I'm really looking forward to AKA Jessica Jones dropping this Friday, I think that's what I'm going for next.

Wow. Didn't realize that was already almost here. The Man in the High Castle comes out in a few days too. How am I going to pack for my move with all this good TV available?

This is my take. But I just don't play in the size of groups I feel would make a game like this sing.

That's dumb. Everyone knows about the internet and that people have internet friends. My mom has internet friends. My grandmother has internet friends.

Huh. I can't imagine my mother or father or step father or step mother having internet friends. I mean, they have facebook, but they are only friends with people they know.

Obviously they are very familiar with the concept, though.

hearthstone is very similar to exploding kittens, CAH, and Dead of Winter in being games that somehow trick people into thinking they're good games

Man. I know where you are coming from with these, but I don't know that I agree with what you are putting together. The problem with exploding kittens is it is pure random, there is no appreciable skill involved. Hearthstone definitely isn't the best CCG on the block by any means, not even close. But it isn't a bad game and it does have a skill component.

And CAH is certainly not the best party game on the block, but it is a million times better than apples to apples which it seemingly ripped off and improved on, and it is the only "board" game I've gotten my step dad to play in years and he is SUPER excited about it, so it gets mad props for that from me.

But yes, I'd rather be playing Dixit or something.

The CAH-killer is Say Anything!

This looks cool, but in the group of people I play with it would be super obvious from handwriting who had written what answer. Seems similar to one of the games in the Jackbox party pack which is a lot of fun. That one is played with cellphones though so no handwriting tells.

Chaos Reborn - a cool bluffing rpg/chess hybrid, that actually is made by the same people who made the original in the 80s if you ever played that. the graphics are sweet and imaginative, and the game is fun and competitive while offering local play (even against computers if you want to distract your kids with it)

Also, "the same people who made the original" is Julian Gollop creator of the original Xcom.

board games (in no particular order): Mysterium, Zombicide, Machine of Death, Betrayal at House on the Hill, One Night Ultimate Werewolf, Mascarade, King of Tokyo and my own favorite misunderstood gem: Fluxx

Lots of the board game thread hates Zombicide because of dice. But I also love it.

Blokus is one of my favourite board games. It's really not all that different from the board games you play as a child, but it's a really great warmup game. My friends and I would have board game night once a week at someone's house and we'd play Blokus when we first got there and/or when people were taking turns cooking, and then after dinner we'd try something more involved like Power Grid or Small World.

It's also great because I can play it with my six year old. :)

Justice Scalia passed away just now, and honestly my first reaction was to smile and cheer a little, but I feel terrible about it, since being happy at a man's death is kinda gross. But I'm still smiling so I guess I mostly feel bad that I don't feel that bad.

Do you guys go play board games at game shops? Or do you play with friends?

There's a game shop that has game nights like every week that's close to me. Just wondering if you guys have ever done that haha.

I typically only play with friends, but I think that is more of a time and opportunity thing then a set rule.

I've played with strangers at cons and it's still been fine.
