling rivalry owns but your ex had the maturity of 3 shithead teenagers.

My buddy and I play a lot of 1v1 strategy games. We take loses gracefully, compliment each other's play, and will earnestly and dispassionately analyze a match we just played to figure out together what strategies work in what circumstance. Sorry for ya'll stuck with Rage Gamers.

I used to be one, it really is hosed when you take a short moment to realize what a massive tool you're being over entertainment. Ofc I'll still send a bunch of racist hate speech if they throw too many curveballs, but that's fair.

I was really good at the Resistance and fooled my friends in a few consecutive games, they seemed sort of seriously put off by how easily I lied to them but it's just a goddamned game so I'll lie to you as hard as I want! Lying as hard as you can is what makes that game fun.

Rutibex posted:not if you play with the auction rules (and no loving money on free parking I remember playing Monopoly with some friends in college and my roommate's girlfriend insisted we play with the money on Free Parking house rule. I objected, but she wanted to do it, so we played with it. Nobody landed on Free Parking for like the first 80% of the game, so there was a huge mountain of cash built up. Finally, I ended up being the first one to land on it and just steamrolled the other players almost immediately. I wasn't being a bad sport or anything like that, but the first thing out of my roommate's girlfriend's mouth? "You only won because you landed on Free Parking." I KNOW!!!

People play Monopoly as adults because they remember it from their childhood. It should be eradicated.

While this is true, I have played Monopoly with a lot of different people and have never had a game stretch past two hours. Most games took under 90 minutes, and it makes me wonder what the hell I'm doing right or everyone else is doing wrong to make your games stretch on for hours and hours.

90 minutes is still a ridiculous amount of time for such a basic board game. Please, buy something better and don't subject your friends to this trash.

How the hell are you guys finishing your games of monopoly? The game is so long and so shallow we always get bored and quit before getting near a conclusion.

man there are so many other better games than monopoly but it persists because boomers loving loved that poo poo and bought every stupid iteration (oh gee it's monopoly but WITH THE SIMPSONS can you believe it, wife?) so everyone is already familiar with it after having grown up with it

All I know is that sometimes the socially competitive nature of boardgames between friends brings to light existing unspoken tensions between them, but there are also people that like to exploit and amplify these tensions for their own amusement. Said trolls are human cancer.

You need to play board games drunk so the losers have plausible deniability and get to leave with their dignity untouched, blaming their loss on the booze.
